Hi All:
I am hoping to have 3 Media Center 2005 computers connected together on
a
hardwired LAN......AND have only one of those computers also connected on
the
same CAT5 cable to my Xbox 360 in the LR to control the tv display. All 3
computers have either "fast" or "gigabyte" ethernet hardware built into
the
motherboards. I am wondering if I can add an old Linksys Etherfast 10/100
LAN pci card to the Xbox/connected computer and run two networks from that
computer so that the xbox won't be on the same IP address as ALL the
computers, thus causing a problem for the Xbox? I am not quite sure how to
wire that up and what I would need to use if it is a possible solution to
my
needs. The computers are currently connected thru a 4-port ethernet
switch
and do not need to have a modem connection. My goal: 3 computers that can
network together and only 1 of them network with the XBox 360! Possible?

I'm confused. Why don't you want the Xbox on the same LAN? Mine is and it
works fine.
