Hi I've tried to set my pc to a static ip to connect with my xbox when in settings/controlpanel/network (Win98SE) I see like 4 TCP/IP I change'em all to my xbox ip,submask net and default gateway and the pc askme for a restart to make the changes ok now when restarting it says systems is having problems with ip:192.168.0.1(my xbox ip) when hardware is addressed to :xx.xxx.xx.xxx (cant remember the numbers) new ip will be dissabled or something My question if somebody wanna help me is: how do I set my pc to static ip? on Win98SE thank you the tutorials I've seen are different than what I have mostly all are for WindowsXP or WinME thanx in advance
ok I've changed all the TCP/IP on my network to 192.168.0.2 submask:255.255.255.0 my xbox is: 192.168.0.1 submask:255.255.255.0 I cant get inside my xbox hdd im on Win98 what im doing wrong? any help apreciated
You shouldn't have 4 TCP/IP connections in your PC settings. Try to figure out which ones you don't need and delete them. Sounds like your causing a conflict on your PC by setting them all to the same IP address. RustyDog
I did delete to all but 1 and tried to connect with my xbox with no result then change the TCP/IP properties to get back my dsl settings and restarting aol there was a message aol needed those tcp/ip I just deleted and it installed them again so mm I dont know which ones I dont need to do this networking thing is a crossover better than a hub? also if my xbox is 192.168.0.1 what should I put on my NIC settings? 192.168.0.2 ? with same submask? thanx in advance bro
How did you mess up your NIC? Can you just re-install it? Does it still show up in your System Hardware?
I dont know I changed everything back to normal and could'nt connect to DSL again I got tired of it and delete it from the hardware mannager to reinstall again when reinstalling something was not found on the floppy drivers that came with the NIC and pc asked me for the Win98 CD but I dont have it :-D any way my OS was getting serious slowdowns Im gonna put Win ME on my pc im using the oldone this beauty still works :-D going back to the topic pardon my stupidity but how do I connect my pc to xbox? now im on WinMe hope not to kill this one too email perrobravo69@aol.com thanx
A hub will work the same as a crossover cable. http://get-modded.com/tutorials/BasicNetworking.pdf RustyDog
should I put my pc on the link port? or the xbox? or none of them? cause nothing works at this time I can get the FTP to work
There should be one port to either connect to another Hub or Highspeed Modem. Then the rest of the ports are where you plug your XBox and PC into. RustyDog
A question should'nt be the xbox default gateway my pc's ip? like lets say pc's ip 192.168.0.2 255.255.255.0 default gateway: 0.0.0.0 ? xbox ip 192.168.0.1 255.255.255.0 default gateway: 192.168.0.2 ?
