Can't connect through FTP

[Muay_thai_micky]

Hi guys

This is a long post so brace yourselves.

Got my X3CE chip on weds and seem to be having problems with everything so far, mostly my fault no doubt But I have got this far...

Got chip in and working
Flashed the 3108 BIOS
Made an EvoX dash boot CD

All the above work, and I can load EvoX from the CD, but I cant FTP to it. I've read alot of tutorials but have made minimal progress. I'm using a crossover cable connected to what I'm guessing is the motherboard network adapter, not a seperate card.
Atm i can ping my XBox and that works, Windows XP notifies me when I turn the XBox off and vice versa. I've tried connecting to it with Craxtion 4 and FlashFXP but no luck.
With Craxtion I get a message saying that it can't connect and to check my IP, ports and passwords. With FlashFXP I get a message saying 'Connection refused' after about a second of trying to connect.

My Evox.ini network settings are...

[Network]
SetupNetwork = Yes
StaticIP = No
Ip = 192.168.0.9
Subnetmask = 255.255.255.0
Defaultgateway =
DNS1 = 0.0.0.0
DNS2 = 0.0.0.0
SetupDelay = 0
SkipIfNoLink = No


My comp settings are...

Ip = 192.168.0.9
Subnetmask = 255.255.255.0
Defaultgateway =


When both of these are the same I can ping, if I change my comp IP to 192.168.0.10 the request times out.

The first tutorial I followed was this one...
http://www.xbox-scene.com/articles/network.php

I follow it to the letter (except I am not using a router for the net, I am using a USB broadband modem) with the exception of this part - "next while still in the properties of the nic. click on the configure button.. then click on the advanced tab. then click on network media and set it to 10baseT full duplex."
I go to the advanced tab but have no 'network media', all i have is Adaptive inter-frame spacing, enable PME, flow control, jumbo frames and quite a few more.


Any ideas guys? Anything else that I need to add? I've been trying to get this to work for about 9 hours! It's killing me!

Thanks for any help.

Your computers IP and your xbox IP shouldnt match. It causes errors with the routers and network. I had this problem. What i did to fix:

Booted up evo-x
Checked IP
ftp://xbox:[email protected]
and wewt wewt

I also used mine thru a router tho. duno what you have to do with crossover cables

 

[Muay_thai_micky]

Thanks, but no luck.

Tried it with the same IP and with different IPs, still not working

Just had a thought, would flashing the chip to a different BIOS, 3029 for example, fix this?

 

[pieling2u]

no, are you logging into your FTP with username password?
default name for evox: xbox
default password for x3: x3
ftp://xbox:[email protected]

I think one of the lines in your evox.ini is wrong. You need static ip = yes or youneed a DNS setting for that setup? I could be wrong. But to get it working don't boot the evox CD, instead boot into X3CL.
Follow these settings and it should work.

Xbox- ip = 192.168.0.09
PC - ip = 192.168.0.10
Static ip = yes

leave subnet mask as it is and leave your gateway blank.
Username is x3
password is x3

let me know what happens

 

[Muay_thai_micky]

You two are f***ing geniuses!!

Loaded up the box with just the X3 3108 BIOS, says the IP is 192.168.0.1, wacked it in FlashFXP and bam! All came up!

Just a few more questions, If you can do it like this why have I read tutorials where it says to make the EvoX boot CD and log into EvoX?

And now all I gotta do is copy some EvoX files across after renaming them and back up some stuff and all should be good right? Should load straight into evoX?

Thanks guys, been a massive help! I was thinking I'd wasted my money on a chip that could only change flubber colours!

 

[Rookio]

I believe in the older revisions, you could not ftp into the box until you had loaded a dash (with ftp capability). now it is built into the x3 CL.

Yep, just tranfer the required files like it says in your tutorial.
NOTE: Some older tutorials tell you to rename xboxdash.xbe You dont need to do this, and if you plan to boot with the chip disbaled, then you should not do this. any probs let us know.

 

[Muay_thai_micky]

Nice one, got evoX running.

Thanks for your help, much appreciated!

 

[Rookio]

Always a pleasure

dont feel bad man I had the same prob took me 3 days reading to get mine to work finally I found out for some reason the only program that will connect to my box is flash fxp dont know why but I cant connect to evox either so i just do everything through x3cl

 

[crayon1]

This thread got mine working too. I was trying to FTP through Evol, and then this told me how to do it through X3CL. Much appreciated guys. Everything's OK, FTP working, Dashes working, X3CL working, all skins loading up...the works. AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I still cant get this to work, can someone write out step by step what they did to connect xbox to pc (using crossover method).

Afew questions
Do you need to use a usb cable for your modem as i am using an erthernet cable at the moment?

Do you even need to be connected to the internet?
Please Help! :'(

Just to be clear, do make sure you are using a cross over cable and not just a "patch" cable. If you examine the ends of your Cat5 cable, you should notice that the Green, and WHite-Green wires are switched with the Orange, white-orange wires one one end. That is the "crossover" so the two systems can talk to each other without a Hub in between.

 

[rj4eva44]

Yep using crossover as it says X-OVER on the cable itself and also i can establish a connection between the xbox and pc.

I just dont know how to view the files in ftp, and also when i enter a cuzimised ip in the xbox it resets back to its orginal one. :-S

 

[wiredtoad]

It should be pretty straight forward. Are you using an EVOX Boot CD? or X3CL, either way.

Just set your XBOX to

ip- 192.168.0.11
Subnetmask- 255.255.255.0
gateway - Leave blank or all 0's same with DNS.

Configure your Network cards, TCP/IP properties to be

IP-192.168.0.15
Subnetmask- 255.255.255.0
gateway - Leave blank or all 0's same with DNS.

Then open your FTP client and point it to 192.168.0.11 using a username of x3 if your using XCL or xbox if your using evox. I believe the passwords are the same also. For Evox its xbox and xbox, The password info is higher up in this thread.

I use http://www.smartftp.com/ and it worked just dandy. some of the others game me directory listing issues.

make sure your link light on your Xbox is green, as well as the link light on your PC. That will at least insure your cable is good.

If you can ping the XBOX ip from your PC, you should be able to FTP into it. If not check your settings.
