hey guys my friends and I have been trying to figure out how to lan to 360's together. We tried the obvious way of putting your regulation ethernet cable into the back of both of the 360's but it didn't work. The game that we were trying to do a system link with was Gears of War and when one of us hosts a match the other can't get onto it ... please respond I'm desperate!!!

you need to use a crossover cable if you going from 360 straight to another 360. if you have a router than use a standard eithernet cable. if you dont have a crossover cable you can modify the standard eithernet cable, just google it up and it will tell what wires to to cut and cross over.

I mean that the cable's pins are all correct but it still says that there are no matches available when I tell my friend on his other xbox 360 to join the match that I'm hosting....

You don't need a crossover cable for the 360.
This is from Xbox.com;
"Unlike the original Xbox video game system, Xbox 360 does not require a special crossover Ethernet cable."
"To connect your console to another console:
1. Make sure both Xbox 360 consoles are off.
2. Connect the ends of a single Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port on the back of each Xbox 360 console.
Note
To connect more than two consoles, you must use one Ethernet cable per console and one of the following: an Ethernet hub, a switch, or a router with one available port for each console.
3. Make sure each Xbox 360 console is connected to a separate TV or monitor.
4. To start playing, follow the game instructions for multiplayer gameplay."

ok we turned off both 360's then connected the Ethernet cable to the back of both systems. one person went to host a match and when the match was setup the other person went to join a match and then it said that no matches were found

Have you configured your network settings on both of the machines? If you dont then they will never be able to talk to each other.
Go to the network settings and turn off DHCP and configure it manually to be....
XBOX360 A
IP Address: 10.0.0.1
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: 10.0.0.1
XBOX360 B
IP Address: 10.0.0.2
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: 10.0.0.1

Hi, No that will be a normal cable. If you want to use that you will need to plug both 360's into a switch or router.

you just plug in any RJ45 connector cable and you should be good to go. it should be easy like that.

I figured the problem out. Make sure that both the Xbox 360's have the updates from Xbox Live. If they don't, the matches won't show up.
