Everything will be gone long before me. When the first living thing was born, I was here, waiting. When the last living thing dies, my job is finished. I'll put the chairs on the tables, turn out the lights and lock the universe behind me when I leave.

Is an ethernet cable a regular phone cable? My friend is trying to hook up his x-box live and he got it today. He hooked it up and it always says that the cables arn't connected but they are. Help please.

A phone cable doesn't hook up to an Xbox, you need an Ethernet cable, like what he said above... it looks the same, but it's wider.

If your freind has Comcast Highspeed, you need to feed the cable wire to a model DCM325 digital broadband thingy that comes with the Comcast HS Pack that comes standard with an Ethernet Cable. Did I help?
