hi you guys said that if you use a router that you cant use a cross over cable. but please tell me if this makes sense, if i connect my pc to my router, can i use a cross over cable to connect my xbox to my pc? should it work?

 

no...just connect the xbox directly to your pc then follow the steps

 

This tutorial is nice but im just wondering what exactly is a crossover cable? regular internet cable wont work?

 

basically a cable used to connect 2 computers. looks like an internet cable, not the same. no a normal one won't work.

 

Alright i get the importance of a crossover cable but when i hook my xbox to my router (not using a crossover cable) it says "timed out". Anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this? thnx.

 

cant do ftping through routers

 

get a crossover cable!

 

alright ill get a crossover cable. thnx for your help.

 

alrighty, let us know how you do.

 

is a patch cable the same thing or something else? i bought a cross over cable at ebay but the green packaging it came in says patch cable. it also doesnt work, i asked for a refund and the seller refused saying they are indeed cross over cables. the two ends of the cable are identical. what do i do, are the cables cross over cables? or is a patch cable something different? thanks

 

It is a cross over cable indeed, are you going straight threw to the pc from xbox (or vice versa) NO ROUTER FTPING!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

It sounds like it is a crossover cable. one way to check. put the two ends together and if the wires are in the same order (going from left to right) then its a regular cable. if their mixed up its a crossover cable. For example if the one side is green, red, yellow orange and the other is red, yellow,green,orange then its a crossover cable. good luck.
