:welcome: to Cable Forum :tu:

If your broadband is being supplied by a cable modem, then you must connect your xbox to that cable modem. The ethernet port on the STB will not be activated unless you are one of the decreasing numbers of customers who get broadband via the STB, iin conjunction with a digital TV subscription.

I'd suggest you acquire a router, place that between the modem and the computer / xbox. That way you can use both simultaneously.

so it wont be active at the back.

i was thinkin of getting a router yesterday but i thought it would slow my downloads down
