    There are "2 to 1" Ethernet adapters - rare as hen's teeth, though (can't even find a pix on Google :eek: )

    Basically, it's got 2 RJ45 female sockets at one end of a small plastic box, and a 2" length of CAT-5 with a male RJ45 coming out of the box at the other end.

    Chanced across one of these years ago, have treasured it ever since (Godsend when only 1 free router/LAN port and 2 PCs need connection). Obviously enough, the xboxes or PCs connected to it can't "see one another" (there's no crossover between the two female inputs).

    I'll try and take a pic and upload it later tonight, and look up any manufacturer/part no. for you.
