Multiple Xbox's/LAN (1 Viewer)

Help!! I currently have one Xbox which is running Live and connected to a router. Tonight (sorry about the short notice), I have convinced two of my friends to bring over their TV's and Xboxes so we can have some 12 player Xbox action. Here is my question:

How do I hook these up?? Can I plug network cables from the Xboxes into my router, or do I need to do something else?

Thanks for any help!!

just plug them into your router

Thanks for the quick reply!!

Will I have to do any (re)configuring?

Nope, each Xbox will just do DHCP and get a separate IP. I've done this before and it works great.

You don't even need a router, just a good 'ol hub or a crossed ethernet cable to link 2 xboxes together. Halo Rocks on LAN.

Thanks for all the info!
Everything worked perfectly, other than we ended up playing WAY longer than we should have (getting to work was a little rough this morning). Halo is just too much fun with 12 people
