Right...
I'm a bit stuck here.
I gots a BT Home Hub in my cellar. Wifi doesn't reach from there to my bedroom. So I ran a single wire upstairs to my bedroom, with another 4 port router acting as a hub. My PC recconises it and ammends all the crap and has no problem getting on the internet.
360 however...
That is a problem. Keeps failing when it trys to connect to the DNS. I think its because its trying to go through the 4 port router diretly to the internet, rather than going to the one in my cellar.

Anyone know how to change the settings or whatever needs doing to have both running in my room without having to swap the cable between each depending on what I want to use?

Recap:
360 and pc > router > home hub > internet

Im pretty sure Homehubs dont like Hubs being attached to them, i could never get them to work for a friend, in the end i just bought a new better router.

had a very similar problem before. I called microsoft and first time they had no idea what to do and they were dumb, but the next time I called the guy gave me a ip address and a dns # to manually put in the 360 and it worked perfectly after that. I dont remember what the dns # was though.Look on google about it im sure someone has the dns # unless it could be different for everyone im not really sure im no proffesional xbox internet netweorker or anything. O but it seems like maybe the router or the routers box it came in ( if u still have it if not check the internet for it) had a dns # and that might of been the one he told me to input im nor really sure though it was at least 2 years ago and I dont remember all the details

From what i can remember from my networking days, is that Hubs divide the 10/100 network for computers, Now i dont have a 360 but this is why i hated a hub.
Get a switch, it should fix ur problem, What i think the problem is, is that the 360 doesnt see the 10/100 network due to the bandwidth of the hub being divided all over the place.
Try it, if it doesnt work, return the switch.
