I want to hack my xbox original but I dont want to keep it in my den right next to my wireless gateway. Is there something I could use that would allow me to plug in my wired xbox Ethernet to some cable so I could connect to my gateway?

I want to string an ethernet cable from the the internet cafe on the first floor to the 4th floor condo I am renting. Will the connection be affected by the lenght? I cant use wireless, it needs to connect my Vonage phone and 1 or 2 computers. The internet cafe has a 256K connection.

I have an Acer (3months old) and it won’t recognize that the ethernet cable is installed. I hooked everything up to my laptop and it works great. So must be the connection is bad. Its under warranty but hate to ship it out. Would an external ethernet device that plugs into a USB port work?

I have a Motorola SB5120 modem and I want to know how to switch from usb internet connection to ethernet connection. I already have an ethernet card.

I have windows vista if that helps.

I have a laptop connected to the internet through a wireless modem and a desktop. I want to use the wireless connection that the laptop is receiving and connect the desktop to the internet through an ethernet cable between the two computers.

Both computers are running Windows XP Pro SP3.
Edit: I have a crossover cable.

I share my videos via ethernet to my xbox 360. But every time I unplug and replug the ethernet cord i have to change the ethernet connection back to private every time. It says unidentified network and always sets the sharing to public instead of private so in order to watch my videos I have to go into Network and Sharing Center an manually change it. I just want it to say permanently private. Thanks for your help
