buy a router and you'll probably need 2 ethernet cables. one to go from the router to your computer and another to go from the router to your xbox. i strongly recommend linksys routers. any router that has the xbox live compatiable logo should work though.

on a side note if you have high speed internet you really should have a router anyways. in this day and age having an always on high speed connection with out the hardware firewall protection is just begging for trouble.
