Here's the situation.
I have a 360 that was connected to live at my old house via ethernet cable to my pc which shared the internet connection.
My live subscription expired and I didn't bother with it for a while.
Now I live in a new home and I've recently set up a wireless home internet connection with a netgear router and a laptop.
Am I right in assuming that I can connect to xbox live by using my 48hr live trial and plugging my 360 straight into router via ethernet?
