i think my best choice and the choice that im gonna take is to exchange this router for a multi port ethernet rouer. i called up internet/dsl provider and they told me that they were gonna come by tomorrow morning to exchange it for me :) i am sure after this i will be connected in no time.

no problem dude, any more hassle just give us a shout.

but thanx for everyone who helped and took the time to answer my questions even though the advices giving to me did not accomplish my goal. i still think u guys did a good job in trying to help me out :)

in the mean time i'll just store my games on the xbox's HDD :D

thats cool taht u got it to work
finally
8)

actually i havent got it to work...but i can still store my games on the xbox straight from its dvd drive to its HDD. it only takes me about 5 mins or so

yea thats the easiest way
thats what i do
buty i still think u should try just doin what i said
after disconnectin the router and just using a crossover straight to the xbox

i didnt work..ill just stick with how i've been doing it....the easy way :) plus my internte/dsl provider told me that they will exchange this router for a multi port in a few hours....yay!!
