Just buy a hub.

Router > Hub > PC
_________|--> 360

And please learn English.

A hub basically shares one connection to many things.

So you buy something like http://www.pcworld.co.uk/martprd/store/pcw_page.jsp?BV_SessionID=@@@@1845410006.121664799 7@@@@&BV_EngineID=ccciadeejekgjfdcflgceggdhhmdfho.0&page=Product&fm=null&sm=null&tm=null&sku=726533&category_oid=

Then you plug your router into it by network cable, then plug your 360 and PC into the hub by network cables.

Yeah, just get a hub or a switch and you just need to plug all three devices into it. Your PC, XBOX, and internet.

awesome, just thinking, i would need 3 ethernet cables, one from modem > hub, one hub > pc, one hub > xbox (got) so I'd need another 1... i think? :p

[Recursion]

Yeh, you'd need 3 :)

[N!ck]

Yeh, you'd need 3 :)

Just an idea, but would the cable connecting to his modem need to be a crossover cable rather than a standard ethernet?

[Recursion]

Nope, just use a normal CAT5e ethernet cable.
