HI... I have some trouble networking my xbox to my pc. I've donde everything I read on the tutorials. I've put the Ip adresses right, I have the crossover cavle connected, I'm running latest version of flashfxp, and windows xp SP2. But I still get that damn message on flashfxp "CONNECTION TIMED OUT"... or something like it. So please, I don't know what else to do...

Hi dan270586,
ok..
1. click start menu
2. select 'run'
3. type in 'cmd' (winxp,2000) or type in 'command' for win95/98 etc
4. type 'ipconfig /all' or 'winipconfig'
5. it will show you all your pc network settings.
heres what my ip config looks like:
Windows IP Configuration
Connection-specific DNS Suffix . :
Description . . . . . . . . . . . : Realtek RTL8139
rnet NIC
Physical Address. . . . . . . . . : 00-01-80-3A-46-
Dhcp Enabled. . . . . . . . . . . : No
IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.0.1
Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.0.1
DNS Servers . . . . . . . . . . . : 203.12.160.35
206.12.160.36
6. write down your settings or copy and paste.
7. my home pc ip is 192.168.0.1 with a subnet of 255.255.255.0. So just use this as a example.
8. I have my xbox setup with a static ip address of '192.168.0.2' with a subnet of '255.255.255.0' and a gateway of '192.168.0.1'. And have the static switch under xbox setting switched to 'YES' static..
9. reboot your xbox
IMPORTANT:
- if you are connecting directly from your network card to your xbox you should be using a crossover.
- if you are connecting from your hub/switch router etc to your xbox use a normal rj45 network lead..
ALSO TURN OFF ALL FIREWALLS UNTIL YOU ESTABLISH A FTP CONNECTION WITH YOUR XBOX.. YOU CAN THEN CONFIGURE THAT LATER
my flashfxp settings:
example:
ip: 192.168.0.2 Port: 21
user: xbox
pass: xbox

HI --forahobby-- , I did what you said on "command", and there is something different with my configuration, my ip routing is not enabled. I've installed it, you know with all the ipv6 install yare yare yare... but it's still not enabled. And I still get that message of "connection failed (connection timed out)".

ok.. So your pc is 192.168.0.1 good..
Your xbox should now be set to 192.168.0.2 or another ip in that range..
192.168.0.3, 192.168.0.4, etc etc etc
do this:
1. click start menu
2. select 'run'
3. type in 'cmd'
4. type in 'ping 192.168.0.2 -t' then press enter.
It will now be pinging your xbox to wait for reply.. If you want to stop it just press 'Control + C' and it will stop pinging.
heres what it looks like when it sees your xbox:
Code:
Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]

Make sure yuo have lights on both the xbox and the pc network cards even if you arent pinging it. It shuold have a link light lit up..
If you have no link lights then it may be your cable.
anyway, wont be long.. hopefully you will be sweet.
