because the modem is located downstairs...which has a 150ft cable running to the router in my room, which connects to my computer, xbox360, xbox, and PS2. it got annoying switching the cable when i wanted to play online... i've been searching and haven't gotten a clear answer. thanks anyways...
all i've found is disable the DHCP on the router in my room...i'm not sure if that will do it, but i'll give it a shot...
