xBox live and Verizon DSL, how do i make it work?
OK. I have verizon DSL and a "dual connect" DSL modem that is currently connected to my PC via the USB port.
I can change the DSL modem hook-up to ethernet if need be.
What do i need to buy to share my DSL connection w/ my xBox and my PC?
Thanks...
some links to the items at circuit city would really help!

i would just buy a router (a linksys 4 port router) and that way you can just leave your computer and the X-box plugged in all the time, and wouldn't worry about switching cables. I don't have X-box live, but thats the way you would connect multiple machines of any kind to the internet.
NOTE, the product is probably cheaper at comp usa or best buy
PS-- Its also good because it will protect your PC from hackers on the outside as they will no longer be able to steal your IP address by scanning Verizon's ISP service for IPs.

I use this this . But you can just have a hub and it should work, it's not really plug and play but it's easy enough. Just read the quick start guide that comes with your router. Good Luck.
