OK... heres my problem. I am going home for christmas break and would like to set my xbox up along with my families at my house. Both xbox's have Xbox live capabilities. I have tried this once before using a hub and it didnt work out.
Does anyone have some pointers on how to get two xbox consols to work on live under one connection. Note: I obviously would like to have both online at the same time.

I went out and purchased a Router but I am not that experienced with Routers yet....
any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance

I think a router should do the trick. Obviously a HUB doesn't work, it only lets you switch between two devices connected to the same line, but a router splits the line up. I can go on the internet and play Xbox live at the same time with my router, so I don't see any reason why it should be different with two Xboxes. But I don't guarantee anything, so don't blame me if it doesn't work ;)
Good luck with it.

I've tried a couple of different routers, and I don't know if they're on the xbox live supported list, but after a few minutes of a game each player will drop... :/ it's really aggravating for when I go over to a friends house and we both can't play because of this... Any help would be great.

edit: Sorry I did an internet search and didn't realize this was Halo 1 only... whoops.
