No. You need to connect the ethernet cable to a modem or router. You can disconnect the PC ethernet cable from the modem and connect an ethernet cable from the Xbox 360 to the modem until you purchase a router.

Can you connect your ps3 directly with your internet cable i dont have a modem nor router only internet cable can i still connect with that?

No. The PS3 can only have a wired connection with an ethernet cable. The only other connection that is possible is WiFi. The PS3 can only connect to the internet with WiFi or ethernet cable no other type connection is possible. You can not use the HDMI or USB port to connect the PS3 to the internet. I do not believe a router can be connected to the internet cable without a modem or that you can have cable internet without a modem


Can you get internet using a USB cable?

USB stands for Universal Serial Bus... If you meant to ask if you can use your USB port to somehow connect to the internet, then yes. You can get a USB wireless (Wifi) adapter if you have a wireless network (or wireless router, connect to a high-speed internet connection like Cable, DSL, etc...) If you do not have, or don't want a wireless network but would still like to connect to the internet through Ethernet, but don't have an Ethernet network card on your computer, you can use a USB Ethernet adapter.

What do switches do in the home network?

You can use a switch to connect different pieces of equipment. For example, a standard ADSL router only has a port for a single Ethernet cable. If you want to connect 2 or more computers to the Internet, you can use a switch. In this case, the ADSL router and each computer connect to the switch, via a standard Ethernet cable.If you don't have an Internet connection, you can still set up a home network to share files, etc. To connect only 2 computers, you can connect them directly via a crossover cable. To connect more than 2 computers, better use a switch.You can use a switch to connect different pieces of equipment. For example, a standard ADSL router only has a port for a single Ethernet cable.

Can the ps3 since the comcast is wired internet do you have do you have to connect PS3 with the Ethernet cable to the comcast modem or you can get wirelees internet for the PS3?

You have to have a router to connect more than 1 item with Comcast Internet unless you also got the wireless router from Comcast. You can either go out and purchase a router either wireless, both, or Ethernet. I purchased a wireless router and then decided I liked the wired system better and purchased an Ethernet cable to hook up the PlayStation 3 because I saw that the router also had 4 Ethernet plugs in back. So you still need to purchase a router even though you have Internet access with Comcast.

Must you use a hub to connect 2 pcs?

Yes and no. If you want to just directly connect the two pc's together a cross-over Ethernet cable can do this. Cross-over cables are used to connect 2 like devices. Doing this will most likely require you to disconnect from the internet, unless your computer has 2 NIC's (ethernet ports) If you want to connect both computers together AND still have internet access a hub, or switch, or router is needed. Thus creating your own LAN

You need to purchase broadband internet service and the network connection devices. The router does not have to be wireless because you can also connect with a ethernet cable from the PS3 to a router


Is 1 GbE Ethernet really Ethernet Explain?

Yes; Ethernet is really not a single technology, but a family of technologies.
