I think you don't need a router if you use a cross-over cable. I'm not sure though - I have very little experience with this sort of thing.

look man, Its quite simply Just plug you ethernet cable into your computer and into your xbox, Use the network setup wizzard in windows to share your internet connection with your xbox. Or you can simply plug it into the back of the modem, wich becomes a pain because u need to plug it back in to use the internet on your comp.But instead of fussin with all that cable just buy the wireless connection for xbox, I beleive it retails for 50 dollars or somthing. Any gamestore should have it or best buy. Hope i helped

as brilliant as tmone is, that is not a good solution. The best thing you can do is get a router for your DSL. Let me ask you this; does your DSL modem have a USB or a Ehternet connection to your PC? If it is USB, you will need to get a Modem(with Ehternet out) and a Router. If your xbox is far away from the computer and your dsl connection you have two choices from there. You can get a very long Ehternet Cable (to patch the xbox into the router) or you can get a wireless router and a wireless Xbox adapter. Beware, if you do the latter you will want to setup some wireless security to prevent your network (ie any shared resources on your PC) and your internet connection from being abused. I have a wireless network in my home, two computers hardwired, wireless laptop, and my xbox is hard wired (i was too cheap to pay $75.00 for a xbox wireless card). I can give you more on this subject, but i really need to get reay for work. MSG me later is you want more details, or more help. i do this stuff for a living and am always happy to help fellow gamers.

Wtf??? That like almost what i said! But you did offer some good soulutions, and explained better than i did. But how would that be better than a direct connection to his modem?!?!?

Depending on his modem, this may not be possible, it sounds like his modem may be USB, not ethernet.

well actually my modem has two connections at the back of it. one is a usb which is the one connecting to the computer (my computer doesnt have a ethernet port) and the other is the ethernet one which has nothing connected to it so really does that just mean all i need to do is have a really long ethernet cord and have both the usb and ethernet connected to the modem. will that work?

ok instead of all this non sense and these long posts, just go to best buy, or a store like it, or ebay even, and buy the xbox live wireless adapter....that simple, and plug it into the xbox and ur modem....if u have a router, then make sure its a wireless router and it is compatible with the xbox live wireless adapter....how easy is that.

Why not just get Microsoft's wireless 802.11(b? g? I don't remember) package. I think it's $100.

Why? Obviously because that was when the new hotness hit, you dumb -blam!-. And posting in an old thread is obviously of no use. Bungie will now proceed to -blam!- your mom

His name does not fit him very well. You'd think with a name like Jesus Christ he'd be a little more tolerant. Pathetic.
