hi guys for my bday i plan to do this lan party thing i guess what ever you guys call it and what i'm going to do is have 4v4 but the hard bit is how i'm going to system link them.

Now this is how is going to be set out the two teams will me seprated in the lounge a 46" full hd samsung running of one of my friends xbox 360 (4 way split screen) and in my room a 32" Samsung running my xbox 360 (2way split screen) and my mates bringing two more xbox 360 and 2 small tv's (don't ask me why that what they want to do)

I have heard this will work my mate has a 15meter ethernet cable and i have 3 other ethernet cables the question is can i get them to all system link through my router its a dlink wireless router model: DSL-G604T

If this works it will be awesome my friend did it at his place a while back with two xbox 360's but he had tiny like 20" screens so 4 people were crowed aroud this tiny screen it was like trying to play halo 3 on a ipod touch or something

a standard 10/100Mbps switch will work fine......or just plug all the Xboxes to your home network...one Xbox will host a game and the other ones will join thru multiplayer/system link option

should work fine, all you need to do is plug em into either a switch or a router, either should be find, just something that connects all the xbox's together (not tape or glue tho ).

LOL TAPE AND GLUE WHAT A GREAT IDEA I WANT TO TRY IT LOL
O MAYBE SOME GUM OR MELT THE CABLES ENDS TOGETHER LOL

yup.

Only if you want access to Xbox LIVE on the consoles. If not then you can just leave it unplugged.

It's an ethernet cable, not phone line.

A little off-topic, but nostalgic none the less. We used to hook up 4 xbox + 4 TV's when I lived in a dorm with the original halo. It was EPIC! Had no problem getting 16 players on the go and if someone wanted to tap out, there was always someone waiting to grab their controller.

On topic. What everyone else said. Plug them into your router and you're good to go. On a bit of a side note, if you use a cross over cable instead of a straight cable you can hook two xboxs up directly without the need of a router/hub.

OP has a DSL modem/router combo so there is a phone line jack on the back.
