it would be easier to just connect the xbox straight to the router, it sounds like you're having an ip conflict where both the pc and xbox are trying to use the same ip

have a look on google at how to set up a static ip on the xbox

Prob the network settings on the machine, just gota go in and configure a static or automatic IP... and make sure the router settings are good too... lots of resources on this, liek above...

Make sure UPnP and dhcp is enabled on the router and the proper ports are used for xbox live...

If you give the xbox a static IP, sometimes it's easier just to stick the xbox' IP in the routers DMZ.... infact to get an open NAT easist, just stick the router in the DMZ to make it easy

This isn't a broadband issue, so moving to Xbox forum.
