IP Address

I just bought a hub to connect both my computer and the Xbox to the internet. However, Xbox is telling me that the IP address I entered is already in use by my computer. Is there any way to get around this problem or assign a different IP address to my Xbox that will work? I already tried Googling without much help and I'm about to explode.

There's your problem right there. Unless you pay your ISP for more than one IP, you need a router to share internet.

Damn.

Needs more DHCP.

How come the box says it's ideal for sharing a DSL or cable connection though?

Needs more DHCP. Learn networking.

>>1 fails at internet. You need a router with NAT capabilities if you have a static IP.

get a goddamn router, not a hub next time.

So, I finally got a router and it seems my internet connection on my PC is slightly slower. I also get very few results in Soulseek and can't browse most people.

Needs more actual networking knowledge.  Learn university.

LOL NO U

The signal from your internet connection is being divided between the two devices.  If you have any firewalls on your computer, check to see if the router's firmware has a built-in firewall (you could try accessing it through the 192.168.1.1 IP usually); if it has one in it, it may be conflicting with the firewall on your computer (if indeed that is how it's set up, that is).  Hope this helps somewhat, OP.

Thanks. I was able to configure the router with slsk and works fine now.
