Is this an internal device or is it a black box that plugs into the Xbox with an Xbox cable?

So this black box plugs into the xbox ethernet port instead of a wire to the hub?

If that's the case it may work, however I do not recommend that you try it on my word, I'm not an xbox expert.

The Xbox configuration is black box (if you'll forgive the pun). The included CD is not in a PC readable format, and the MN-740 lacks a Web-based configuration option. However, once it's been configured it seems to function normally no matter what kind of device it's connected to. The status light on the MN-740 that indicates the device link on the Ethernet port is labeled "Xbox", but I figured the device wouldn't really know or care what was on the other end of the cable. For example, after successfully using the MN-740 with the Xbox, I connected it to a PC Ethernet port and it worked there as well.

So... Set it up for your pc's configuration on the xbox then move it to the pc and you should be happening.

hope this helps
