Unplug Your router from the power source leaving both your PC and Xbox connected, then plug the routers power supply back in.  This should work for you as I had the same problem at first and my Computer guy clued me in to this.  As an aside my son is on Xbox live playing halo as I type this so it MUST work!  Good luck.

Assuming you have either DSL or Cable,  then it's the same way you'd connect your desktop computer. You'd connect through an ethernet RJ-45 connector or possibly through a USB  2.0 connector, whick requires an adapter.\n\nYou may be able to connect wirelessly as well, but you'd need a wireless card, an access point or a wireless router

The best and safest way for you to network your two PC's is to purchase a router with 4 port switch.\n\nUse one PC to follow the router setup wizard.\n\nYour ADSL modem will connect to the routers WAN port and the to PC's will connect to two of the routers LAN ports.\n\nOnce you have one PC successfully connected to the internet through the router use the Windows Network Setup Wizard to create your local area network.\n\nGo to Start > Settings > Control Panel > Network Setup Wizard\n\nNext > select "This computer connects to the Internet through a residential gateway... > Next > give each PC a unique name > Next > Provide the SAME workgroup name for both PC's > Next > select Turn on file and printer sharing > Next > apply these settings > Next.\n\nEach PC should now have a unique name and belong to the same workgroup.  Each PC should also have Network Share folders under My Computer.  This shared folder should be visible from the other PC.\n\nTo share a specific folder on a PC go to Windows Explorer > select the folder to be shared > Right mouse click > select Sharing and Security > and follow the directions for the type of sharing you want.\n\nTo find the other networked PC go to: Windows Explorer > My Network Places > Microsoft Windows Network > [your workgroup] > and all your networked PCs associated with your workgroup should be visible.  You can now expand the PC to see what folders and devices are shared.

You can only use either the USB or the Ethernet port to hook up your entire home network.\n\nFortunately, your modem will act as a DHCP server. So, you can buy a $40 switch at any office supply / electronics big-box store, hook the computers up to the switch, then hook the switch to the modem, and both PCs should be on the Internet.\n\nSee this for more info:\n\nhttp://blog.360.yahoo.com/blog-NVb99sQ4RK5BVgIbxdcQdcRtfT8-?cq=1&l=16&u=20&mx=30&lmt=5&p=21

The easiest way is to setup a network to connect them both to. The standard way to setup a network is to use a router, most networks can easily be setup, once you get a router you will need to configure it so it will function as you want it to, then you will need to connect both computers through the router. This should allow you to share files between the computers as well as share your internet connection.\n\nAnother way to do this works if you have Windows XP or I think Windows 2000 lets you do this too, but that is to share your connection that is going into your main computer. To do this you will need it to have two different network cards, one is your existing one that you use to connect it to your DSL connection, and you will need a second one to connect to the other computer, in this case your laptop. In your Network Connections option in the control panel if you right click the connections one of the options is "Bridge Connection" by clicking this you are able to have the connections shared which should allow the laptop to access the internet connection through your desktop.

from your cable or DSL modem connect the ethernet cable to the router input.  Install and configure using the CD which came with the router.  During the installation process it checks the connectivity and you are on if its passed.  Couple of tips though.  \n\n1. Change the default SSID\n2. Never broadcast the SSID (make sure the broadcast option is uncheked)\n3. Set up a 64/128 bit WEP key\n\nOnce you done the above then all your wireless adapters can pick up the signal once you set up with the authentication.

It depends on how you're doing it. The easiest way is to use a DSL switch/router like Linksys or Dlink . connect THAT to the DSL router, and then all your computers connect to the router. Most routers sell between 25 and 50 dollars and have easy setup programs.

You would have to go on your routers page (usually 192.168.0.1 etc.)\nI would recommend that you set up some kind of DMZ just for your XBOX, disabling a firewall can open your computer up to hackers!

A router isn't essential, though its certainly what I'd recommend. \n\nThe simplest (and cheapest) way to connect them is by a cross-over ethernet cable, which means that both PCs must have a network interface, either built in to the motherboard or through an add-on card. Of course this approach is only viable if you're able to route the cable through the house OK, you didnt say if the PCs would be in the same room.\n\nOnce you have this connection made use the 'network set up wizard' in Windows to configure your PC with ICS (Internet Connection Sharing) --- this will also allow you to create a floppy disc with which you can set up the other PC with the correct settings.\n\nUsing a router is very similar, though you'd need 2 'straight through ethernet cables' to connect each PC to the router. Your internet connection is then handled by the router which gives the security benefit of not exposing either machine to the internet, traffic is handled by the router on behalf of the PCs. Once again you'd need to be able to run the cables OK.\n\nIf running cables around isnt an option, you have the option of using a wireless router, at least for the connection from the second PC--one of them will have to be connected by ethernet cable to successfully set it up. \nBear in mind a wireless network isn't as secure as a wired one, if you do use this method please follow the advice at sites such as http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,4149,844020,00.asp and http://www.netgear.co.uk/securing_wireless_network.php ... if you do a google/yahoo search for 'securing a wireless network' you'll find lots of good sites..... and don't forget about popping into http://www.microsoft.com and checking put their security advice.\n\nIf all that seems complicated, dont worry...its really very simple, particularly with the configuration being 'wizard' driven.

You have a few options.  If you want to run an Ethernet cable to the other computer, then you will need a router.  You could get a wireless card for the other computer as well.  You would need a wireless router for that.  Either way you will need a router.\n\nYou will connect the router directly to the modem.  Then each computer will connect to the router.

you need to port forward for your xbox hon.\n\n\nyou have to do a few things first.\n\nmake sure your router is connected and that your xbox is connected to the router. \n\nyour xbox may not recognize your ip address if you are directly connected to a wireless modem, as you will need a router if you are doing it like that. \n\nonce you get the router, port forward that router so that you can game or at least make sure your firewall settings accept your new xbox.

You can connect both to the Internet also, just use a crossover cable between the two systems. One of the systems will need two RJ45 connectors though for the Internet. That's how I did it.

You do not need a router. What you need is a switch. If you are setting up a LAN (local area network) party, that implies that everyone will be relatively local (ie. same building). You will only need up to as many ports as you have Xboxs. There should be no lag because of the network if you use a switch with 100Mbps full duplex ports. Any lag will be because they are made by Microsoft.

Hi\n\n1) Plug the phone line into the back of the router (remember to fit a microfilter)\n\n2) Connect the Router to each of the PC's that you want to connect to the internet using either a network cable or a wireless card.\n\n3) In a web browser on one of the PC's that are connected to the router, enter the following in the address bar: 192.168.0.1. Press enter and you should reach you router config.  (if 192.168.0.1 doesn't work then have a look in your manual for the default IP of the router)\n\n4) In the config for the router there should be an option that allows you to enter your user name and password for you ISP. Enter the details that the ISP gave you into here and click 'connect'. Your router should now connect to the internet. (assuming you've entered all the correct details).\n\nGood luck!!

You'll have to hook it up through a 10/100 ethernet cable, and access the xbox from an FTP client.  Detailed instructions on softmodding can be found here:\nhttp://forums.xbox-scene.com/index.php?showtopic=215055\nhowever, it can definately screw up your machine (not to mention, void the warranty).  Good luck!
