I was talking about the xbox's connection to the xbl servers... It would make sense if they [used ipv6 they would] tunnel a ipv6 connection from your dialup/broadband address to the xbl servers, and get a local ipv6 address set up to route information back and forth.

It depends on the developer... most the OS is on the game disc and is based modularly (like NT) around a primitive DX8 based OS. Developers are allowed to put as much or as little in the Xbox. As far as I know the actual hardware itself makes no demands for one or the other. DC used IPv4 FYI.

Yes. First three sets of numbers must be kept.Originally posted by Rich
To touch up on that, the router will give you a new IP adress. In the case of my router, it was 192.168.0.X So, when inputting an IP for whatever system your using, make it easy and input the IP 192.168.0.x+1(X-1)
It's not necessary, but it does make it easy. All though I think you may need to keep the first 3 numbers...Just get a router and come back for specific instructions, will be so much easier then...
Quite frankly, all three broadband adapters support DHCP. Just use that....

New question! What's the difference between Cat-5 and Cat-6 Cables. I ask this because apparantly my dad has spools of both.

Cat5 and Cat5e run at 100 MHz. This is enough to support gigabit (1000mbps) speeds. At present, this is all you should need, especially in something as small-scale as a home network.
Cat6 is the next step up -- it runs at 200 MHz, so it can handle double the data Cat5 can. It works well with Cat5/e, so you can definately run it with Cat5 cable in the same network. However, if you anticipate doing anything beyond gigabit speeds, you will want to run Cat6 exclusively. It's mainly for really really fast things like ATM connections right now, so any home use would be overkill.
Alright, and both are acceptable for xbox hookups I'm presuming.
MORAL VICTORY!
Unless you have a switch to a large scale gigabit darkfiber network in your house.... or sitting next to you.

Alright guys, I'm up and running with my consoles, but my friend is running into a new problem. He has millenium cable, and a netgear router. His computer has NO problem getting online, but the xbox gets no love. He's done a direct connect from the cable modem to the box, and from the modem, to the router to the box and still cant get it to connect. Any ideas?
