ok 1st off i want to say.. i have looked and searched at about 100oooo sites to try to get the info i need or the help i need. ok now on to my problems..
i got the disk to load up .. killed every thing on my HDD on the xbox. i'm a noob and didn't know it was going to wipe it all out. but i got the disk on the hdd no problem, it works plays games can turn the chip on or off.. but now the big thing. i don't want to do any thing special with the BOX, but i would like to put my original games onto my comp as back up blah blah. but i 'cant FTP to the xbox. no IP shows up on my xbox it says IP 0.0.0.0
when i try to connect it says failed failed failed.. i am using FLASH FXP to connect. i have tried with a crosspatch cable i tried going right ot the hub with a reg cable.. i have tried it all.. if any one can point me in the right dirrection or hints of any thing i'm doing wrong please please PLEASE...

dashboard.. i'm using what the disk came with.. i'm so noobish i don't know what it is to be honest? when i load my xbox in chip mode [which is EVO-x CHIP when it loads up] it goes to something called , MEDIACENTER HOME... i can't change IP settings at all any where.
another thing i got a evolution dashboard on a disk. so i tried loading that and when i goto settings i get this.
SETTINGS/INFO
in yellow. NETWORK
in blue. TYPE - nothing here
in blue IP- 0.0.0.0
in blue- LINE STATUS 100/full duplex
in blue - Ethernet mac addy
then in white a whole bunch of stuff.
setup network- YES
use static ip- NO [is default i try to change ot yes but won't let me save. only exit]
IP 192.168.0.2
subnetmask. 255.255.255.0
default gateway- 192.168.0.1

and alot more but i won't post unless you guys need more info.
i keep looking and looking every where. for some reason i just can't get into the BOX from the PC to upload the evo-x dash and get into the HDD to get games off the BOX.
$#!^^%$&#$ LOL

Hi guys, i've got the same problem using slayers v2.6 and 2.5 off the Cd.but mine said IP 192.168.200 Default Gway 192.168.1.1 .the lights on the back of xbox nic light up theres traffic. I've updated bios to 4981.67 (with programmer). tried 2 comps xp & 98se, 2 Xover cables, 3 nic cards. 0.0.0.0 thats all it shows every time.

So you went down to the bottom of the page and hit
"save and exit", or does this chioce not appear at all?

The default gateway should be something like "255.255.255.0"
and the ip (if ur using a router) should be sumtin like 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.2.1 or sumtin like that

255.255.255.0 would be the subnet mask address, not gateway
192.168.1.1/2.1/0.1/ are usually used for the gateway IP
and are called default gateway addresses, not IP address.

Use this link it is the best Netwoking tut that I have seen and will answer all your questions if read carefully.

right i go to the bottom and in yellow it says EXIT and then in white EXIT.. no option to save. as i can't save the EVO-x to my HDD, it's only on disk boot. the mediacenter from X-DISK IS on my HDD..

You cant change the settings on the CD/DVD as the settings are on the disk which is a ROM (read only memory) either load the Dash on to the HDD or open the original disk ISO edit it to the Network settings you want make it an ISO and burn it back on to the disk (assuming you are using a CD-RW.

actually i read something EXACTLY like that somewhere else.. pretty much word for word. thing is i can't set the XBOX and save then reboot. the ip won't show up in the BLUE parts. but i am connected. 100/duplex thins is good when i connect the cables.just can't FTP using FLASH FXP say's connecting to myxbox then.. connection failed /timed out.

Can I get this straight are you booting from a CD or the HDD ?

ok thats a great start.. so your telling me i can go back on the evo-x disk and set the ip and what not? i did it on a dvd-r but .. idk i'll do what it takes ot get going. remember though i am getting a IP showing up but the blue part says 0.0.0.0 the IP i get that i can change but not keep set is in white, and it's 198.168.0.2 as i posted b4.

x-disk mediacenter is on HDD the EVO-X dash is on DVD-r. i can get it to load up no problem at all.. just can't FTP to my box can't connect to use my comp to get into box HDD.

Ok you need to edit this then reburn the DVD, use static ip to YES. this will then asign the IP to that listed.

You could also enable Intenet Connection Sharing on you PC which will make it a DHCP server that will issue an ip address that you can FTP to on the original disk

can yuo give me some idea how to change it on the disk? I.E. where to find it to change it b4 reburing?
again i thank you and the others for your help in this.

How did you make the original disk? If you started with an ISO and burned it to a DVD you need to open the ISO so you can see the individual files. In Evox the should be an ini file that you can open to see the Network settings as displayed in the dash.

What operating system is your PC?

nevermind i found it. i'm going ot try the reburn now.. *crosses fingers*
i'll let ch'all know what happend.

ok i did what you said to do and when i try to connect on FLASH FXP.. i get this
[R] Connection failed (Connection refused)

the blue areas are still empty and wheni have the cable linked up , the IP shows as 0.0.0.0
static is now YES

is your username xbox password xbox ?

yup.. i'm telling yuo all. i have read 10000's or FAQ's and help tips and all that, i'm 29 so i'm not that big of a NOOB, i'm a noob but..lol. it's linked to PC just not getting a IP[ to show up in the BLUE parts.

ok i changed the comp IP's again but this time i rebooted COMP.. worked. gave me a IP in blue.. woot right?? well. nope. i can't FTP still.. UGGGG. i keep getting that one step closer but.. then i get shut down. but i'm closer then i was 6 days ago.

If your running ICS on the pc it enables the XP firewall by default. Try disabling the firewall in the properties of the local area connection NIC.

it's off i made sure of it. error i get from flash fxp is.. connection failed.. no route to host.

Are the pc and xbox set to dhcp? ICS works best when both the host pc and connected device are set to DHCP. change your settings in evox back to DHCP before you burn the disc, then
have your pc up and running before you put the evox disc in and boot up.
then try both port and passive mode in ftp.

Done.. thank you project. and the others. i got it going. but now my mediacenter is gone. evo-x loads up fine and on it's own now, and i can FTP just fine. but now can some one help me get mediacenter back on my box? lol

assuming the f drive is enabled in evox, just download media center from xbins if you dont have it already, and ftp it back to the xbox f:\apps directory.

Thankz project722. i edited .ini on slayers reburned 4x cdrw lol . ftpin' now Thankz 2 all.
