I have just got DSL. I dont have a router just the modem. I have built in
ethernet on my mobo. My question is can I get another ethernet card for my
pc and connect my xbox to it and use ics to connect to live? Can someone
explain how to make this setup to me? Thanx in advance

Yes, you can use Internet Connection Sharing with another Ethernet card in
your computer. Remember, that computer must be on when you want to share
the system, since it handles all the routing, etc. Check here:

You don't mention what operating system you have on the computer, but the
following information covers everything in nice detail from Windows 98
through Windows XP: http://computer.howstuffworks.com/home-network7.htm
