I've done it going straight into the NIC card, but don't want to have to change my PC settings to FTP. I have a good EVo-x boot disk and am looking at the network settings screen. I have FlashFXP installed. I'm trying to link up so I can put evo-x on my xbox HD. Any help is appreciated. I've found a few tuts, but they're kind of vague. THANKS@!!!

X-S Enthusiast Group: Members Posts: 23 Joined: 11-July 03 Member No.: 49077	Thanks for the response. That helps. I still can't seem to connect. Here are my settings: 192.168.0.100 (Pc) 192.168.0.1 (gateway) the other computer on my network is 192.168.0.102, so I set up the box as 192.168.0.101 and gateway as 192.168.000.100. NOt sure with the extra zeros in there. I disable my firewall and try to connect with flash and try to ping in CMD, but it times out. This is frustrating PLEASE!!! help.

X-S Enthusiast Group: Members Posts: 23 Joined: 11-July 03 Member No.: 49077	Thanks. But do I need to reburn? When I load with the evox CD and change the IP settings under network and reboot it keeps the settings, so I've been trying it that way. One more question, in forwarding my ports on the router, do I chose TCP, UDP, or both?
