    First make sure that evox is running on your xbox. Then make sure that in your .ini file you have set your IP and enabled FTP and your password is xbox. Then Start FlashFXP (I use this and it works everytime) and click Quick connect. Enter in the IP of your xbox, username xbox, and password xbox. If your IP is correct, then it should connect. Under the Evox menu look for your system settings and where it tells your your IP addy. At the top it will say if there is a cable connected to your xbox, and what the IP of your Computer is. When I first tried to FTP It wouldnt connect, but I noticed it said my computers IP was 0.0.0.0 so I did a reboot with my xbox and all was good.

    Try these settings!

    On your nic card:

    IP : 192.168.0.1
    Subnetmask : 255.255.255.0

    On your xbox:

    Use Static IP : Yes
    IP: 192.168.0.2
    Subnetmask : 255.255.255.0
    DefaultGateway : 192.168.0.1

    Good luck!
