I just got an XBOX 360 and I can’t figure out how to download my media onto my XBOX hard drive from the computer. I hooked up my 360 to the back of my computer where I would usually hook up the CAT5 cable to go to the modem. I opened Windows Media 11 and turned media sharing on but my XBOX still won’t find my computer. If it helps I have a router I can hook my 360 and computer up to if I need to.

I need a step by step walkthrough telling me what to do. 10 points to whoever figures it out first.

What I mean is, will it work with an Ethernet cable to take the place of a USB cord.
No, I’m not trying to use it as an internet connection, I’m using it to access all of my Xbox files, etc, but will it work?

i have an orange livebox.I also have a ethernet cable but when i connected it up from the livebox to the xbox it said disconnected….soo now im thinking i have the wrong ethernet cable and maybe i need a CAT5e ethernet cable….will this definitely work?
i just found an old ethernet cable lying about and i thought my xbox could take any ethernet cable but seemingly it has to be CAT5e and cables like that.

Hi i will be getting xbox live at xmas.
My broadband speed is actually running at 2.5 mbps, is this enough for xbox live?

please note that i will have a ethernet cable connection (belkin cat5e)

I’ve heard that I can’t use the cable that came with my Xbox 360 Elite. I’ve also heard that I need a special CROSSOVER Ethernet Cable. Is this true?

I’m trying to hook up my XBOX Live account.

okay, so i have a cat5 patch ethernet cable, a cat5 ethernet cable that says nothing about its type on it so i assume its patch, a cat5e cable which i also assume is patch because it says nothing on it, and a router. I am trying to system link two xboxes (original). could i use a cable i have to directly connect without a router or would i have to use a router for this because they are patch cables? note that one is a cat5e and the others are cat5.
also, would using a router instead of connecting directly be a slower connection/transfer rate?

im trying to get xbox live and i measured where i need to get the cable and its just barely more than 100 feet. is there any certain store or place online that has cables longer than 100 feet. all the place around where i live only have the 100s. Will a longer cord make it any slower? is there any way to connect 2 ethernet cords together?

1.Do I just take out the one that’s already in?

2.Or Do I just plug in the ethernet cord to the back of my computer(not the moniter)
Oh it’s a modem. I’m sorry, please reply.
No, my modem only one more port left and that is the usb port.

OK, so i have a comcast Arris modem and a d-link di-524 wireless router… where my Ethernet cord a post to go for my xbox live there’s already a Ethernet cord there connecting to the modem. There are Ethernet slots in the router but i dont know if i can connect them in there. Where can i connect the Ethernet cord in the modem? If so how do i do it?

So currently I have a wireless router that I use for my laptop and desktop. And I will be getting an Xbox 360 and was wondering do you HAVE to get an ethernet cable that is for the Xbox 360 or will any ethernet cable work? And I’ll need a really long one because my router is like 25 feet away.

I have a DSL connection and the speed is 100 Mbps. I have a router connecting the two right now but when I sign in to Xbox live I can’t play any games all I can do is see my friends online. I would like to know what is the best WIRED router to connect both my computer and Xbox 360. Any help will be appreciated.

I want to use a long ethernet cable to connect to my modem in the other room for Xbox live. Will this cable work (compatible)?

I have and x box 360, an Ethernet cord, a bright net high speed modem, and I would like to know how can you get x box live working by connecting the Ethernet cord straight into the back of the modem?

I have an XBOX 360 and a PC in my room. My PC is connected to the internet via Wireless PCI card. If I connect my CAT5e cable to the XBOX and my computer (running Windows XP Home), what do I do? ICS or Bridging, and how?
