I'm pretty new to this, so sorry if this sounds stupid. Can you simply connect your pc to your xbox with an ethernet? I mean can you just plug one end of the ethernet into your xbox and the other into your pc? Or must you use a switch/router/hub to create the network?
you need to have a crossover cable to conect your computer derectly to your Xbox. If you use a router or hub then you use a normal netwroking cable.
