Server box? That is incorrect.

Dedicated host for Xbox games means that you dedicate the Xbox to host a game  for others to join without you playing.

It's not enough just to set your status as dedicated host, the game must support it aswell.

A dedicated server is a computer that only runs one type of server software, and is usually constructed according to the user's specifications. Dedicated servers are typically used for web sites that have high traffic, and need many resources and much processing power.

So I am in a way correct.

This is incorrect. If you run the Xbox as a server you most likely have a Linux kernel on it, not a Xbox kernel and therefore cannot play Xbox games.

This is a Xbox forum, not a web hosting forum. Several Xbox games support dedicated host mode.

Get over it.
