So I have a cable modem connected to my computer, and I am about to pick up an Xbox and get on Xbox Live and stuff. So what do I need, like a splitter or something from my cable modem so that I can run the cord to my Xbox, but also still have interweb on my computer. Also, it is just an ethernet cord used to connect the modem to the xbox correct? I am very much a n00b at this stuff, so sorry in advance.

You'll need a router or hub and 2 more ethernet cords.

Cool, thanks. What is the difference between a router and a hub, and would either be better?

I'm not sure if a hub would work, I know they are cheaper. Somebody more computer savvy will correct me if I'm wrong.
