ah, gotcha.
i'm behind a router right now, so the actual diagram should look like ...
[pc] -----> [router 1(filled w/4 connections)] -----> [internet]
i'm just trying to avoid:
[pc] -----> [router 2] -----> [router 1(filled w/4 connections)] -----> internet
[xbox] ---> [router 2]
i could get a router with more ports, but i'm a cheap ass and don't want to spend more than $10 to hook up 1 more device.
