Just buy a Linksys router or one of those LAN kits places like EB or Best Buy sells. For a router, hook up each Xbox to the router using CAT5 cables.

what are the factors that will cause the game play to lag if i am connect more than 2 xbox within my LAN?

Nothing really if the Xboxes are all local. If, however, you go on to XBConnect to play online, and if your PC is connected to the router, its best to not be downloading any headers

is xbox live needed for the connectivity to work?
what actually is xbox life? only a hardware?

this should prolly be asked in the "NEWBIE FORUM"!

No, Xbox Live is not needed for games to be played via system link.

Xbox Live (not Life) is just software on your Xbox that allows you to sign onto the Live servers.

you don't necessarily need a router....... all you need is either a small switch or hub. a 4 port router will have a built in 4 port switch, but you don't necessarily need the routing features. it all depends on what you're wanting to do. but if you just want to hook like 4 xboxes together all you need is a 4 port hub and some ethernet cables.

THANKS, thats what i need most.
so i guess i just need to configure the settings on each xbox which are connected to the hub.
will the game play encounter any lag? so when do i need a router, for online purposes?

yes it is able 2 be done. i tryed it with a few m8s its cool remeber the tv's if u wana play them.

abt the configurations, what am i suppose to do to my xbox settings? can i use xbox live to configure or i have to install evox into my xbox hdd?
cause currently, my pc is connected to my xbox and the xbox responded when i ping it. but i can't find the xbox drive on my pc.. please guide me. thanks
