The Question is:

Ok, so I need to get my xbox directly connected to my computer (For LIVE) so when I go to commview or C&A it will show my router IP, bungie's, and anyone else I am playing with. Im using a default ethernet cord for LIVE, and it works fine into my xbox, but here is my real question(s).

The yellow ethernet cord that is going into my computer, does that direct connect me? If answer is yes, see Question One below. If answer is false, see Question Two.

Question One: If the above is true, please read question below.

So that direct connects me huh? (This might not be true) - Ok, so where do I plug in my cord for the XBox? Into my router? My mouth? My butt? Some other magical port?

___________________________________________

Question Two: If above is false, please read question below.

So that doesn't direct connect me huh? (This might not be true) - Ok, so what does? Is it that long white wire that goes into a cable outlet (into the wall)? And not into my computer? Or mouth? Or butt? Or some other magical port? Well well, Mr(s). Smartguy (I feel like being P.C. today) So this is true? Where do I plug my cord into? My router? My mouth? My butt? Some oth..(Ok enough of that

Modem---------Router--------Computer~~~~Xbox360

----- = normal ethernet cable
~~~~ = crossover ethernet cable (also known as xbox system link cable)

Connect a crossover cable between the back of your xbox and a port in the rear of your computer. Connect a traditional ethernet cable between a second port in your computer and an open slot in your router. Enable Internet connection sharing (ICS) and set a static IP for your TCP/IP Protocol. (192.168.0.25 with normal subnet mask).

Or just look at I Krafty I's sticky for ICS bridging... lol

Since apparently I can't edit posts...

And GamerX I'm kind of lost on what you are talking about..Are you trying to connected your xbox 360 to the internet by connecting it to your pc? or what?
You do not need a crossover cable for an xbox 360.

Yes, you DO need a crossover cable to connect to xbox live through your computer (ICS). A simple ethernet cable will not work.

The ethernet cord that comes with the 360 is crossover.

Uhh.. I'm pretty sure it's a straight-through because you must buy a system-link cable (crossover) to connect 2 xboxes together.

Plus I've used the one it comes with for other things that require a normal, straight-through cable.

System-link ethernet cables are like $15 and they are exactly like crossover cables.
