can't ftp xbox to pc

hey everybody, i'm new to the forum so hope i didn't mess up already.i been wanting to softmod my xbox i know u can use "mirc" and "flashfxp" but how do i do it if i can't connect the pc and xbox together? i use a linksys wireless g router but i just can't get it to work maybe some of u all can help. thanks

 

I have the same router as you... make sure you use a ethernet cable to connect to your xbox through the router or a crossover cable to connect directly (PC to Xbox) and when your softmod is installed, change your network settings from Static to DCHP... hope this helps

 

sorry for the delay i have tried it both ways and cand get it to connect.when i hook straight to the pc it says :wired connection connected" thanx for the reply

 

Here's somewhat of a tutorial I kept for reference when I was trying to figure this out:

UnleashX Dashboard

Network Enable=Yes Type=Static
ip: 192.168.0.3
subnet: 255.255.255.0
gateway>0.0.0.0
dns1: 0.0.0.0
dns2: 0.0.0.0
AutoDetect: Yes


Also make sure the FTP section in UnleashX is all enabled:
FTP Enable=Yes
User: xbox
Pass: xbox
Port: 21
MaxUsers: 2
AllowAnon: No


If you boot unleashx with these settings you can verify your Xbox has the correct IP either by looking on a skin that displays it or in settings it will display it in blue text up top. You can also look in the other dashes if you have an IP, if not right on the front screen (via whatever skin you have) then under a settings sub menu.
If you see No Link or No IP! Then either one of these settings is wrong, you don’t have it connected to your computer with the correct settings yet, or your crossover cable is bad.

Now on your computer go to the properties of the NIC that has a crossover cable connected to the Xbox. Click on the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and then properties. Enter the following:

IP Address: 192.168.0.2
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 0.0.0.0
DNS: 0.0.0.0


FLASHFXP Settings:
Click on "Site Manager" then click to create a new site.
Name it Xbox. For the IP enter 192.168.0.3 & verify the port is 21.
The username and password are both: xbox
If you are using one of the other dashes you can leave PASV checked. Apply the settings and connect.

 

Great instructions jchron
but im having one problem,
in Unleash X under settings and network it stil says

Current IP- No Link

using Flashfxp i it will connect, but i cant click in the window where the xbox files should be,(they dont appear) i cant still click anywhere else, but over that box my mouse turns to the hourglass.
also, my computer doesnt recognize that the network cable is plugged in, under my computers "Network connections" it still says "network cable unplugged"

any help would be appreciated

Are you using a crossover cable to connect your PC and your Xbox?

 

umm yes, its a CAT5e Crossover,

 

the full name on the box says

CAT5e crossover
computer-to-computer connection
Patch Cable
RJ45 Male

my internet is dail up if that makes a difference,

Thank you so much,

yeah im new here too and new with the soft mod dash and im using a wireless adaptor and cant use the router and i have a pelican hub that i got for lan parties and is there any way to connect with that?ive tried the uplink and regular spots for both xbox and pc and idk how to connect.any ideas or am i just screwed without a router or a crossover cable?

 

As far as I know, you can't use a wireless router... If you're trying to FTP your xbox you need a router and a crossover cable.
