setting up wired network

hi all, now iv decided to go back from wireless on my home computer and xbox to wired due to being fed up with download speeds being crap and having the internet constantly drop out.

i received my ethernet hub thing today, which has one wire running to the wireless d-link modem i use. this modem is the one i am currently connected to through my wireless laptop so i know the internets working.

however when i connected my pc and xbox to the hub, the xbox worked straight away, for about 5 mins, and when trying to set up a network on the pc, the xbox disconnected and now wont connect back up. my pc is telling me limited access blah blah blah, can anyone help as this is really getting a little annoying now seeing as iv been at it since 7am.

Okay, lets start from the top...

 

Internet -> dlink modem -> ethernet hub, right?

 

What model number ethernet hub have you got? Have you checked that you are getting a link light from the modem to the hub? Do you for instance have a crossover wire running between to the two?

from following a video on youtube of some really really big american guy iv now got the pc to work on the hub, amazingly faster then my old wireless, this was done just from swapping from the up-link port to port 5, which i found strange that he suggested that but amazingly it works. just the xbox now that isnt.
