Hi, I have a laptop with an LAN port(NIC) and a modded xbox with xecuter 2.2 pro. Do I need to have a high speed internet connection to connect or ftp into the xbox? What setup do you suggest? Thank you for all the help, much appreciated and a special thanks to daseamonkey for posting all the crucial info.
you don't need high speed internet to FTP the xbox (I'm lucky if I get a 19.2 Kbps connection (rural)) as long as you have an NIC. I found getting the setup config. for FTP to the Xbox to be the most difficult....finally figured it out with alot of reading and asking a couple questions
Hi Newton. I am also trying to FTP to my XBOX via the NIC port on my Laptop. If you manage to get it all working then could you post your solution here. I am having some problems so any help is appreciated. Check out this thread for more information: http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/44079
Honestly, the best way to do this is using a router/switch with DHCP, that way you get all your ip addresses assigned automatically. Although, if you have to, you could setup a static connection to your xbox using a crossover cable (a flipped straight-through), and changing your computer's ip protocol setting under the network control panel as you needed to, with whichever address you needed to give it. I would strongly reccommend connecting through a linksys router/switch, because then it's essentially plug-'n-play, but if you have to do it statically, good luck.
good point Netscanur....I did it the hard way, and trust me do it the way he is sayin' and save yourself the migraines!!
