networking, desperate help
 
hey,

i am totally new to networking!

obviously to backup xbox games i am going to have to sort myself out.

I want to network the xbox to the pc. What exactly do i need,
can anyone give me actual products and prices, as cheap as possible. The product names would be good, cause there are all these things like hubs and routers, i dont know where to start!

exact requirementls would be good.

thanks alot

First off you’re going to need a NIC (Network Interface Card) in your computer. You can get one at your local computer store.
Then you will need a crossover cable, if your going right from your XBox to your computer. This can also be found at your local computer store.

As for prices… I cant really help you there, seeing how every computer store is different.
A NIC and a crossover cable should cost to much.
