[bold]How do I config options on Evox dash[/bold]?
Ftp the evox.ini to PC. Then open it with notepad. You will see a lot of codes in there.

[bold]Why do I want to edit evox.ini and skin.ini[/bold]?
Once you turn on your xbox and evox dash does not shows all options as normal. The evox.ini was corrupted.

Second, you want to organize the options on Evox dash as your way.

Third, you want to organize and to display time, clock, ip, temp, freespaces, etc... on Evox dash as your way.

[bold]What will happen if I mess up[/bold]?
Your evox dash still boot even though you accidently deleted evox.ini. But you only see few options. If you mess up the skin.ini, that skin will not work. So evox loads the original skin.

[bold]Which part of evox.ini should I play around[/bold]?
The [Menu] part on evox.ini for beginners. The whole evox.ini for advanced users only.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Here is my [Menu] on evox.ini


[Menu]

There are a lot of stuffs to edit in skin.ini. I will post later.
For more questions, let me know.

 

that does not work.. for me at least. i did everything exact and FlashFXP says no route to host... seriously i am screwed...

 

Turn your network card on..

 

@ct_06

What do you have? router or crossover cable?

 

I guess that would be good to know and not assume he has a router

 

oh yea i guess i should have said im using crossover and i have it connected from xbox right to the comp... ive tried everything and it still wont work...

 

That is weird. It should work. Which dashboard do you have?

 

ive got evolutionX

 

If you have windows 98, it may not work.

Connect xbox to PC by using crossover cable. Set everything as above and save. Reboot xbox. Then go back to settings. Scan for FTP and Network options. Just change to YES if it is NO. Check to see if IP address changes. It should be:

IP 192.168.1.10
subnet 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.1.11

If they are changed, then NOT GOOD. Also check IP on PC too.

Reboot xbox. then fire up flash fxp and connect.

 

i got windows xp not 98... and i tried that... nothing is working..... yes it is weird cuz i used your guide to FTP my friends xbox and it worked.. we did that today and then went back to my house and tried mine the same exact way we did his and it didnt work... i dont kno whats up with it but nothing is working...

 

ok
Bring your xbox to your friend's house and try to ftp. If it does not work and your friend's xbox works, then you know you xbox does not work with ftp. So check options in settings of Evox.

If it works, then your xbox is ok. The PC has problems.

But first let find out if your xbox can ftp with your friend's computer.

 

i never thought of that... will do. ill get back to ya to tell u if it works

 

okay , so , just follow the instructions above and then you should be able to FTP using a cross-over able? Because , I have tried b4 and nothing has worked...

 

Yes. It should work.

Like ct_06 did at his friend's house and it works. But he can't get it works at home.

So you have to know little bit of computer too.

 

I just kinda skimmed over this tut and it seems fine but if I don't find the IP automatically or whatever, and set it to the IP you provided, won't that mess up the connection with my modem? I'm using a router now (Modem > Router > PC) and haven't been able to get the xbox to connect to it, I'm almost positive it has something to do with DHCP, so later today I'm just going to connect with a crossover cable. Will I just have to change the Local Area Network settings each time I disconnect my Xbox or can I just make a whole new connection with different settings? Hope this makes since.

 

ok you are using DHCP, then conect like this:

Keep the way PC connecting.
Connect ethernet cable to xbox and port 1-4 on router.
turn on xbox. then look ip of xbox.
turn on flashfxp and connect to that ip.

Also list all ip on PC and xbox here too.

 

OK I'm trying now to connect with a crossover cable.

Use the following IP address:

IP address: 192.168.0.2
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
Default gateway: 192.168.0.100

I can sucessfully ping to 192.168.0.2 but when I try FlashFXP:

[R] Connecting to 192.168.0.2-> IP=192.168.0.2 PORT=21
(and immediately) [R] Connection failed (Connection refused)

I hope this was detailed enough... any help please?

 

This is your xbox IP address:

IP address: 192.168.0.2
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
Default gateway: 192.168.0.100

What is your PC IP?

It should be like this:

IP address: 192.168.0.100
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
Default gateway: 0.0.0.0

Then connect again

 

Ok, this is gettting sooo very frustrating but here are ALL the specs that I have... they seem correct to me but maybe not.

XBOX NETWORK SETTINGS:

Enable : Yes
Type : Static
IP Address : 192.168.0.2
Subnet Mask : 255.255.255.0
Gateway : 192.168.0.100


Using the following IP address:

IP address : 192.168.0.3
Subnet mask : 255.255.255.0
Default gateway : 192.168.0.100

Here's what I get from 'run > cmd > ipconfig /all' :

Physical Address : 00-07-E9-BC-20-F1
Dhcp Enabled : Yes [not sure how to change that, if it matters]
Autoconfiguration Enabled : Yes
IP Address : 192.168.2.104
Subnet Mask : 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway : 192.168.2.1
DHCP Server : 192.168.2.1
DNS Servers : 68.87.68.162
68.87.74.162

Umm ok so I think the problem might have something to do with my router. Here is how I use the internet : cable modem -> linksys router -> computer.

Basically, I'm pretty sure that the router uses DHCP, hell I don't even know what DHCP is but it seems to be causing some trouble (refer to my "ipconfig /all")

When my router and everything is hooked up, I can go to internet explorer and type in 192.168.2.1 and it takes me to some linksys page with the password admin, no user name. I remember seeing something to do with DHCP but I don't know what to make of it.

So I guess I have two options : connect Xbox directly to PC with crossover cable (which I'd rather do; it seems cleaner, and less likely to mess up) or just connect the Xbox to another port on the router. Either way, I just have to change the network settings on the PC each time I use the internet (it just obtains the IP automatically and says it's assigned by DHCP).

If you need anymore information, I'll try to give what I am familiar with, I'm ready to FTP . Thanks.
