 dont use crossover. xbox automatically changes regular to crossover IF NEEDED. maybe its not needed ummmm, idk

I use crossover cable and its fine. But I have mine running into a router. You can't run it directly into your PC. If your modem has 2 LAN ports then stick it there, if not then you can either get a router or unplug your computer from the modem and then just stick your crossover in the modem...and your off. Enjoy LIVE

There is a way to hook your xbox up to a computer that has wireless internet, through an ethernet cable, in order to access live.  Not sure how to do it, but I am certain I have seen something about it somewhere on the internets.

its not that hard to do, just need to reconfigure the laptop to pass through the wireless out the ethernet port. this sounds complicated, but its not, if you lap is xp+ it will do most of the work for you. here is a tut:

this may sound stupid, LOL, but what is a crossover cable?

[Max_Kreeger]

Its a normal LAN cable but the wires are crossed over. So the data doesn't basically crash into each other. Its used in master-master systems where they both send data. Instead of just master-slave.
