Okay so this is the setup. I have me and my roomates on router hidden somewhere in the apartment complex thats providing our internet. Then I have another network card in my computer that goes to a router which bridges off to my xbox. I want to know if three things are possible. First is, is there a way to allow my xbox to connect to the internet through my computer with the current setup i have and in addition to that is there a way i can ftp to my xbox with the current setup and lastly is there a way the xbox can gain access to my roomates' computers with this setup

Thank you, I have included a picture to help yall get a better visual.post-23288-1118355085_thumb.jpg

And the reason it is set up like this is because Me and one of my roomates was getting our internet from a cable modem because it was faster but we stopped it. So before I was able to connect to the internet with my xbox and FTP to it. And i left the cable going into the wall for my apt's router so i could send stuff to my other roomate.

If your roommates connect through the switch too I can see no problems with trying to access their computers. The setup should be pretty much the same as before. You could also use the router in uplink mode if it supports it instead of buying a switch. Again, config should be the same as before.

yea dave your right it would be one more wire but we'd definitely notice, we constantly download stuff and we all play world of warcraft so i think it would probably make a difference

jus1haz2 i'm not sure what you mean by i could do it before. and i'll see if i can put my router in client mode to see if that'll make any difference
