    Do you know your Xbox's IP address? If you're using Evox Dash it should tell you the IP of your Xbox (you might wanna change the Evox skins around). Then using Cat5 cable and connect your Xbox to your router, and another Cat5 from PC to router. Open FlashFXP, on the popup connection screen, enter your Xbox's IP address in the "Server or URL" box, Port = 21, username and password are both = xbox. If that still doesn't solve your problem, check your cables.

    Check your cables, they may be broken. 2kb/s is not right, my average speed is 3.5mb/s.

    Hi folks

    the speed varies a bit, depending on your Harddisk, and connection.. i do have about 5.5 to 6 mb a second copying to my xbox, and 11 to 16 mb per second from my xbox to my pc.. And my switch and pc runs on 100 mbit..

    Best regards

    if you're having speed problems try connecting your xbox directly to your PC with an xbox link cable (which is just a cross-over cable). Set your network connection on your PC to a specific IP like 192.168.0.1, and your xbox to 192.168.0.3 Your xbox must be set to use static IP for this to work. If its still slow then at least you know its not your router. However a faulty IDE cable in your xbox could be causing a slowdown. I've had that happen once. big headeache, but once I figured it out, cheap and easy to fix.
    Good Luck
    -Dave.

    I've just had a worse problem than you guys have had so far!

    First of all trying to connect the XBOX to Flash FXP was a problem to start with, until I put the right IP addresses in.
    Then as I was trying to transfer some video's onto my XB Media player, the hard drive was just silently grinding away like it was doing some work, but nothing seemed to be happening at all. Then bloody Norton 2005 came up with some stupid worm message. In the log it said:

    Details: Rule "Default Block Bla Trojan horse" blocked communication. Local address: All local network adapters (1042). Process name is "C:\Program Files\FlashFXP\flashfxp.exe"

    Flash FXP = Trojan?! WTF. I downloaded this off the official site. Note that I also wasn't connected to the internet. I'm sure Norton was trying to block any transfer communications.

    So from time to time it kept trying to block Flash FXP's doings. So I decided to go into Safe Mode with Networking, so Norton doesn't run at startup. Somehow FlashFXP didn't like Safe Mode too much and the browser didn't work, so no directory lists on either side although the XBOX did connect up.

    Going back into normal mode again, I realised I can turn off Norton's worm protection, but too late! Entered Flash FXP, connected up to the XBOX, logged in, but no directory list. Moments later I get List Error, and since then it's been happening all the time.

    Things I've tried:

    Rebooting the XBOX
    Un-installing Flash FXP and Re-installing.

    Everything on my XBOX still works fine, it just's connects without the damn list!

    I think Safe Mode with Networking totally messed up my Network or Flash FXP settings. Anything in the registry settings I should change? Like in Flash FXP you have a 30 day limit trial, but if you un-install and re-install, the trial period continues.

    What's wrong?! Any help would be really appreciated!

    I've got until Xmas Eve to transfer these vids for my family to watch, if I'm really screwed, does anyone know a really good XBOX ISO maker that doesn't corrupt half the files after burning?

    EDIT: Don't worry, I found using Webdrive is a much better alternative and it works just like Explorer. Transfering works too even with Norton's worm protection. Big thumbs up to this piece of kit!

    Hi folks.
    I am not sure what to tell in these cases.. But as a beginning, you have to have the correct IP-Adress, port 21, and userid: XBOX, and Password: XBOX, (small or capital letters, i am really not sure)
    If you have some Antivirus or firewall turned on, on your Pc, turn it of..
    It should work this way.
    Let me know how it goes

    I use a second NIC and go in static. My NIC is a gigabit card and I use a crosswire....so there is no bottleneck anywhere. My transfer averaghes are about 9,000-13,000Kb per second. Anyways,if you are having such problems transfering files,why don't you go out and spend a couple bucks on another NIC and crosswire cable and then all you would have to do is make sure that your firewall lets that card have full rights. I'm not saying get rid of the router,that's good to have for online stuff like gaming....but for transfering...you can't beat full duplex.
