Yeah, but all you have to do is enable internet connection sharing.

Or you could buy a regular patch cable for 5 times less, but I'd go with the router =).

Note for future reference...

Patch Cables connect to / from a hub/router to a pc or XB

Crossover cables connect pc to pc or xbox to xbox or xbox to pc directly without a hub.

the only difference is the way thiier wired...
