hmm... not sure...
If it did work, you would not be able to run your PC/X-box connected at the same time... you'd need a switch for that... That's technology I'm familiar with, but not sure whether X-box can be connected to the internet via a switch... It's the X-box bit I don't know much about.
To be honest, the way I'd go about it would be to buy a wireless adapter & connect one or other of your devices wirelessly.
That way you can put your modem where you like & don't have to worry about cables. You can also add more devices without worrying about running cables.

As I said, not sure about the X-Box part of this, but I'd be looking to use summat like this in place of your cable modem.

Just my 2p.

if your on cable modem (ie virgin) then you could attach a cable wireless router (one of these would do ya). n then get a wireless adaptor for your xbox and connect through that. you cant have 2 internet connections from your cable modem at once that is why ya need a router to share it up for ya
