very new to setting up a connecting on original xbox

Hi, im trying to connect to my original xbox hardrive through a ethernet cable

and load some games

im using windows 7 and then when turned on it says no internet connection on local area network for the xbox

do i have to fix that

or do i go ahead and figure out the host for xbmc...media center

i wouldn't know anything about setting up a connection

manually and can only follow details


im not trying to rush but i've been trying to do it and i know im not even close to doing that

thanks
