My boys currently connect to BB via Samsung STB ethernet connection.
Just received the Xbox 360 & want to connect them to Live.
I have a wireless Belkin 4 port router that I used on NTL BB via a modem dead easy to setup. It is free at the moment as I'm between house moves.
I'm going to wire PC & Xbox to the router.
With STB will I have to register the routers MAC Address using PID/Password?
As this will be recognised as a new address.
or do I have to port the PC ethernet card MAC.
Router will obviously assign local IP for PC & Xbox via DHCP

Help appreciated on both methods.
Prefer the first option.
