hook the included ethernet cable into your modem and into your XBOX, and then start it up and follow the welcome tutorial to set up an XBOX live account.

EDIT:  there is a cable that comes with the 360 that looks like a phone cable.  There should be a port on the back of the 360 that it hooks into, and a port on the back of the modem that it hooks into. Then, turn on the 360 and follow the easy prompts to set up the account.

If you are too far away from your modem, try this solution:

you have to read a little about it, but it would plug into your modem and send the signal wirelessly to the console, while at the same time maintaining the wired connection to your computer.

PS:  I am assuming your modem does not work as a wireless router.
