Xbox 360 connecting to cable modem problems

[HAKAN]

I am using Xbox 360 i want to play online games. I am using cable wireless modem that allows one device to connect to my pc. One friend advised me to connect the xbox via ethernet cable to the router and then the pc to the router and then set the modem to communicate with the router.

Is my friend right should i follow that procedure ?

Is your Modem gives you an address for the internet not a lan address ?

Connected the computer to the xbox via lan the lan controller on both your Xbox after that set up ip addresses on your computer in a range that allows them communicate using local services.

How your network should function :

Wired: Cable Modem-->Wireless Router + Switch (or Wireless Router-->Switch) then Port1 connected to your PC and Port2 connected to Xbox360.

Wireless: Cable Modem-->Wireless Router. Wired Port1 connected to PC and Xbox360 connect wireless.
