Hi guys,

Just wondering we are going to network 2 xboxs together via a hub and wondered will this work the same as per having the MS link cable that they flog.

Just want to do project gotham racing networked (Be a top laff after a few beers), and better than having split screen.

Cheers

Dan

Yep. All you need is a cross over cat-5 patch cable. No hub required for just 2 boxes

Yeah, it's surprisingly easy.

I first used a small hub with some patch leads, then tried it with a straight cross-over cable.

You need to go into the Multiplayer settings, then just select a Link game (or whatever PGR displays).

We had Halo running on a home network with 3 boxes (seperate TV's).
