Wondered if it was better placed in the computer games section.

I've done this before with no problems. I think i used DHCP for both. NAT is what does the magic, it watches internal network addresses and the external ports/addresses they are trying to access, it doesnt matter that 2 machines are connecting to the same external IP (xbox live) as their inbound port is remapped (so the external IP can have 2 connections to your external IP) and the router will then route the traffic to the correct internal IP.

Using both live accounts at the same time?
and does it still work if, say were in a COD4 multiplayer, and both xboxs are in the game?
(my brother wants in on the COD4 action!)
Yup, 2 independant accounts, 2 xboxs. We could either join the same game or go off and play seperate ones.and does it still work if, say were in a COD4 multiplayer, and both xboxs are in the game?

Have you tried yourself already ?

Mines already setup, wired connection DHCP and its all fine. Brother is getting his Xbox tonight, so thought i would prep myself with some info.
Should be fine, as long as your both not on the same IP 
I had no connection problems or configuration headaches with mine.
