Ok here's the deal:

Right now I have two NIC cards in my computer. One is going to my router -> modem -> wall, and the other goes to XBOX. The one going to the router is using a standard RJ-45 cable and the one going to my XBOX is using a Crossover RJ-45 Cable.

Now, I have my XBOX networked with my NIC with these settings:

1stNIC (Static, not DHCP):
IP: 192.168.0.101
Subnet: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.0.1

XBOX (Static, not DHCP):
IP: 192.168.0.102
Subnet: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.0.1

I can transfer files without a hitch.

I have my second NIC networked with my router with these settings:

2ndNIC (DHCP Enabled):
IP: 192.168.1.104
Subnet: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.1.1

Router (DHCP Enabled):
IP: 192.168.1.100
Subnet: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.1.1

Now my question:

How do I share the internet connection (DSL) with my XBOX? I have tried these settings with the XBOX and 1stNIC, but no luck:

1stNIC:
IP: 192.168.1.105
Subnet: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.1.1

XBOX:
IP: 192.168.1.106
Subnet: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.1.1

I have internet connection sharing enabled and the firewall turned off.

If there are any network gurus out there, please chime in.

Thanks
 
Then how does XBOX get internet for XBOX Live?

I would assume hooking it straight up to a router, but is that the only way an XBOX can get an internet connection?

Thanks
 
Yeah, why don't you just hook your xbox up to the router? You can still transfer files to the xbox through it.
 
The router is all the way across the house. I have tried it, yes it works, but cannot use that option currently.

Any other help?
 
pick up a cheap hub or switch and run the Rj45 cable from the wall to it, then two cables from the hub or switch, one to the pc and one to the xbox. should work fine I would think.
