Well I haven't made a post in a while, I was wondering if you could share internet between your PC and your xbox 360 considering my motherboard has 2 ethernet ports.
ex; Cord from my router, going to my pc in port 1, then perhaps a cord from port 2 on my pc going to the xbox.

I'm thinking of buying an xbox 360 soon and want to be able to play LIVE in my room without buying that nasty 80$ adapter.

If someone knows if this would work, please post.

What does your motherboard having 2 ethernet ports have to do with your Xbox?

And yes you can. The point of a router is to split the modem's internet connection to different places.

So you want the modem to connect to the router, router to computer and computer to 360, yes? Assuming your computer has more than 1 8P8C port, try bridging the connection from one ethernet port to the other. In windows 7 you can do it under
Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network Connections
, but it, of course, varies by operating system.

You have a router.


a router is this box thing with more than 1 ethernet ports which lets you connect more than 1 thinigs to the internet.

a modem is something that allows you to connect to the internet.

some modems have only 1 ethernet port like from optimum cable internet so people need routers to connect more than 1 system to the internet. You probably might have a newer modem like maybe one from verizon cuz i know they have more advanced ones

Modem: gives you internet (Often only one line)
Router: "Spitting" the line down to X number of line

Note that there is a difference between a router and a switch. A router has routing capabilities, like port forwarding, a firewall, QoS, connection limiting (by password or MAC address), etc. A switch splits the connection and nothing else. Also, a modem is the adapter that converts whatever connection your ISP uses (phone lines with DSL, coaxial lines with cable, etc) to the standard cat5 cable and vice versa. A lot of modems have routing capabilites, technically making them routers themselves, but don't split the connection and have only 1 8p8c port.

Thank you. Good Explanation. I know a friend who uses an 8 port switch. If it doesn't have port forwarding capabilities, does that mean all his ports are open? Or are they closed but can't be opened at a later stage? If you connect a modem to a switch, does the modem block the ports before getting to the switch?
