As some folk may be aware from my brief time on Xbox Live during GTAIV's initial release, I was unable to enjoy the luxury of being connected to both my PC and my Xbox 360 at the same time - it's either one or the other. This isn't much of a problem due to my free trial period being over for a good while now but I'm planning on asking Santa for a year's worth of Xbox Live to further enjoy arsing about in GTAIV online, as well as FIFA 09 too and whatever other games I get my hands on.

So, question is, can anyone point me in the general direction towards a product which can enable me to be connected to both PC and 360? My router (or whatever that thing with the blinking green lights is) only allows me to hook up one and not both. Any help would be appreciated, and any jokes about my lack of intelligence with technology will earn you a brief 24 hour suspension for pissing me off

Buy a router, then Modem->Router->PC and 360

Can I be linked to a recommended router please? All the ones I could find are all wireless, I'd rather have one with wires lol

EDIT: Would THIS work? Cheap, has 2 ports...

Linksys routers generally have 4 ports, simple and cheap too.

Uhh, don't buy a router, that's fucking retarded. Get a Hub, I would recommend a switch, but because its only two devices a hub will suffice.

Link to one would be good Joe, I'm kinda useless with stuff like this lol.

You want a link on here, then you go bug me on MSN as soon as I fucking read the post. I'm almost as lazy as you. YOU PUT ME UNDER SO MUCH PRESSURE!
