hey everyone, i'm using a modded xbox. Xecuter2. also has XBMC ( if it means anything) 1. I need help. I'm trying to connect my xbox to pc or (vice versa). So i can view movies, video clips, pictures...... 2. is there a update my xbox? (software or firmware) if so "HOW TO"? thanks for your help
a few points before i answer 1. remove your email as it is against forum rules to post it and you could get banned 2. no one can link you to a place to download games, that is also against the rules you do not need any special firmware or update to do what you want. What you need is basic networking skills. You need to set up a home network on your PC using the network setup wizard in windows. Then you also need to go into the properties of your hard drive (right click on it under my computer, click properties, go to sharing tab and eneable sharing of the drive) If you do not do this the Xbox will not be able to see anything on it. You can also just share certain folders instead of the whole hard drive if you like but then you have to remember that is what you want to play is not in a shared folder, the XBMC will not see it. I actually forget the option you use within XBMC to access the home network you set up because i do not use it that often and when i do it is all instinct by now. http://www.xboxmediacenter.com/info_howto.htm some info there may help you.
A good place to go for a tutorial on how to do this is http://www.chefelf.com/xbox/networking.php they explain everything in very good detail. Hope this helps you. good luck
that is decent guide but i think it is just way too long, plus it only has the setup for a static IP, which is not the case with all people. Mine is all set up DHCP so it assigns all the network information on it's own.
well if that guide doesnt work for everybody this guide should. http://www.xbox-hq.com/html/xbox-tutorials-204.html workd for me. good luck.
I actually forget how i figured it out, it has been a while. But i have 2 other sites i am a moderator at with some really great guys. So when ever i need a hand, i know where to find it.
yea its easier to chat with someone live because they can just talk instead of typing see if one of you friends can help you if not then look for an easier tutorial then i posted. im sure there one out there.
i will be around tonight but not until about 5-5:30PM Eastern Standard Time. BUt since everyone's system is slightly different not sure if i could get it working through chat, i am more of a hands on, fooling with it until i get it working, type. But i will be glad to try.
I would help you on like aim or something but i dont think im allowed to post my aim sn on here... i think its against the forum rules. if a mod can like verify if i can or whatever then ill haelp you. good luck
I have MSN myself. If no one gets back to you about fixing it, send me a PM and remind me, also give me the email address in the PM to look you up on MSN. I will be around Wednesday night after 5PM EST
I only have aim because msn doesnt work for some reason. well i hope you can find help in what your looking for. good luck
