One Ethernet cable will work if it is a "CROSS OVER" Cable, not a standard Ethernet Patch Cable. You can get one at any place that sells cabling, however it must be cross over. You can also buy one sold by microsoft called the System Link Cable;
http://www.xbox.com/en-us/hardware/xboxsystemlinkcable.htm

This will allow two xbox's to play together, and yes you can have 8, 4 per xbox.
If you want to connect more than 2 you will need a hub or a switch and one standard ethernet patch cable per xbox. The hub/switch does the cross over for you.

I work in computer netoworking, msg me if you need more help.
