How To FTP And How To Config Options On EvolutionX Dashboard & Skins. If You Lost MS Dashboard, Games, Apps And Emulators Menu On Evox Dash, Evox....

i boot up my xbox and leave it on the unleashx dash and then go onto smart ftp and try to connect but it says:
SmartFTP v1.5.990.19
Resolving host name "192.168.0.2"
Connecting to 192.168.0.2 Port: 21
Connected to 192.168.0.2.
Server closed connection

can you help me please?
ftp is enabled on my xbox and everything. the ip must be right cos its connecting in the first place and then gets shut down.
im stuck

 

@PerryS
This is what fucked you up. Either change PC IP or xbox IP.

So change PC IP goto network connection => properties of local area network => properties of IP/TCP => set IP => save.

 

@backupguy
tell me what is your xbox IP and PC IP like PerryS listed above.

 

Hey guess what... I'm an idiot. Jeez it seriously took me like 12 hours on the pc to figure out that I had an unknown firewall. The situation: my very controlling step-dad apparently had another firewall put on the computer. I always thought that I only had the Windows Firewall and on Network Connections it always said "connected; not firewalled". Oh well, I just happened to reboot to safemode to check if mIRC would work and guess what.. it did! So I just disabled Sygate Personal Firewall and everything worked beautifully. For your information, here are the settings that work:

XBOX:

IP : 192.168.0.2
Subnet : 255.255.255.0
Gateway : 192.168.0.10

What to use on PC :

IP : 192.168.0.3
Subnet : 255.255.255.0
Gateway : 192.168.0.10

Connecting directly with a crossover cable. Thankyou very much for your help TheReturn, even though it was totally my fault.

 

ok heres my ip's:
pc:

heres what i get in run/cmd:
ethernet adapter local area connection:
autoconfig ip address: 169.254.187.21
subnet mask: 225.225.0.0
default gateway: (blank)

ppp adapter tiscali broadband blaa blaa blaa...

my xbox ftp settings:

current ip: 169.254.187.22
enable: yes
ip address: 169.254.187.22
subnet mask: 225.225.225.0
default gateway: 167.254.187.21
dns 1: 0.0.0.0
dns 2: 0.0.0.0

ftp server:

enable:yes
user: xbox
pass: xbox
port: 21
max no. of users: 3
etc. etc.

please help me... i think there is something wrong with the ips on the xbox or something because the current ip and ip address' are the same....

 

p.s even though my xbox is on the ethernet connection is limted or has no connectivity or so the pc says...

 

sorry for like triple posting but i got it working, i just used ie instead and it worked straight away without changing anything lol. anybody know any good mods sites apart from a4h.us
which i suppose isnt gd anyway

 

how can i find out what my original IP address was on my xbox before i changed to use the FTP? or will i still be able to sign into xbox live evern tho it was changed

 

@backupguy

so your pc ip is:
ip address: 169.254.187.21
subnet mask: 225.225.0.0

and your xbox ip is:
ip address: 169.254.187.22
subnet mask: 225.225.225.0
default gateway: 167.254.187.21


CHANGE THE DEFAULT GATEWAY ON XBOX TO 169.254.187.21

Then try to connect again.

 

@FF7_4ever
did your xbox mod?
which dash do you have?

 

i still cant connect my box to flah fxp, the LAN connection keeps asying acquiring network address and when i close out the tab after putting in the ip a message comes up that says' the static ip address that was just configured is already in use on the network. please reconfigure a different ip addres' so i have no clue what to do any help would be great AIM:ichoosethebanjo

 

tell me what is your pc and xbox ip like those guys above? what type of connection do you have? which dashboard and windows?

 

I have the UnleashX dash and i have skins that i have been trying to FTP to my box all night and i cant get it to work. i have created a E:/Skins folder a put them in there and heres a question do i need to extract those files before i FTP them to the box or can i justdrag and drop them into the folder. and i have tried both ways so maybe im not even doing it right at all any help you be awesome thanks.

 

hi ppl i need help ftping into my xbox im sing project mayhem 3 skin and i tried doing the whole fxp tut but it didnt work can sum1 help?

 

@FF7_4ever
So you successfully do ftp from pc to xbox.
For the skins, you have to extract them first before ftp to xbox.
Where is your unleash dash at? So the Skin folder is next to it. FTP skins to that skin folder.


@junez
tell me your status of ip on pc and Xbox. how do you connect them?

 

i am using x-box media center i got them directly connected to eachother wit a cat5e cable

ip address 192.168.0.3
netmask 255.255.255.0
default gateway 192.168.0.1
dns server 192.168.0.4

when im offline it says no route to host and when im online it says connection time out

 

hmm...
I dont have experiences with XBMC. I can't help you on this. Unless you can go to another dashboard.

 

@ junez

is you xbox set to static and if its not go into your system settings and change it when you do you should see your ip for your box that all you need and your subnet mask but thats always the same. once you have that ip go to your PC and go to your connect to tab in your start menu. click on it then go to show all connections. then right click on your LAN or highspeed internet icon, go to properties it brings up another box scroll all the way down then click once on the internet protocol then click on the properties button it will bring up another box it should be set to find IP automatically. chang it to use the following IP address. ok where it says IP put the IP that you got from you Xbox when you changes it to static and then put in the subnet mask the 255.255.... after you do that click ok it will automatiacally close the box and you are back to the one before it click close then you should be ready to go to you FTP program (FlashFXP for me) the hit F8 for quick connection. that will bring up a box in the server put the IP you got from your Xbox user name is xbox and password is xbox dont touch anything else once you have done that hit connect and it should work.

hope this helps this is how i do it.

 

i did all that like the tut says like 3 times it just doesnt connect

 

ok here try this change your ip on your box to 192.168.0.20 then make sure it is static.
then go to your pc and change it to the same thing try this
