    Gonna help you dawgs on dis one....

    You need:

    Cable, DSL, T1, or T3 connection
    A Router, Hub, Gateway
    Cat5 Cables (some should come with router)
    Gamespy Arcade
    Gamespy Tunnel

    What You Do:

    Turn on Computer and Router
    Connect the Cat5 to the back of the XboX
    Run Gamespy Click XboX
    (If its Halo go to system link games and wait, when you connect to a game it should have the game come up there)
    And there you have it

    gamespy is free if you can stand the ads 20 dollars for banner free site
    hub and cables going to run ya about 50 or 60 bucks depending on the lengths you need,,

    go with a hub its a bit cheaper the switch

    a switch is a lil smarter about directing info between 2 PCs thats all,, its not needed for this aplication
