I was planing to get verizon dsl (17.99) and i talked to a employee about getting a long ethernet cord (i think its this cord)and conecting it to the modem into the xbox with out spending money on a router etc.. He said it wont work like that and i need a router. Is this true or do i need a router? Does anyone have verizon dsl and play xbox live? 1 more question, how do i reply back on this after i post it if some one asked a question? Thanks
