Dizzy Posted June 28, 2008 Report Share Posted June 28, 2008 HELP !!!!! My pc's connected to an ntl/virgin broadband modem via a long ethernet cable (ie straight into my pc). How can I connect my sons Xbox 360 to work via the same broadband connection but WITHOUT him nicking the ethernet cable out of the back of my pc Is there a way that we can both be 'hardwired' to the same broadband connection via ethernets. Doesn't matter if it has to run through my pc as long as we can both use it at the same time. Failing that I do have a wireless router and dongle in the back of a cupboard somewhere. Could I use that on an Xbox 360 and if so HOW ? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evil Sid Posted June 29, 2008 Report Share Posted June 29, 2008 have tried looking at the xbox live website. it may help. http://www.xbox.com/en-US/support/connecttolive/xbox360/connectionmethods/intro.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted June 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2008 Thanks but I'm still confused (doesnt take much). From what it says I think I need a special xbox wireless RJ45 ethernet dongle/thingy for the xbox... ?50 and a wireless gaming router that is certified by microsoft as xbox compatible... more ???? I guess. I'm sure there must be an easier and cheaper way as it all sounds rather costly.......perhaps I'll just give him my PC ethernet cable and I'll stay off the internet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted June 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2008 I've done it All hard wired via ethernet cables through the same broadband connection and carpets replaced sucessfully (well sort of) One large glass of wine and it was simple Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
