no, it is a standar Ethernet CAT 5 patch cable, one to the other and you'll be up and flying

pretty much, you can get a special cat 5 made at some PC stores or even get a 100 foot normal one and swap the wires, find out how different places on the net

You can use gamespy to play against others on the Internet. In a few more months Microsoft should have their game network ready.

actually to hook up xbox to xbox (NO HUB) its a crossover wire, not catagory 5 wire.
