Hi,

If you are coming straight out the back of your NTL/Virgin modem, chances are that it dosent support something called NAT, and is trying to issue your xbox your Internet (WAN) IP address.

You will need to purchace a cable router, plug your modem into this, and your xbox into the router. The router will then issue your xbox an internal IP address - something along the lines of 192.168.x.x. You should now be able to go online.
