    You can all make your own X over cable, all you need is the connectors, 8 core cable and this diagram.
    Cross-over Cable Wiring
    Pin 1 White with Orange White with Green Pin 1
    Pin 2 Orange Green Pin 2
    Pin 3 White with Green White with Orange Pin 3
    Pin 4 Blue Blue Pin 4
    Pin 5 White with Blue White with Blue Pin 5
    Pin 6 Green Orange Pin 6
    Pin 7 White with Brown White with Brown Pin 7
    Pin 8 Brown Brown Pin 8

    So as you can see for instance PIN1 white/orange would connect to PIN3 at the other end - it's dead easy; give it a go

    PIN1 to PIN3
    PIN2 to PIN6
    PIN3 to PIN1
    PIN4 to PIN4
    PIN5 to PIN5
    PIN6 to PIN2
    PIN7 to PIN7
    PIN8 to PIN8

    Hope that's a bit clearer

    Ok...I've tried a few different tutorials including this one..And yet it still doesnt work. I use a router and when I connect it says Connection Failed...And sometimes it says Connection Timed Out..So I tried connecting directly to my computer..And it says No route to Host...I used the appropriate wires and used the right settings...I've spent nearly 15 hours on this..And it still hasn't worked...Whats wrong?

    hey I am new member here, and i followed every guide about this, and nothing worked,
    However following the tutorial in this thread seemed helpful because for the firstime, whenever i connect my xbox to my laptop (using a crossover cable) i have a lillte sign at the bottom right of my desktop (to computers together with a YELLOW traingle with an !), and when i click it, Status: LIMITED OR NO CONNECTIVITY
    Speed: 100.0 Mbps


    a week ago this time i could ftp to my xbox without any hassel however i recieved a virus and had to reformat/reboot my laptop with a windows xp service pack 3 (i borrowed from a friend), and since then i could no fttp my xbox.

    i am using EVOX. dashboard. and followed every single method here.



    PLEASE HELP!

    Have a good check into your firewall settings. Just turning it off doesn't seem to do the trick. but making an exception for your ftp app does. Plus..and I don't think it's mentioned in the guide. don't put a default gateway into your pc settings unless running on a router. and make the xbox default gateway the same as the pc IP..That should crack it.
    Also try rebooting the xbox fully after every change.(remember to save and exit..I spent a few hours early on before I realised I was just hitting exit) It's not very good at applying changes on the fly.

    "Just turning it off doesn't seem to do the trick. but making an exception for your ftp app does."
    what do you mean by an exception for ur ftp?

    i have turned off my firewall (from the little shield icon in the bottom right corner), is there another way i could turn it off, or is there another firewall apart from this one?

    thanks for the help
