Actually I read more into your post. Give me a few days to poke around and see some of the new cisco stuff. I've heard some interesting things about I think its the 2800 or new 2900 series where you can more easily have multinetworks on a single switch. That is nothing new to cisco stuff but I think they have some newer technology for handling the traffic. Let me see what I can dig up. I also have my old buddies from the place I use to work. They were gold Cisco Cert Partners that always had access to the really neat stuff.
Also just a quicky you can isolate the PC Network from the xbox network. It might be the way to go just to get it out of the way now. Just subnet the Network.
192.168.0.0
xboxsubnet------Switch-\ / WAN1
---------------------------- Router
PCsubnet--------Switch--/ \WAN2
192.168.1.0
If you go this route it will allow you 254 devices -1 if you IP the Switch itself and another -1 for the gateway on each side. Then you can bring them together on the router and if you need them to cross pc to xbox you just route them to each other. If you can get extra ram in the switch. RAM is your friend!
