my computer is upstairs and my 360 is in my basement, where i have a phone jack, so could i run something from my phone jack to my 360, maybe involving a router or modem ( i don't know). the wireless adapter doesn't work for me, and i can't run the ethernet cord from the back of the modem upstairs to the 360 downstairs which is 100 feet or more, so any suggestions?

CAT-5
CAT-6
Or Wireless.
The pairs of wires in a CAT-whatever are twisted in different ratios so data reaches point b at the same time.
This does not hold true for the phone lines,so I don't think it would work with a 100' IR drop.

The 360 has vehicle sensing on the ethernet port, so it is not important in case you have a crossover or a known ethernet. the project is going to be which you hook up with the cyber web making use of your USB rather of connecting to a router making use of an ethernet port. maximum modems that use USB basically enable a USB 'OR' ethernet connection so this provides to the complexity. you may hook up the 360 to stay nonetheless in case you like to maintain your connection as is. guidelines stick to. connect the 360 to your laptop by potential of making use of the ethernet cable you got. pass to community connections on your laptop and spotlight the two the lively USB connection and the ethernet connection. (The call of the USB connection can selection, even though it must be observed as nearby area connection a million or 2) With the two connections highlighted, good click and 'bridge conections'. After few seconds a sparkling connection observed as 'community bridge' will seem. Reboot your 360 and you're on line. Connection basically ought to be created as quickly as. terrific of success.

You need to somehow get your router (or xbox) in range of either other wirelessly or run a cat5 wire between the two. Personally if it was me I would be pulling a cat5 wire along the existing phone line and just replace it

you can't use a standard phone jack or even DSL without a DSL modem but you can try POE ( power over ethernet)
