Make my Xbox 360 work!, by Keeping It Council on Nov 12, 2007 19:32:12 GMT 1, Hey I bought an Xbox 360 and can't work out how on earth to make it go online, I have AOL broadband and the modem has an Ethranet cable from the phone to the back of it and then a strange square shaped plug which turns into a usb that goes into the comp!
So obviously I can't connect direct I went to PC World and the confused me with talks of routers etc
So can someone explain simple what i need and and what i need to do (pictures would be good)
Or if anybody in Newcastle wants to do it for me theres a few beers in it 4ya! ;D

okay u take out the connection from your pc to your modem and plug the xbox connection in via this...it just means you can't have your pc and your xbox connected to the Internet at the same time...

Just grab yourself a decent switch cgi.ebay.co.uk/Linksys-8-Port-10-100-LAN-Network-Hub-Switch-Fast_W0QQitemZ110195450729QQihZ001QQcategoryZ51268QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
plug it into your modem using a standard cat5 network cable and then plug your computer into one port of the switch and the xbox into another. If you look harder you can probably find a cheaper switch too.
