When i try to ping the ip of my xbox i get request timed out...im pretty sure the ip settings are correct...
First make sure that IF you have a firewall.Make a rule so ur xbox and have access to ur PC.Then Make sure the Sub Mask is on the same range. --------------- PC IP xxx.xxx.xxx.1 SUB 255.255.255.0 Xbox IP xxx.xxx.xxx.2 SUB 255.255.255.0 With that IT should work.What kind of setup are you using? Hub/Router -->XBOX or PC -->Xbox With the hub\router you can use a normal RJ-45 cable but with PC one YOu have to use a Cross-Over RJ-45 cable.
i dont have a firewall. and i am directly connected from the pc to the xbox.the pc is 192.168.0.1 and xbox is 192.168.0.93. i ping it and it doesnt work...on the settings screen of evolution x it sez their is a linx of 100 full duplex(if u were wondering)
It's a special kind of ethernet cable with cables that "Cross-over" in it. You can find it anywhere they sell Network cables, or you can even modify a straight cable but I wouldn't suggest it, but there are some how-to somewhere if you ever want to do it!
A Cross-Over cable works like the Hub/router giving an IP to what ever NIC thats it's connected to. With a normal rj45 the cable thinks that the hub/router all ready provided the IP. Cross-over cables are good IF you only want to setup a local network with a few computers.It will save you alot of money then buying a hub/router.
