I need a FTP expert!

My setup:
Operating System= Windows 98
Xbox= Version 1.0
Modchip= Xecuter 2.6 Lite Plus
Bios= X2_5028
Bootdisk= EvoX

(I just created my boot disk and inserted it into my DVD tray....The EvoX menu appears)

Ok....I want to connect my PC to my Xbox with just a Crossover Cable. I have a RJ-45 network cable and have placed one end into my Xbox and the other into my PC.
*I have no router or hub on this computer. My internet connection is cable modem connected to my computer by my USB port*

1. So here I go.....I open up the Start menu/ then settings/ then control panel/ then Network. Then I went down to my TCP/IP-> linksys LNE100Tx(v5) Fast Ethernet Adapter (this is where my Xbox is connected to via crossover cable)

2. I highlight this Adapter and then go to properties. Under IP address, I selected Specifiy an IP address. It looks like this.
IP Address: 192.168.0.2
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
I hit OK and then restarted my computer.

3. Before I burned my Evox, I configured the Evox.ini. It looks like this.


[Network]
SetupNetwork = Yes
StaticIP = Yes
Ip = 192.168.0.3
Subnetmask = 255.255.255.0
Defaultgateway =
DNS1 = 0.0.0.0
DNS2 = 0.0.0.0
[FTP]
Enable = Yes
Password = xbox
IGR = No

4. Then I powered up my Xbox with the EvoX boot Cd. My mod switches are
Mod= On
Flash=On
Bank= 1
Then I went to system utilities/ then settings......my Network info looks like it does above.
5. I opened up FlashFXP and from the menu at top I selected sites/ then site manager/ then new site (at the bottom) I named it MyXbox entered
Ip = 192.168.0.3
Port= 21
User Name= xbox
Passwork= xbox
Hit apply and then Connect

6. I get Connection failed(connection timed out)Is my internet connection interfearing with the connection to my Xbox?

7.Please Help and be Explicit.....I'm a newbie and don't understand anything I'm doing(right or wrong).

8.Sorry for repeating a thread some else had...but if I understood any of the tutorials or other thread I wouldn't have made this one so explicit. Thanks!

I have a cable modem hook up through my USB port. I've installed a brand new ethernet card (LNE100TX). I booted up EvoX on my xbox. I connected by xbox to the PC using a crossover cable. The lights on the card do not light up.
Troubleshooting
After seeing the Line Status was--->NO LINK! on the EvoX dashboard I tried the following.
1. I unplugge the crossover cable from the Xbox and plugged it into my modem. The new ethernet card lit up. (from here I assumed that the NIC was working properly)
2. I then Unplugged the crossover cable from the computer, plugged into the modem and left the other end connected to the Xbox. The Line Status changed from--->NO LINK!<--- to--->100 FULL DUPLEX. (from here I assumed that he Xbox was working properly and the cable was working properly)
3.Then I reconnected the Xbox to the PC. (again no light on my computer's NIC)(and Line Status is--->NO LINK!)
What is the problem?

Ok... if you can connect to your modem with the cable you are using then it is not a cross over cable. It is a straight through cable.

Modems are DCE devices and your Xbox/PC are DTE devices. Like devices need cross over cables... different devices need straight through... you have the wrong cable.

Just in case you've already overlooked it, you must have the cable connected at both ends before switching on the Xbox.

Thanks Martin C.....It was a patch cable I was using. Big Noob mistake I know. The SOB at Circuit City told me it was a crossover cable. He'll pay!!!

Anyway thanks for all you post. I'm up and running now.

Catalyst...sorry about that. I should of gave you the credit. You had said it wasn't a crossover first. This just goes to show that even GEEK SQUAD can steer you wrong. Damn Circuit City!
