A member of the forum requested a guide as to how to connect his XBOX to his PC. He made mention of HSIA (high speed internet access) so I think he wants to connect his PC, XBOX to the same broadband connection.
Below are 2 guides

At the end of the day its about networking these 2 machines and having them share a common internet connection. To prevent complications I advise you purchase a switch (a networking device which acts as a common point for each device) which costs <$200 for an 8port 100mbit. Connect every device into the switch (router, xbox, pc) and you will be good to go.
IF you get DSL via a modem things get a bit more complicated but nothing we can't help you with.
