networking and that kinda or stuff is not really my thing,

but i was wondering is there is someway that i could connect my 2 xbox's to a hub or something so that i could ftp from pc to either one i select and play multi player games with each other and also get the weather and music streaming from the internet for the 2 xbox's,
what would i need a hub?switch or router?

please help me out, thanks

switch (or hub but i would recommend a switch cuz they're cheap) if you just want to network the 3 devices. throw a router in if you want to provide internet access for all 3 devices (and you can buy a router with 4 port switch as they are available all over).

so if i get a router with 4 port switch, like one of these that should do it, i won't need anything else? so this is the all in one solution?

either one should be fine. you can configure static ip addresses, or use dhcp (i assume those routers will act as dhcp servers). once your devices have ip addresses, they are on the network. what you do from there is up to you. ftp, rss feeds, etc.
