What you have there is a switch as opposed to a router or a hub. I found this in the manual:
Connectivity Testing In the following procedure, you will test each port for a valid connection and to confirm the correct operation of the network. 1. Start with Ports 1 and 2. Connect these two ports of a single switch to two nodes or workstations and turn on the switch power. 2. Wait approximately 1-3 seconds for the auto-negotiation process to complete after power-on or after the cables are reconnected. 3. Make sure the Link/Activity and other LEDs of both switch ports are lit. 4. After confirming that Port 1 and Port 2 are operational, reconnect one of the nodes/workstations to another port, then repeat this connectivity test with the switch’s remaining ports. Continue to verify the connection in each port by checking the Link/Activity and other activity LEDs. Note Use Port 8 MDI-X connected to a workstation. Use Port 8 MDI connected to a hub. Use only one Port 8 at a time. You can download the manual in .pdf (Adobe) here -------------------- **** We use our powers for good, not evil **** When the only tool you own is a hammer, every problem begins to resemble a nail.

When you say it doesn't work do you mean it doesn't work at all? Take a look at this from DSL reports that talks about a firmware upgrade to make the Linksys compatable with XBox.

When you post back with the XBOX working let us know what the fix was so other people may benefit from knowing. Thanx.
