As others have said, you can either buy a router and stretch ethernet cable from it to your Xbox or you can go wireless. I have a Linksys wireless router and their WET-11 wireless ethernet bridge.
The wireless router would sit near your cable modem and you could use it to add other computers to your network that are close to your main computer. It's "wireless" in that it will work with other wireless equipment...
The WET-11 would talk to the router and allow you to plug in ethernet devices (such as your Xbox) to get them on your network without stretching cables everywhere.
It's a bit expensive (around $100 each for the router and the WET-11) but it's clean, fairly easy and it works great.

so wireless next to my cable modem would let me use my xbox and put my kid online as well-xbox would be hooked up in my living room about 5`away(-)but~id like to move it into my Theater Room 8` screen at times,thats about 50`away-,my Kids room would stay about 25`-if 50`is to far or a pain in the ass to move i can not play online in there!!!!!
would this work-

Yeah. It sounds like you need a wireless router system. At least your kid can have her computer online, so that should help "justify" the expense.
I wonder how many people buy a Live Starter Kit or a PS2 modem without knowing that you need the router as well? (OK, you can use the PS2 dial up without the router, but besides that). At least some of the third party developers are putting out simple solutions. I saw a Mad Catz router at BB yesterday.
