well i wanted to keep it simple...i run a 50 ft CAT 5 cable from my modem in the office into my room to hook up the XBOX, what i wanted to do, was get a splitter, and connect up the computer and XBOX on the same line in my room, ive seen them on Amazon for fairly cheap, alot cheaper than another 50ft CAT 5 cable (40 bucks from Radio Shack) and run another 7-10 foot cord out of the splitter to connect both machines....

i was going to get a wireless usb adapter for the computer, but the cheapos are only 150 kbps, which wont allow me to do certain things.... the 600 and 900 series ones get up there in price...i like to keep my systems hard wired so there is no lag in performance...

i have that NETGEAR one that the lady gave us, and installed the software from the website, but for some reason, it will not work...

should i order the stuff online and do it like i was planning, or just bone up the 80+ dollars to make the lappy wireless and hard line the XBOX like it already is?
