Step 2: Take an RJ-45 cable and run it from one of the ports of the hub, directly to the Network Interface Card (NIC) installed in your computer.
Step 3: Take another RJ-45 cable and run it from a different port of your hub directly to your xbox.
NOTE: A switch may be used in place of a hub with the same basic setup.
That's it! No other network changes should be needed for this configuration. Your Xbox is now on the same network as your PC.
