Does your usb modem not have an ethernet port?

In order to set up the wireless router, you would need to configure it with the settings that came with your usb modem. Do you have the manual for the belkin router?

The USB modem isn't designed to be plugged directly into teh XBOX 360 - which I'm guessing is the source of your errors?

Does your computer have an ethernet card? I think that the easiest way to accomplish is to use your existing modem. You need to get either 2 ethernet cables and a hub, or something called an ethernet 'crossover' cable. This will allow you to plug your XBOX360 network port into your computer.

What OS is your computer running?

its running xp but erm i have a normal ethernet cable running from 360 into router or comp (tried both) dont work you know and my modem only has one connection point apart from the usb and that is for the adsl line? really confusing sorry guys, i know you could be doin better things at the mo but i really want this done thnx
