Answer 1

The xbox and the computer are both connected to LAN ports on the router? The computer works fine even with all network settings set to automatic?

What router do you have? What's the model number/name?

Edit: Are the Xbox and the computer both connected to the router's LAN ports? Is the modem connected to the router's Internet port? Do you know how to get into the router's configuration? Is DHCP on? (Don't turn it on if it's off just yet.)
