    OK... so....
    like a month or so ago i softmodded my xbox and everything was dandy, i could ftp perfectly. i was having a dvd burner installed on my computer, and the guy that did it said he had to re-install windows, which meant i would lose all my music and modding stuff, and i would have to find everything all over again, i got this idea that i could store stuff on my xbox until my windows was finished re-installing. when it was i downloaded flashfxp and tried to connect.. didn't work... when i tried smartftp i got a message saying "the connection was blocked by the software on the host machine" i was using the right ip adress to connect
    i use unleashx dashboard, i've re-installed it to see if that worked.
    its set to DHCP, the only thing that i can conclude is that my xbox blocks my computer. help please..

    Here's a link that you can use to see if you have all the numbers right, on your xbox and computer http://www.chefelf.com/xbox/networking.php in case you might of forgotten a few things.

    Who installed you dvd burner? Either you paid to much or not enough! you do not need to do a reinstall of your OS for a burner.

    Yea I have to agree with him, i dont know what went wrong but a dvd burrner should not require a whole new os, kind os. Unless u were running a lower os b4 that but w/e weird.

    I got all the numbers right, and I still couldn't connect. I'm thinking I should get a new dashboard. I used the SID3 installer and it has a version of evox and unleashx, but I don't know if those are different or not as good as whatever dashboards anyone else uses. I can't FTP, but I know I can burn CD's. The problem is, my xbox doesn't read .exe files.

    thanks

    All is well!

    I tried doing just the opposite, by trying to get my xbox to connect to my computer. It didn't work but then I tried FlashFXP again, and guess what!! It worked.

    Thanks for the help!
