XBox Live on Dial Up
So, you want access to the horse armor for Oblivion, but you're stuck with dial up at home? Fear not! With a little creative thinking, you can get online, even with dial up, as long as you have a PC.
The first thing you have to do is LAN your 360 and your PC together. The easiest way is to hook your 360 to your Ethernet port on your PC. Next, fire up that dial up connection of yours. Then setup a home network using the wizard in the Network Connections screen, choosing your dialup connection as the internet connection and the Ethernet port as how you connect to other connections. This will make the dialup connection shared. The 360 will think it has a broadband connection to the 'net, when in fact it just has a broadband connection to your PC.
Now, you're not going to be able to play most games online, as the lag would be so monstrous that you wouldn't be able to do anything, but this works for downloading content from the Marketplace, getting patches, and buying Live Arcade games. Since the Silver membership to Live is free with the purchase of the 360, you've really got nothing to lose. Good luck!

Did you enable internet connectiong sharing? Because I had the same problem with WiFi Max on my DS and PSP, but once I enabled ICS, i didn't get an IP error.
