crossover cable is a normal ethernet with two of the wires inside essentially swapped terminals.
no idea if it will work, you could make your own if you have an normal cable, a crimping tool and some new plugs, or they should be cheap enough to buy if you can find somewhere that still sells them.
or go to your local maplin and ask them to make you one up (might need to take a wiring diagram off google as I wouldn't trust them to know what it is!)

Yeah you probably could use a crossover but you would need to nic cards in your pc and im thinking your pc would have to do DHCP or you assign a manual IP to the xbox. the big question is why not straight to the router
