A friend configured on his lappy in Windows and then i just plugged in and went. The whole process took 5mins and i've had no problems so far.
I was using Live through Mac ICS because I have a USB ADSL modem. I have an ethernet cable going to a four port switching hub in the other room from the Mac which everything plugs into (other Macs etc.). I was patching the Xbox into this and it worked fine ...
... until I upgraded to Panther (Mac OS 10.3). It no longer works so I'll have to get a router. If your friend has OS 10.2 and the modem isn't using the ethernet port just wire the Xbox into it, turn on connection sharing in the Sharing control panel (in system preferences) and it'll work fine. Otherwise it's the router solution.
