ok i tryed everyones ftp instructions that i can find here on the forums useing the "crossover cable method" and not a single one will work. it seems to me, it just cant be done, without some kind of internet connection. every time i have tryed my pc tells me that local area connection is unpluged. so without a internet connection it cant be done. im useing a CAD 6 crossover cable. and ive used smart ftp, cute ftp, bulletproof ftp,cerebus ftp and a connection just cannot be made. im acctually thinking right now that a cad6 cable wont work. could it be possible?..please somebody help me
im assuming if your using a cross-over cable then your directly connecting to your pc...what homebrew dashboard are you using EvoX,UnleashedX. ect...? make sure everything is set to static and are you using FlashFXP seems to be the best my pc ip is 192.168.1.102 so my xbox ip is 192.168.1.103 just make sure everything is on the right connection trust me i thought it could not be done at one point in time to untill chunkhead kept telling me it can its just my settings were wrong follow chunk heads tutorial and then post what your settings are ok... link...http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/523607#3165659
well im useing the softmod kit called "krazie Ndure softmod pack" and when i installed it gave me 2 options for dashboards, evolution X or unleash X. i decided to use the unleash X, because i am new to this and it ws quite easy to do useing the splinter cell action replay method. and for my ftp setup on unleash X its type: ststic ip address:192.168.0.100 subnet mask:255.255.255.0 gateway:192.168.0.1 dns #1 192.168.0.1 dns #2 192.168.0.7 and for server url on smartftp i use 192.168.0.100 user name : xbox password : xbox port 21 then i click on connect and i get a message saying connection refused, will try again in 120 seconds..
First of all set your Dns to 0.0.0.0 both of them... Ok write down your ip settings for your xbox and your pc for me please

@ Norcross, you really are starting to get the swing of this... Good Stuff!!! @ stryker69 Your problem is exactly as Norcross suggested. Your PC and your Xbox are on different networks, you can't do that! Also, the PC IP Address that you posted is invalid. You can only have a home\internal network on a select number range... There are three blocks of private IP addresses: * 10.0.0.0 through 10.255.255.255 * 172.16.0.0 through 172.31.255.255 * 192.168.0.0 through 192.168.255.255 Have a look at my tutorials to learn how to change your PC address, but for simplicity, I'd just change the Xbox to match the PC current config! Press your "Windows button" and the "R" key at the same time, type 'cmd' and then type 'ipconfig /all'. That will give you the current IP address of your PC. Add one number to that and give it to the Xbox. You do not need DNS addresses.
sorry chunkhead, but youre tut did nothing for me i did it EXACTILLY as it is writen and nothing worked. could it be because im useing a cad6 cable instead of a rj-45 ?
Cat-6 is a cable type. It's just a higher spec cable with more twists. RJ-45 is the plastic connector at the end of the cable, both Cat-5 and Cat-6 use RJ-45. Show me the readouts of your config (ip addresses, etc.)
No, I've no idea where your getting that info from. Use the 'ipconfig /all' in cmd to get one of these...
thats what im doing, i go to start,run, cmd, ipconfig, and those numbers are what i get in ip config.
Hmm, that's just all wrong! Use my guide on how to set a static IP address for your PC. Use the addresses: PC = 192.168.0.2 Xbox = 192.168.0.3 Router\modem = 192.168.0.1 Subnet Mask for all three is 255.255.255.0
yes that is right because my isp COMCAST also told me it is. and youre guide still dont help me, sorry but its the truth. unles you have and know how to use "pc anywhere" thats the only way to help me.
Your ISP has nothing to do with your internal network settings! The address you gave me is the external IP address (Internet address). Did you use the 'ipconfig'???
yes i clicked start then run then typed cmd then a black box came up and i typed ipconfig and those numbers i showed you are what came up. sorry if i seem slow at all this, im tying to learn all i can so i can maybe help others like you do. and thanx for takeing youre time to help me as and when you can.
Ok... For the moment, we'll concentrate on getting you up and running! Which configuration are you running? They're about halfway down... http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/523607#3165659 Let's make: Xbox IP Address - 68.53.207.120 Subnet mask - 255.255.248.0 I'm still stumped as to why your LAN is subnetted and using internet addressing!
