    yes this is how ya do it

    Xbox Network Connection using Router

    Step #1: Plug your network cable(RJ-45 cable) that comes from your modem into the WAN port of your router.
    Step #2: Take an RJ-45 cable and run it from one of the ports of the router, directly to the Network Interface Card (NIC) installed in your computer.
    Step #3: Take another RJ-45 cable and run it from a different port of your router directly to your xbox.

    **NOTE** In steps #2 and #3, you should not use a port that is directly beside the "uplink" port on your router, if your uplink port is being used to connect to another routing device.** If your router has a built in firewall, you will need to forward ports 8602 both incoming and outgoing to the internal ip address of your pc. Consult your device manaul for port forwarding.

    That's it! Your Xbox is now on the same network as your PC

    That is a description of a ethernet router hence it is
    talking about RJ-45 cables(ethernet cables)you cannot
    connect your pc to an x box with a usb router (as far as i know) I used to use a hub until I sold my x box
    with a matrix chip in and bought a xecuter 2.3b which
    seems to have a flash problem.
