ok.....networking lesson

a crossover cable is used to hook up two pc's / nic's directly. the wires are switched inside of it.

a straight through cable (also known as a patch, if my memory serves me) is used to plug from a nic to a router. a crossover will not work in this respect. the wires are NOT switched in this setup.

its all very easy to find on the web.

so to plug xbox to xbox, or xbox to pc, use a crossover. if that doesnt describe your situation - use a straight through.
