Setup A
Step 1: Plug your network cable (RJ-45 cable) that comes from your modem into the uplink port of your hub. (Make sure that your uplink is switched to "on").
Step 2: Take an RJ-45 cable and run it from one of the ports of the hub, 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 hub directly to your xbox.
NOTE: A switch may be used in place of a hub with the same basic setup.
That's it! No other network changes should be needed for this configuration. Your Xbox is now on the same network as your PC.
Setup B
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: 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 or visit our
Router Configurations section.
That's it! Your Xbox is now on the same network as your PC.
Setup C
Step 1: Plug your network cable(RJ-45 cable) that comes from your modem into first NIC card on your PC.
Step 2: Take a RJ-45 Crossover Cable and run it from the second NIC card on your PC, directly to your Xbox.
NOTE: A Crossover Cable is only needed if you are connecting the Xbox directly to a NIC card. This type of network setup also requires the use of WinICS (tutorial found here) or a program such as WinRoute© (downloadable from the world wide web). Consult the manual for specific instructions on how to set this up.
That's it! Your Xbox is now on the same network as your PC.

NOTE: A Crossover Cable is only needed if you are connecting the Xbox directly to a NIC card.

Consult the manual for specific instructions on how to set this up.
