That is only for those with the crimping tools.

A much easier solution is just go out and buy one of those dirt cheap network hub/router. After all, one needs such thing when there is more than one PC(including Xbox) anyway, IMO.

i only have one computer so i dont want to spend money on a router. don't they cost atleast $25 anyway. and can u even use a router on a 56k connection?
how do u wire it to itself?

I don't know. I only know that  if you want to make such a cable, you have to have all the tools to make your own network cable and that set cost me more than a router. the mighty linksys WRT54G which is only selling for 50 bucks or so that include wireless.

There must be some cheaper wire only ones. Or you really want to save, borrow one from whoever. you just need that for 5 minutes or so.

In the US, buy one from Bestbuy and return it.
