Are you using a Crossover cable or straight through cable, some routers are
fussy and require one or the other, as a rule
if your going from a router to an Xbox then its a straight through, if your
going from a Cable Modem to a router then its a Crossover you need,
but not always as some routers sense the conection type and adjust
accordingly.
