Hi
Ive recently brought an xbox 360 elite, havent plugged it in yet its for xmas. I have an NTL cable modem (its always on and broadband) my pc internet runs from the usb port in the modem, therefore there is an ethernet port free. Could i plug my xbox 360 ethernet cable straight into this port and get internet access from my xbox 360. If yes - would i be able to use the pc on the internet and go on xbox live at the same time? Thanks guys.
no you can't use the usb and e-net ports at the same time , you can use connection sharing from your pc to the 360 which would mean you can use both pc and 360 at the same time (that would be impressive) , otherwise (your best bet imo) you need a router becasue its a bit of a pain having to have the pc on at the same time as the 360 if you want to play online
Be careful with ics because you are essentially turning your PC into a server and if it isn't very powerful you will get slowdown, and possibly some connection problems with xbox live.. I would personally get a router and wireless adaptor for the xbox and run it wirelessly with the PC on ethernet.
