oh and by the way i am using a cross over cable !!!!!!!

 

Whats the IP address of your pc?- the first three set of digits have to be the same for the X-box as the pc(Example-XXX.XXX.XXX) all have to be the same the last set of digits are whats different. Also I'd invest in a router(less hassels)

 

when i go into the local area connection the ( tcp\ip ) is
192.168.0.1 . many thanks for the help it is much needed

 

Do you have a firewall up and running? if you do try disableing it. Next thing is the cable itself. Buy yourself a inexpensive router(plenty of them out there)

 

i have turned off the firewall and still the same. when you say route do you mean the same as the one i use for my broadband ? i am new to this xbox gaming. i have no probs with my ps2 . thanks again

 

I suggest you pick up a router-it'll look similiar to the one that you use for your broadband-Go with a Linksys and make sure its "wired" NOT wireless. But before you do that do you happen to have a friend that has an X-box that has a mod chip? if so have him bring his over and try it but everything seems to point to your cross-over cable. Also what dashboard are you using(evoluntionX,avalauch,unleashedX)-go into the program and give me the settings for everything as far as the network goes-the gateway,ip etc. and let me know what operating system is on your pc(Windows 2000, Windows XP?) if your using one of these do this-go to start-run and type CMD in the run box. A blackbox will appear-next type ipconfig/all and give me the ip address the gateway and dns values as well.

 

hi i did the run on pc and its as follows
ppp adaptor broadband
ip 80.43.82.173
gateway 80.43.82.173
dns 212.74.114.129
212.74.114.193
i have windows xp and the xbox settings are as follows

current ip no link
mac address 00-0d-3a-c0-1a-7f
enable yes
type static
ip address 192.168.0.3
subnet mask
gateway
dns 1
dns 2
auto detect yes
ftp server
enable yes
user xbox
password xbox
port 21
max No of users 2
allow anonymas yes
min pasv port 1024
max pasv port 65536
syst name unix emulated by unleashx 0.37.1218a buil543
boost mode yes
ftp client
min port 0
max port 65536
detect peers yes
http connection
enable proxy no
proxy
port 1080

when i use the cross over cable there is only 1 place it can go in the back of computer isnt there ? i have unleash dashboard
and again many many thanks

 

Bingo-there's your problem in a nutshell-your ip address for your pc and x-box aren't the same. remeber what I said in my previous post-the first series of digits "have to be the same" But it still looks like your doing something wrong your gateway and ip address "can't be the same" they have to be different on your pc. Check them again let me give you another example. lets say your ip address for your pc is 80.43.82.173 then go into your x-box's network settings and change it to 80.43.82.175 and ccheck your gateway address again for your pc that has to be wrong. but make sure the gateway for your pc and x-box are the same and your good to go!

 

how do I find the right ip address

 

does the cross over cable go into the local area network if so do i need to change the ip address for the lan, or do i need to change it on the xbox to corrispond with the broadband ip address ( the address what i got from what you told me to do ) many thanks again

 

OK here we go....
On your pc...goto control panel and get to the icon of the network card that you're gunna use. Right click it and select properties,then highlight TCP/IP and click the properties tab.
Now check off the dot that will allow you to select your own IP address. Fill it in like so...

IP-192.168.0.225
subnet-255.255.255.0 (this is default)
default gateway-192.168.0.10
Now click OK and close the windows...you are done on this end.

Now on your xbox,goto your dashboard settings and select the setting that will let you use a static IP and fill it in as so

IP-192.168.0.224
subnet-255.255.255.0
default gateway-192.168.0.10

save and exit,reboot if you have to.


Now if you are using an ftp program the settings will be

IP-192.168.0.224
username-xbox
password-xbox


That's about as easy as I can make it....I hope this works.

fixed...thanks

 

hey punqewe he type in the xbox ip in the ftp client

should be 192.168.0.224

 

yeah sorry bout that,(good catch) the IP of the xbox should be the same as the one you are connecting to in your ftp program.

 

i thought the ip on pc and xbox had to be same ? does it have to be them settings or do i change the pc so its the same as the oone on xbox ? thanks

 

he gave you some settings that will work...why did you ask for help if you don't even try the things people say? why would the xbox ip be the same as the pc, that is just dumb? the xbox ip CANNOT be the same as the pc ip...just use the settings punqewe just gave you, THEY WILL WORK.

 

You can also use another method....the 2 NIC method (online)

Go into your control panel and navigate to the connection that you use to axcess the internet. Right click it and select the advanced tab at the top.....now select to share this conection. You will have to configure it a bit but it is easy and it will make perfect sense when you look at it all. Once you're done there,goto your other network connection and make sure that it's set to use DHCP. (non-static IP)

Now in your xbox settings set it up to use a non-static IP (DHCP)...you might have to reboot your box and/or your pc for the settings to take. Once you have done this and your pc is running,boot up your xbox and look on the dash. The IP will now be a non static one,and all your online functions are now availible to you. You can even use xbconnect to tunnel through your pc and use the xlink/kai features. To ftp all you would have to do is look to see what IP your xbox has asigned to it and use that in your ftp program with the username (xbox) and password (xbox) and you should be good to go.

 

hi i have got it sorted now thanks very much , i had a game saved on the hard drive and i have transfered the files to pc , what is the best program to make them in to iso's i have dvd decriptor to burn . also when i am doing a game which i have in the drive do i need to hi light all the files in d drive and transfere them over to pc . thanks again dave

 

i have used flash fxp to transfer the xbox game to pc and called the file xboxgame what do i need to do with this now.

in the file there are other files these are

bink / maps / media / default.bak / default.xbe .
many thanks for your time dave

 

use qwix to create a iso...then just burn the iso, and you will have a backup.
