your xbox has to be connected to your computer, your computer has to be connected to the internet, its that simple.

if you have 2 nic cards in your computer u wouldn't need a router.  You could also just use a hub and it should work.

 Heh, if he doesn't have a router, as he says, the problem isn't connecting the Xbox to the computer, hub, or switch. It's how he's going to get it online.

You use a crossover cable when you haven't got a hub or switch, and/or for some reason want to/need to connect it directly to the computer.

Router has nada to do with the connection between computer and Xbox.
