The router should work fine with a strait cable...

Here are some questions that if you answer will help someone nail down
the problem for you...

What is the IP ADDRESS/SUBNET/GATEWAY of your computer?

What is the IP ADDRESS/SUBNET of your router?

and if your router has dhcp server built in, you
would do yourself a favor to enable it and use dhcp
to assign the addresses to your xbox and computer

I prefer static set addresses myself, but if you are new
to networking dhcp is much easier...
