Alternate method of transferring files to Xbox

[tech3475]

It gives the Xbox an IP yes.
No crossover needed, any patchcable can do it.

Presumably your computer supported auto-MDIX.

edit:

I've read it should be standard on gigabit ethernet devices.

I have a bunch of Cisco routers, some usb ethernet adapters and some old laptops which don't (but they're all 10/100).

If TC is out to get a laptop, just make sure it's either gigabit ethernet or supports auto-mdix and you should be fine.
