Lee, Perhaps easier method would be to find one of the older hubs that had both a cable and cat 5 connectors. (Usually found in the "junk" stores and swap meets for around 5 bucks to a dollar US.) Then hook the coax cable up to, then plug in the Xbox to it with a short cat 5. They usually only operate at 10mbs and they are passive hubs. But it does work.. (I've done it before.)
