from aol site.....

**which uses Internet Connection Sharing [ICS]. This is where you connect your gaming console to your existing AOL Broadband computer. You will need to use a special Ethernet cable (known as cross-over cable), plugging it into a spare Ethernet port on your computer and sharing the connection using Internet Connection Sharing**


can some tech minded person point out the kind of card i would need, as i have no ethernet slots on pc, or will any (even the cheapest) pci ethernet card do the job?

if you put you xbox through your computer, as you will have to, other than buying a router. as aol modem doesnt provide and ethernet conection on its modem. you'll need a cross over cable (network cable) conected to the xbox, and the network card in the computer.

then configure the netword conection of intenet sharing
