Thread: Ethernet splitter problems.

On my machine there is one PCL slot, so I purchased an Ethernet splitter, to attach my Xbox wire and my Ethernet wire to the computer. Wire goes from my router to the first port of the Ethernet splitter, whereas the Xbox wire goes to the second port.

But the problem is my computer only chooses up only one wire, which is the one attached to my router so I can access the internet easily.

But I cannot access Xbox live, could anyone tell me what I am doing wrong.

You cannot divide a network cable like that. You require doing it with somewhat that has the appropriate circuitry, like a hub, or a router. That splitter would only work if only one device were on at a time. Turn off the PC and use the X-Box, or turn off the X-Box and use the computer.
