How to Link an Xbox 360 With an Ethernet Cord

The Xbox 360 is a video game system that allows you to play games in both single-player and multiplayer modes. The multiplayer modes offered through the Xbox 360 can be played both online through the Internet and the Xbox Live gaming service, or through system link play. System link play is the process of connecting multiple Xbox 360s with the use of a Ethernet cord for local area network (LAN) play. Refer to your game's instructional manual to make sure it supports system link gameplay.
