I have a question about hooking up 2 xboxes together. Is it possible for to
connect them using only a hub and cat 5 networking cables. We want to be
able to play games like Conflict Vietnam on the same network and so forth.
And help would be greatly appreciated.

or you could get one cross over cable and connect the 2 together. no hub
nessessary. I'm surprised you know what a hub is and does yet don't know how
to connect to xbox's or 2 pc's together.

What if he doesn't have a cross-over cable and only has a hub and 2 patch
cables?
