Hi i checked on the cable you were looking at buying and im sure that will do the job if not a xbox link cable will also work and another cable you could try is a network cable either a ethernet or a crossover the ones i listed work 100% let me know how you get on good luck.

Oh, and I forgot to mention this...

If you are hooking up your Xbox directly to your PC, and NOT using a router, then you will need a CROSSOVER CABLE.

If you are going through a router, then you will need standard ethernet cable.

Using a crossover cable w/ a router will NOT work, just as using standard ethernet cable to hook up your Xbox to PC directly will NOT work either...
