I'm trying to connect my XBox 360 to my network at home. Basically, it's a DSL router. It's going from the router to my computer via USB. There's also four ethernet ports in the modem/router dealy, and I have those hooked up to my XBox.
For some reason though, my Xbox won't recognize a connection. Is there any specific settings I have to use? I'm using an Actiontec DSL modem/router.

Oh, for some reason, my Xbox says it's "Disconnected" when it's plugged in, but the lights on the modem say it's working.

Use the correct cable type

sounds like you're using a patch cable. you need a straight cable

use a crossover-cable if you are using a patch-cable and vice versa

Alright, I'll try a crossover cable. Shouldn't it be a regular cable though? It's going from a router to an XBox. My friend uses a router to a switch to an XBox, and he doesn't use any crossover cables.
