you need either Cable or DSL, and a hub, your Xbox gets hooked up to your hub along with your PC, both on the same internet connection

easy,if your cable or dsl plugs into your computer through an ethrnet card then all ya need is a hub and 2 cat5 cables like the one that plugs into your cable/dsl modem and goes to your ethernet card....you need either 2 if you use the one you already have or 3 if ya dont......and if your cable/dsl plugs into your system through the usb port all ya need is a ethernet card and one crossover cable..once you hook it all up..you need to run a program called xbconnect which i prefer better then gamespy but gamespy also has one......go to www.xbconnect.com for the xbconnect software and more info
