Posted: Tue Mar 04, 2008 5:21 pm Post subject: [HELP] X-box 360 |
|
|
although this does not particularly involve computers I thought it would be the best place to ask this question..
well I have a xbox 360 with xbox live.. it is connected to my router and everything is ok. But I sometimes have to leave to go to another house. And i want to bring my xbox along. The only problem is that the other house has cable as their isp. The problem is that there is no router. and the modem has 2 parts that have to connect to the computer. a normal Ethernet cable and a usb. ( I have no idea why it requires a usb) so I was wondering if i would have to go buy a router so i can connect my xbox, or I could connect it straight to my xbox360. since the 360 has 2 usb ports I think it might work..
and if you could find a router that can work with this particular modem it would be great.
EDIT: when I was ATTEMPTING to write this post I actully found it very hard to explain the problem. so feel free to ask questions about my post. I started confusing myself as I was writing this. |

I think I sort of get you. Try unplugging the main internet cable from the modem and plugging it into your Xbox.
So its between internet on your computer or Xbox live on your 360. Can't have both running at the same time. _________________

Please note, above the Ethernet port in the back of a 360 there's another USB port. I'll assume it's for what you're talking about.
I'm pretty sure you're supposed to only use either the USB or the Ethernet cable, so, try and see if you can put the Ethernet cable in one of the machines and the USB in the other. _________________

can't you just unplug whatever is plugged into the computer and put it into your xbox and see if it works? _________________

Xbox 360 is atleast as good as that peice of crap.
I doubt you can really come up with any good pros that PS3 has over 360. _________________

Also, before you even think about it, Blu Ray is not a plus.
Even if it was, coming april, there will be a blu ray player attachment for the 360. _________________

How do you expect to get wireless from a wired connection? If you're lucky, use your neighbors connection with hardly any signal? Sweet fucking plan.
1. It doesn't NEED USB, one or the other it can use. Ethernet is obviously the faster of the two.
2. Unplug it from your computer, plug into xbox, or buy a router and have both connected AT THE SAME TIME |

| I'm not sure what you're asking. If you just want to plug the xbox into the modem, just use a normal ethernet patch cable and you're good. If you want to plug in both the xbox and a computer, one on USB and one on ethernet, that won't work. I've only ever seen one modem that will assign multiple IP's and chances are your friend's won't. |

The PS3 is better. I can access the internet from a giant plasma TV. Not to mention no lag, looks better (Admit it Madman) , controllers doesn use batteries, and you don't need to pay for an account that has access to PS3 online. _________________

You can access internet from any device that has access to the Internet, as long as it can plug into it -_-.
No lag? ... Ok, that is pretty standard.
Doesn't look better, and is no where near as customizable as the 360. Besides, looks is just an opinion.
My controller doesn't use batteries either.
Doesn't surprise me that you don't need to pay for online since it is not even comparable to Xbox LIVE.

There are mods to incorporate sixaxis control, which by the way is overrated.
Warhawk? never heard of it.
Controller has a better feel? It's the same goddamn controller they've had since Playstation 1.
Any console can have an OS on it if it has the hardware...
A camera!?!??!? WOAH COOL! 360 can too.
My wireless mic works from all the way in my kitchen, no contest here.
Any more people think PS3 is better? _________________
