Firstly, can it be done?
I realize that we will most likely not be able to host a game, but then do not do much of that anyway, but I want to be able to play RS3 while he is on SC2 etc, as well as us both play Halo1 against each other system link.
Will having the Xbox plugged into the router act as a system link setup too?
Cheers,

Yes it can be done, but...
It doesn't always seem to work well for some people. I know of some who have used two XBoxes on XBL using a BEFSR41 & had no problems at all, while others have had no end of trouble. Don't know why
And, as dragon says, as you're sticking with 600k, it could get quite laggy (depending on the game), even without hosting.
I guess the only thing is to just try it & see.
As for system link games through a router: yep, that works fine (as does XBoxConnect).
