O.P. Split Ethernet Cable without Router
Is there a way that i can split the cable that comes out of the socket in my wall into two cables, like a splitter, i found one the other day that said "Telstra Verified", so i dunno if that will work if your not on telstra or what?? I want it so that i can plug Xbox 360 and computer into the internet, without having to worry about my pc rebooting.

It should work on all ethernet cables. And a standered splitter will do the job.

Depends pretty much of how many IP addresses is your ISP assigning you (most likely one).

In that case you will need a router or another nat device.

I think i forgot to mention one thing, that we already have a router running in the computer room, and my connection comes from that, does this still effect it?

Why not just get another ethernet cable and connect it directly up to the 360?

Then I would suggest you get a switch, put the cable from the router into it and another 2 cables, 1 for your computer and the other one for your x360. Splitters don't allow you to connect two devices to the same network, it doesn't work like a telephone.

So, you have a router, next to the computer, and your computer is connected to the XBox as a bridge...?

Can't you just connect the router to the XBox, or do you mean you have a modem, totally different thing.

You won't be able to plug the 360 straight into the wall socket, even with a "splitter" as ADSL is not Ethernet (cable might be - never used it, doubt it though).
