I just finished installing the killtrocity version 2 map pack on three of my friends X-boxs. Guess what. My 360 ethernet cord dosen't work for x-box to x-box connection, but it does work for x-box 360 to x-box connection. Is their a way to get it to work.

just buy new ethernet cables at best buy and ask if they work with xbox system link

Get a router, plug two xboxes into it using ethernet cables. RJ45 Patch cables to be exact. The internet doesn't need to be plugged in, and it will still work.

To get more specifig then -DeToX-, you want a Cat5 or Cat5e straight-through cable if you are using a router. I'd look at your school and talk to the network admin. I know that at the school I went to before the admin would make cables for 10cents a foot. Can't beat that price. Now, if you want to connect two Xboxes together, you need a Cat5 or Cat5e crossover cable.

The reason that the 360 will work with the cable (which is a straight-through) is because it has what's called a "smart NIC", which is a network card that can use any kind of cable for any kind of connection, because it tries different signals until it gets one that works.

use a crossover cable

To tell the difference between a normal cable(RJ-45) and a crossover cable. Get both heads(the two ends) and if the colours on it are in the exact same order its an RJ-45. If the colours are different or swapped araound abit its a crossover cable.

Could I get someone to tell me if this is right seeing as though I just heard it from somewhere. Thx.

A cross over cable will connect 2 xbox's directly.

but if you are connecting more than 2 use a router, or a Ethernet hub. and get Cat5 cables and link them from the xbox's to the router or Hub. this will also work for connecting 2 xbox's directly
