    You need a crossover cable (not a standard one) and an ethernet card. Once that is in, you have to configure the network settings on your ethernet card and XBOX, and then use a program such as FlashFXP to transfer between your PC and XBOX.

    xbox-scene.com as mentioned is your best friend.

    Mark-

    An ethernet card is the card that is more than likely already in your computer. It is the card that has the connector for your DSL or Cable internet connection. If you have a router then you will be able to use a regular ethernet cable. However, if you are directly connecting to your computer then you will need a crossover cable. A crossover cable allows you to directly FTP the Xbox to your computer. Where as you will need a router if you're just using a regular ethernet cable. PM me if you need help.

    Aaron-

    A crossover cable is just needed if you don't have a router and are connecting directly to your computer. Personally, I would rather spend the money on a cheap Dlink router because that way at least I can surf and FTP at the same time. Don't change a thing.
