Sorry folks, my bad, I forgot about boot floppies...
Using OS X and Macs so much, slipped my mind that the xboxgw software did say "boot floppy" and I thought, "hm, that's funny, now why would you need those." Duh.
Still, the point is for this coolio hack to work you need an XBox & ethernet equipped PC. More hardware, and that's kinda an expensive hub to run with your 45 watt P4, isn't it?

So what you're saying is that I have to use two boxes to play online games with an XBox? I think I'll wait until the Sony PS2 Networking kit (or better yet that much rumored Linux kit) is available...
Do the math. XBox + linux PC for online play is not a deal. $300 + time to set up your xboxgw software alone, assuming you already have yourself setup on a Linux box... wait, better yet, I'll get 2 XBoxes, install Linux on 1 of them and set it up as the gateway for the other... then M$ will lose twice the money!
