Strange Internet connection issues...

[ChiCubs05]

i recently purchased xbox live for my new 360 needless to say i want to be able to access internet through my computer and xbox's at the same time. i have an internet line running from the main computer's netgear wireless G router to my personal one with a netgear 4 port hub. when i connect the line to my router, and to both xbox's i can access internet on the xbox's...but not my computer problem. it is not a cable problem, as i switched them, and when i plug the line running from the wireless router directly into my computer it works fine...

one weird thing was when i have the line plugged directly into my computer it always says a residential gateway is available. i dont know if that matters, if somebody could please help me it would be great, its annoying switching cables all around!

hum; what you write says it's wired like this:

modem--wirelessRouter--4portHub--system
                              +--xbox360

you can plug all devices directly to the wireless-G router without the need
for a hub

I think you're saying this works

modem--system

but this doesn't

modem--router--system

in which case, your router needs to ENABLE DHCP for both the IP and DNS addresses.

ok the problem is i have a 150 foot line running along the basement ceiling through the floor to my room supplying the internet to my 4 port switch. how do i enable DHCP? when connected to the router my xbox360 works fine just my computer wont. but when the computer is connected to the direct line from the basement it works fine...

Which Router are you using? The Router should already be in DHCP mode? Unless it's not?

Each router should have it enabled for DHCP will display something like this as picture will be vary?
