ftp to xbox

[rusticoar]

Ok I have ftp'd to my xbox many times without a problem. However i got tired of unplugging my internet connection to do it. So i installed another ethernet card so i could keep my box hooked up and still have internet connection. However, now it doesn't work. I have an internet connnection and my computer recognizes the second card (and that something is plugged into it). Though i can't ftp to the xbox. I checked my ip for the second card and the ip (on auto config) is 192.168.2.36. however when i set my xbox to 192.168.2.(anything), the request times out. In cmd when i ping the set up address, i get 100% loss. I am using a crossover cable to connect to the box. What changes should i make in flashfxp to accomidate? Is what i want to do possible? Also if it is...is it possible to connect to the internet from my xbox through my computer with that setup and still have a network with my roommates?

Try fixing your PC ethernet card's IP address, rather than using auto-discovery, i.e. PC: 192.168.0.100, 255.255.255.0, Xbox: 192.168.0.101, 255.255.255.0.

Yes, on your NIC card settings at TCP/IP use an static IP address (as you have used before to connect your xbox)....

For some strange reason, when I used the above IP's it did the same. I set PC to 192.168.0.1 & XBOX to 192.168.0.3 with subnet of 255.255.255.0 and now works a treat!

Glad you're sorted! It's not a strange reason though - that's the way it works! The last segment of each IP address must be unique (between 1 & 254 but not identical) for the subnet you're using - otherwise you won't get comms. The first 3 segments of the IP address stay the same. (254 nodes on a subnet)

If the subnet is 255.255.0.0, the last 2 segments of each IP address can be unique, with the first 2 segments being the same. (192.168.x.x). With this you can have 254 x 254 nodes on the subnet.
