Does it matter if you use a hub instead of a router??

I have a 4 port HUB on my home network. And My Xbox works just fine with it as well.

However I preffer Nic to Nic connection since it is a lot faster than DHCP.

Simply add a second Nic card to your PC. Connect the Xbox to your second Nic card.

Set them both as static and there you go... You should be able to get over 10Megs/s upload from your Xbox to your PC. From the HD that is.
