My inital guess would be that the Linksys is causing the problem somehow. Can you try plugging both 360s into the Belkin and see if you can log on OK on both at the same time? I know it may be tricky with just one TV but it will help narrow down the problem. Leave both Xboxes on automatic settings i.e. don't manually set the IP addresses when you try this.

You say the Linksys is being used as a hub. Can you check that DHCP server is turned off on the Linksys? If it's turned on then it could cause problems.

Also, and I know this may sound silly, but can you double check that your modem is connected to the WAN port on your Belkin and not in to one of the LAN ports.
