FTP/ Networking Question??? Ask Here...

Okay, I will try that when I get home. I also have some personal folders shared - such as "Videos".

BUT that "Videos" folder is sitting inside of my folder "Mike" which is another user on the computer. Should I have my shared folders sitting outside of the users folders..? Perhaps...

 

Not sure, just start fresh!

 

I got it working! I used ccXstream. I so feel like I cheated. But hey - it's working, I guess I can't complain. Just wish I didn't have to start ccXstream every time I wanted to use XBMC ...

Thanks for all your help chunkhead.

 

I'd still be looking into what is causing your problem. It'll be something simple, nobody else is having issues!

 

Ok i share internet with a roommate through a router to my pc. I have 2 NIC cards in my system. One is for the internet and the other is for the xbox.
The xbox is connected with a crossover cable. I can ftp and stream video thru the crossover cable with no problems. I cannot get internet to work for me.
Im not sure the proper steps in my configuration.

The Dlink card is my xbox

 

You can get the ethernet card with the internet connection to share it's internet. Try the solution I posted in page 5...

 

Oh man this is so sweet.. thanks so much. I got internet working, but have some how lost my ability to ftp into my xbox. Im not sure where to look for the proper IP address.. I can still stream back to the xbox from the PC but not ftp. hmmmmm

 

cancel! Figured it out!! thanks again though

 

Always a pleasure...

 

Ok Chunk, I need to pick your incredibly large brain again.

I have gotten my home network setup using my LinkSys router, (1) XP Pro PC, and an Xbox. All see each other and watching movies/ftp between them is OK.

I am adding a Win2k machine to the network via straightthru cable to the router. The 2k machine does have internet via the router.

I understand the XP Network setup disk will not work with 2k so I have basically cloned all the network settings by setting them all up on WORKGROUP and I wente into the 2k IP settings and created an IP address 1 digit off of the IPs I am using for the XP machine and the Xbox.

LinkSys Router - 192.168.2.1
XP - 192.168.2.2
Xbox - 192.168.2.3
2k - 192.168.2.4

I can ping the 2k machine from the XP machine but not Xp from the 2k machine. They also cannot find each other through Network Neighborhood -> Search for Computers.

What obvious step am I missing?

Thanks up front Chunk.

 

2k uses an almost identical engine to XP.

Have you got any firewalls setup? Make sure Windows firewall is off (pointless anyway) and you have disables 'Simple File Sharing'

I'd also ensure that the router is aware of all the static connections.

 

ok so today i read that theres a way to be able to play your music and videos from your computer on your xbox, and i figured i would do this to save some space on my xbox. all day now ive been trying to do this but since i have very little knowledge of computers its been pretty difficult. i know it has something to do with the workgroup (smb) network option in the video and music section but im not sure how to set it up. i read that when you click on that your supposed to see somethings there but for me there is nothing. any help in getting this set up is greatly appreciated. if theres any other information you need to know just let me know and ill get it for you.

 

ahhh..i get this error whenever i try to ftp my xbox (listed below), my xbox is connected through a router, im using FlashFXP.
Help would be appreciated.

@ xchasmx

You need to setup share folders on your PC first! There is a whole section on this in the first page!

@ Riamage

I need a bit more information! I'm assuming you've followed the guide on page one, and that you are using a modded Xbox with a modded dash (EvoX, UnleashX, XBMC, etc).

Is your home network also on the 192.168.0.x network? Both the network that you are connecting from and the Xbox need to be on the same network (IP range and subnet).

eg.

Your PC is 192.168.0.3

Your Router is 192.168.0.5

Your Xbox must be on the 192.168.0.x network also, and it also must have a different number to all the other devices connected!

They will all have the Subnet mask of 255.255.255.0

 

I did follow the guide, actually quite a few of them
Yes both Modded XBox and PC are on the 192.168.0 line

 

Can you test the setup without the router? Start with minimal hardware and troubleshoot from there!

 

yeah i read all of that but when i click on the sharing tab its different then in the pictures.

hmm i dont think i saw the thing about win xp when i first read it. what is that and is it necessary to do this.

 

Win XP!?

What operating system are you running? Win 98?

 

yeah i realized what it was right after i wrote that but still those menus you showed are different than what i had.


am i gonna get any help or what?

 

Yeah, but I'm not a mind reader!

What operating system are you running?
