Just get a normal network cable, just make sure its a crossover cable though.

Can be bought from most computer shops. Some games shops like EB sell "xbox link cables", these are just short crossover cables that are overpriced, don't get em.

theyre called Cat5 Cables, you can get em at most computer stores, you can get them premade or not premade, generaly the cost per food of cat 5 unpremade is a dollar. the cost goes up when you buy it premade, but since you dont have a clue, get it premade.

i need to get some more, all the cables in this house are shit now, all the rj45 jacks no longer stay in because the lil clip that holds it in on EVER cable is broken off, they stay in, but its just plain sloppy. but then again were going with a wireless setup here soon.

I'd only go wireless if it's going to be a pain in the ass to run cable.
