Hooking up multiple xbox's

[MaverickBP]

i spent a second looking for an answer and couldnt find my answer so can someone point me in the right direction?

im pretty sure its simple as a hub

and i dont care if its the wrong forum

i always thought you could just hook them up with ethernet cables, i mean aren't there two ports on each xbox...one to two two to three three to four or whatev

just get a hub. you just plug all 3 xbox's into it, hook them to 3 tv's, get 3 copies of the game, and go to system link and you will see the hosting xbox there if the gametype is setup.

all you need is a router/hub....thats it

so i can just take a router and plug em all in...does the main xbox need to be connected to port 1? or the internet port like i was using it to split my internet connection? i heard some routers dont work with xbox's. no setup involved like when hooking it to a pc?

no...plug them all into normal ports...leave port 1 alone. The systems will recornize the 'main' xbox
