I bought an ethernet adapter, I'm on xbc but I just can't seem to get online, I go to system link on Halo 2
and try to join a server on xbc, it says connecting XXnameXX server, and the game room just disappears.

Dont listen to him. You dont need xbox live.
You need a router. It doesnt work with a modem.

I have a router, the 2nd port connects my ethernet adapter straight from there to the xbox, plus my firewalls are disabled.

It sucks because you can only have 1 server at a time in the dropdown list.
And you have to keep going back and forth from your xbox to your pc.

Lol I used to love xbox connect. I might start using it again. I just had to get banned from xbox live for modding my xbox :p . Best thing that ever happened for halo 1 though. But I have my computer right beside a table in my room with my xbox on it which has another dresser beside the table that has my tv on it. So what more could I ask for? I even one time set up the router so that the router was in my room so I could standby. Everything I need is in arms reach :p What games you got slick?
