Hooking up Xbox Live

[Vampyr]

Alright, I have another question:

Here is how my DSL is set up:

A phone cable runs into a black box, which has an ethernet cable running to my computer, and that box is in turn plugged into the electricity.

Is this box a router?

If so, couldn't I just buy another one of these, put a phone jack in my room, and get another ethernet cable and then hook it all up just like my computer is?

The reason I ask is because I want to spend as little money as possible, so I just want a cheap router.

That box is the DSL modem.

You could have the people who put it in install another one in your room. The reason I suggested a router is because if I had Comcast install another one, I believe they'd charge twice the money each month. Comcast actually has a networkiing service they provide where they'll put a router in now so you still only get charged for one modem. But they charge a lot for that too so if you can do it on your own you save a lot of money.

So I'd find out if your provider can install another one and also see how much that'll cost. Also, I'm sure Null and Jonbo can suggest some other router products that might be cheaper.
