You need a hub yif you want to use that cable or you need to buya cross connect cable. When you connect two network cards togheter without a network device in the middle you use a cross connect cable, otherwise use a normal patch cable and a hub or switch.

i'm guessing but you may need a crossover cable rather than an ethernet cable

that should be right. since the xbox just has a regular NIC, you can't just go nic to nic with regular cable. unless you put something in between.

yep, that's all you need. never personnally tried it, but it will work. :)

i'm guessing all that the xbox cable is is a crossover cable lol

it always cracks me up when i see that for sale. they make it seem like it will only work with that one. and don't they charge a buttload for it too?
