This setup guide should help but if your using a cable it should be pretty much plug in a go.
I connect via wireless so had to mess around with wireless key etc but didn't have to touch the hub.

Another thing you may have to do is set up port forwarding for it. This is where the HH comes into a league of it own, and I mean it. Very simple.

Go here: http://api.home/cgi/b/games/cfg/?ce=1&be=1&l0=4&l1=5
Username and password are 'admin'
Once page is loaded you will have two drop down boxes, the one on the left select Xbox Live, in the left hand one select your xbox from the list. Once done click add.

Viola port forwarding set up for the xbox for xbox live.

Yup it is very, just make sure you do that so that all runs well and if you call up xbox/microsoft and they get you to run a test it comes back perfect everytime. Even they are impressed how good it works.

1 quick question is it possible to get a longer ethernet cable than the 1 suppiled with the home hub. Reason i ask is that the hub is on 1 side of the room, and the 360 the other and due to where the phone box is cannot really shift it.

Yes cat 5 cable or Ethernet as it is known can run for up to 100m without problems.
