    if your wireless router has a Ethernet socket, you can connect to the xbox.

    You will need an Ethernet cable to connect them.

    YOU can buy a 30ft network cable from maplins 20euro,or pc world, most routers have 4 rj45 ports ,plug 1 end into the router 1end into the xbox network port.
    THATS if you are within 30ft of the router.
    And you can still have 2 pcs using the router while you are on xbox live.
    JUST DONT try to play call of duty on the xbox ,if pc1 is downloading a 1gig file simultaeously.
    THAT could cause lag on xbox live.
    I think smart telecom is the best deal for xbox /gaming use if its avaidable in your area, just dont sign up for bt ,or a company that has a ten gig download cap.
    SEE smarttelecom.ie i think they have a 2meg and 4 meg bb service ,depends on how much you wanna pay per month.4meg,per sec is 40euro per month , check the website,pricing.

    Homeplug adaptors would do the trick here, they transmit your broadband through your electrical sockets. Basically plug one into your router and into a socket nearby, then plug another into a socket near your xbox and bobs your teapot :)

    Have a google for devolo and you will see what they do, i picked up a set in currys for 60 notes, pc world stock them too from various manufacturers.

    Hope this helps
