I am trying to connect my Xbox to a basic functional local area network (2 windows xp Pro computers + a 3COM basic ethernet hub). On the Xbox, I went into the manual network settings and assigned an Ip address and subnet Mask (this is a very basic setup. No need of Internet access, pppOE, Xbox live setup ... etc): IP=192.168.1.17 (since the other 2 computers are 192.168.1.15 and 192.168.1.16) and Subnet=255.255.255.0 I rebooted the Xbox + the 2 computers, but the 2 computers wont ping the xbox IP (keep ketting a Request time out error). I am out of solution since: (1)The 2 windows XP Pro have no Firewall blocking IP traffic to trhe Xbox (2)The ethernet cable that connects the Xbox to the 3 COM standard 8 ports hub is functional (I tried successfully with the other pcs) and you can actually see on the hub the light confirming that the hub sees a connection coming from that Xbox. (3)There's no issue with the hub's port where the Xbox is plugged to. (4)What I did matches perfectly what I see in several documentations I found on the Net regarding this setup..but it wont work in my case. Thanks for your help.
ftp to an xbox requires a crossover cable....(not a standard rj45) for a full ftp walkthrough reply to this thread and ill write you one
heres my setup...idk if it would help xbox-i have the xbox wireless adapter 1 pc - belkin wireless g router and then i took the xbox wireless adapter setup disc and set it up.... ps. sry for bad drawing i never did good in art
i have never used a wireless connection for xbox ftp.. in general i find wireless connections to be very tempermental with firewall issues and other basic set up stuff unless the router and wireless peripheral are the same make..especially on first time installs . i can give you a rock solid way of doing a wired connection if you have a cross over cable other than that i would have to trawl countless forums to find the know how for a wireless solution.. dont get me wrong.. it can be done but its not something ive ever looked in to
Jabberjab wrote he said he is going through an ethernet hub so a standard RJ45 should work fine. A cross over is if you go direct from the box to your pc. @ aromes Just out of interest why are you networking it if not to connect to xbox live? If you just want to look inside it I assume it is a modded box yes?
i noticed that once i had finished posting the reply... but in my defence i did say i would write a full walk through for a direct connection as im not too keen on wireless... my walkthrough will acheive the same goal guaranteed.. only with wires... some solution is better than none
sry my post was about xbl not ftping my fault...I only ftp'ede threw cross over ...can u still ftp without softmodding
You need to have a modded box to ftp into it. If there is a way to do it on an unmodded box i have not heard of it.
shinnster, I just wanted to transfer saved games to the Xbox in order to unlock some games that I have hard time unlocking (for example, car racing games like NFS are great...but I have hard time unlocking cars). My Xbox is not modded since I thought that 2 networkable nodes (the PC and the XBox) should see each other with no hassle. Sadly, I am discovering that the Xbox is not that network ready node you simply join to your basic IP network. Thanks
So all you need to do that is action replay. i assume you have game saves on your pc. Unfortunately the xbox will not let you network up like you do with pc's :-(
