No network connection

Hi,

I have a softmodded xbox (bought like it) and I am trying to connect to it via FTP. When I plug the ethernet cable in no LEDS come on. It would appear that there is no conection at all. A light doesn't even appear on my router.

If I go into the xbox settings the icon at the top of the network settings page says 'no link' it does the same if I use DHCP or static. Should I be using different settings ??. I know my setup (network) is fine as my 360 connection to XBL is fine and so is this PC I am connected to the net on.

Any ideas?

Cheers

Cheers dude.

good luck.

 

Hi,

OK, did all that and still no joy. I have tried both ways (DHCP & STATIC) and nothing. What is worrying is there are no lights on the ethernet port lighting up on the back of the xbox. Does a softmod stop these working or could even the type of softmod stop this working?

Not really sure where to go from here. There are no other settings to play with

Any ideas?

MD

 

hmm which dash do you have?

 

did you ever go Live after softmod?

 

Hi,

Now theres the question. As I bought the xbox used it was already modded so I just dont know if it has been xposed to live or not.

As for the dashboard I am also unsure. Sorry to be a bit thick but I am new to modding. The dash is blue in colour and has an xbox symbol in the middle of the screen and some buttons shaped around it. In the apps menu there are things like:

Config Magic
Bios Checker - crashes if I try and run it
Complex Tools
DVD-x2 dongle free playback

All the above seem to have an UNLEASHED-X brand except the Configmagic.

ok it is unleash dash.

go to setting then network what do you see ip setting in there.

 

current IP = no link
MAC address =
Enable = YES
Type = DHCP
IP Address = 192.168.1.11
Subnet Mask = grey'd out
Gateway = Grey'd out
DNS1 =
DNS2 =

Thats it

MD

 

ok change to this

Type = Static
IP Address = 192.168.1.11
Subnet Mask = 250.250.250.0
Gateway = 192.168.1.10
DNS1 =
DNS2 =

 

on PC go to local area network and then properties, then selec properties of IP/TCP. what do you have there

 

Tried those settings = no joy. I saved all the settings and when I rebooted it has gone back to 192.168.1.11 but all other settings are blank


The PC is running on full DHCP

For your ref my router is running:

192.168.1.1 (Gateway)
DNS1 - 194.168.4.100
DNS2 - 194.168.8.100
Subnet - 255.255.255.0

wtf. do you have other dashboard?

 

No I don't have any other dashboards. My trouble is, I bought it used and I dont know what the guy has done before me !!

Do you think it would be a good idea to remove the mod and run with something like EVO? kind of start from a fresh approach.

OR

I am considering going for the xecuter 2.6 or 3 - should I wait install this and go from there with a whole fresh install (new HDD, dash board etc)?

Sorry to be a pain to you !!

MD

 

shit. Do not uninstall it. otherwise you screw up.
are you sure that you don't have other dashboard?

 

I am not sure what you mean by other dashboard???

In the main menu there is an option for MS dashbard! If I click that thou the xbox resets itself and then comes up with a bacl screen with green writing (lot of different languages) saying ' SERVICE REQUIRED. CALL CUSTOMER SUPPORT'

MD

 

goto file manager. What do you have on C and E and F drive?

 

low and behold !!!!!

there is a file in c: called evoxdash.xbe

wtf do I do with it ?

MD

 

what's up MD,

You helped me earlier,360 HDD, thanks a lot man.

I used the ethernet cable I got with my DSL and it didn't work, but I used one from radio shack and it worked. I used cat5E 24 awg from radio shack. Maybe that will work. It only costs like ten bucks.

Good luck man
