Stridman, the router: [URL]http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/products/index.html?action=c2hvd19wcm9kdWN0X292ZXJ2aWV3&product_uid=48449[/URL]
You would also need a network card in your PC. This would give you a socket on the back like the socket you use on the back of your Xbox for Live. Then take a cable from this socket to the router from the PC, and one from the Xbox. And bingo.

Im not being funny *laughs* but i dont work and haven't got that much money on me. Because i use an ethernet and USB connection for my Xbox and PC will i need a certain router?
If so, can you, Bullett, find me a router between £1 - £30 and i'll let you beat me on SCPT.

I wanted to ask the same question, unfortunately i couldn't view the router for some reason. Are there any routers out there for about £20 (possibly £30), it has to have a USB port and a Ethernet port because i run my internet through a USB cable and my Xbox through an Ethernet cable.
Or if anyones got one for sale (at a decent price if second hand) i'll buy it off them.

excellent router, use it myself, was originally recommended by Biggles and it's a top piece of equipment. A couple of straight ethernet cables £5 for both:

A LIVE game of your choice. The best LIVE games out are Splinter Cell Pandora Tomorrow, Rainbow Six 3 and as a personal fave I muchly enjoy Links 2004.
All this at around £105 - 110 including a LIVE game.
