Hi all
I had major snags for ages trying to connect my xbox to pc , I read all the tutorials everything, but one thing was not mentioned (Switching the crossover cable around).

now remember I'm new to all this so if I've just stated the obvious I'm sorry, but this worked a treat and no one has mentioned it before. I always used to get connection timed out error before I switched.

I hope this helps someone.

cheers............
