this is in regards to the crossover cable i just spent 2 hours looking around the local staples office supply store and could not find anything called crossover cable what i did buy was a Fast CAT5e Networking Cable male to male ends ethernet cable RJ45 will this work to network my xbox to my computer
That'll only work if you're using a router. If you're trying to do a direct pc to xbox connection, it won't work.
Radio Shack has the crossover cables.. It will say "cross over cable" on the package.. They carry two lenghts there on the shelf.. ten feet for $9.99 is what I got.. works perfectly
yea theres also one at futureshop for 14.99 its a retractable cable works great pretty fast transfers too!
my word--- are people still buying these??? you're getting ripped off buy paying through the nose for an "xbox link cable" or other marketing crap! a normal rj45 utp lead (std network cable) is much cheaper and can be easily converted into a crossover.... its simple: 1. cut the length of cable in two 2. seperate the internal wires and strip the ends off the following (both ends): ORANGE, ORANGE-WHITE, GREEN, GREEN-WHITE 3. now join ORANGE to GREEN (both sets) then join ORANGE-WHITE to GREEN-WHITE 4. use insulating/electrical tape to cover all the bare wire and seal the cable back up in the same way VOILA! One crossover cable - make it as long as you want!! Note that the other wires, blue, etc are not needed - just make sure they're sealed off - a bit of tape will do this.
