Xbox live & Ntl

dave oc · 2005-04-25 15:41:56

Does anyone know if you can connect a pc and xbox at the same and use both simultaneously with ntl. Been looking around and cant find and definitive answer. Havent got ntl yet but am very tempted with the 3meg package. Any help would be great.............

The modem will only allow one network device access to the WAN. But you can get around this easily by getting yourself a router, connect that to your modem and then connect your pc and xbox to it, simple.

Yes, but you will need to connect a router to your modem. You could also connect the PC to your modem via USB and use your network card to connect to the XBox and setup internet connection sharing. However, the router is the better option as you would not need your PC to be switched on to use the connection for you Xbox.
