crosso over cable

I have the qoob pro chip and was wanting to know if you have to use a router or will a cross over cable let you connect to the game cube?

 

Crossover is the best choice. Router is if you don't have any crossovers handy.

 

whenever i try to connect with crossover ( using internet explorer) i get an error saying that the web page is unavailable off line.

 

Have you tried any ftp (file transfer procotol) programs like flashfxp?

 

yeah i tried flash fxp and it will connect but but nothing shows up on the cube side of the screen.

 

Ummmmmm can you give your gamecube a ip address? i dont have the modchip you have so i dont know. But if you can give gamecube a ip address (give it 192.168.0.3) then edit your local connections in control panel>network connections. left click local connections and go to properties then go to internet protocol, then click properties again. Dont worry about the other stuff like dns all you need is to give it a ip adress by click use following ip address (give it 192.168.0.4, yes its got to be different from your gc one or it will conflict) and subnet mask (thats always 255.255.255.0)

Remember when you try to ftp to your gamecube you got to enable the local connection (right click enable) and disable when you finished as it will pop up saying area connection disconnnected or something like that.
