Or if you'd rather save wasting money, all you need are CAT5 ethernet cables and a hub. If you are only connecting two XBox's, you only need a single crossover ethernet cable.

But if you have no clue about networking or can't be bothered finding them, then the kit will do.

You don't use any application. Most games have a system link option for multiplayer.
