Ok to go online at the moment with my xbox360 what Im doing is I have a cable running from my pc to my cable modem I unhook that cable and unplug the modem switching it off then I plug in the cable from my 360 into the cable modem and turn the modem back on.

It is hassle because when im done gaming and need to use the net on the PC i gotta do that in reverse order, is there an easier way? like sharing your internet connection via wireless or something?

Confused

Yeah if you've got a router you can use that.

Does the make of router matter? or will any cheapo version be ok? I dont think I'll go wireless to be honest as im not really fussed about having the odd cable or two around the place.

Well if you want to save cash go with a switch as someone said. The only problem is is you'll have to have your pc on when you're using the 360.

Not as far as I know. I just bought a cheapo generic one from my local shop and it works perfectly.

Get a router, i wouldnt even connect my PC to the internet without a router. Any generic one will work. I used to like linksys, but i have been having massive issue with them at work. The Dlinks i have used work well, but i have blown up 2 of them due to cheap or faulty Zener Diodes in them.

I havent tried netgear.

Use a Cross Over cable and connect the 360 direct to your PC.. 99% of all Mother boards have on board lan now Smile

Same way I did mine, used crossover cable to get from modem to pc, then had to buy a cheap 10/100 nic card and installed it, then used that to have a crossover cable from pc to xbox 360. Hardest part was getting Xbox 360 past my firewall

So if your ISP only gives you the one IP then its more difficult, but if its all the ISP's where I live they give you 5 dynamic IP's so with a switch you can have 5 simultaneous machines active on the internet.

About 3 metres, maybe more.

Most ISP's give one external IP. It matters not what you run behind them. you can have 254 IP's behind the modem and no one would care, beyond that you'd be buying more hardware.

As for the problem, use a cross over cable and share the internet connection via the PC. Switch or router is pointless if you've just got the PC and 360 sharing the connection.

You would of course have to have the PC on if you wanted the 360
