I'm trying to connect my computer to my xbox via ftp connection so that i can install the evolutionx dashboard. I have the x3 chip installed and the x3 bios with it. I have been trying to use flashFXP to connect but all i get is a connection timed out error. Am I using the incorrect IP address... or do i need the xbox to be in a certain state to access via ftp. Thanks for the help.
Need help connecting computer to xbox.

I read it somewhere that you need evo x running.
I want to know how to ftp as well. The tutorials on xboxscene just show confusing pc chips and I don't know what certain things mean.

Well...what address are you putting into Flash?
Does it match the address you see on the evox screen? If it doesn't show change to a different skin. Infodash should work.
Next what connection do you have? Router? Crossover cable?
What is the address of your PC?
Do you have a firewall installed that could possibly be blocking your connection?

1) Boot up to X3 Config Live
2) Use IP Address in bottom left hand of screen
3) bring up Flash FXP on your computer
4) Use the IP address from X3CL with the username and password x3
Voilla you are into your box

Do i need to have a crossover cable connected between my computer and my xbox? Right now, my xbox is on the network at school and i'm trying to access through that... probably not the best way... I don't know.
What's your call?

would be best to do it with a crossover, i don't know what kind of port blocking/monitoring/firewalling your school is doing, and they prolly won't tell you if you ask
It's not working... Is there something that i need to do to my computer first, or is there a certain screen that i need to be at with the xbox to make them connect?
Make sure you aren't using just intranet if you are outside of it on the normal internet. If you connect to a computer outside your intranet, or try to connect to a computer on some intranet, numbers change and stuff is funky. Easiest by a ton is use a crossover cable, straight up connect x-box and computer.
I think if you can ping it you should be able to connect, no messing with wires it's the software. One time I had to format my computer (I do it often anyways) so it would work. After a fresh format and reconnect it worked great.
From fresh start, I would connect crossover to xbox and computer, find the ip on the bottom left of screen, go to flashfxp (or even IE, just type the ip) and connect to that ip (maybe something like 192.168.2) type in x3 for username then x3 for password and you should be game.
Edit: I also hear if you have windows xp you need to disable firewall. I have no idea how to do that, windows me heil!

If it's a windows firewall issue, we need to know if you are SP1 or SP2 (or perhaps even no SP). Otherwise, make sure in flashfxp you are not checking the "anonymous" box and that you are entering the ip address that matches the static one xbox assigns itself (mine was 192.168.0.1). I was able to connect with my xbox wired to a wireless hub which i connected to wirelessly. Flashfxp is definitely the way to go with it though, much easier and faster than ie. And it flat out doesnt work with firefox.
try installing evo x by putting it on a disk. When I modded my friends xbox I had a weird situation where the x3 was set to a wrong IP cause the number in the bottom left corner was different from the number the network info on evox was giving me. I had to go into the network setup and change the IP manually. It wouldnt let me ftp until i got both the numbers to match. What was kind of weird also was the ping responded when i pinged the xbox.
oh my freakin god yet another "cant ftp" problem, to those who dont know inorder to ftp ur xbox and pc they MUST be on the same network for ex.
ur xbox ip is 192.168.0.2 this mean that ur xbox is on the 192.168.0.0 network. say you pc ip is 192.168.0.3, this mean that it is on the 192.168.0.0 network so as long and the first 3 octes of the ip are the same u'll be fine
, also keep inmind that the gateway MUST be the same if your useing a crossover cable. also make sure ur xbox's subnet mask is the same as your pc (255.255.255.0).
here's a perfectly working set up with a cross over cable use this and u'll FTP evrey single time ( works with evox, unleashx, ava, configlive whatever it doesnt matter).
please disable all firewall (ICF,Norton,zone alarm, ect.) before tring this
XBOX
Ip type=static
ip=192.168.0.2
Subnetmask=255.255.255.0
Gateway=192.168.0.1
PC
Ip type=static
Ip=192.168.0.3
Subnetmask=255.255.255.0
Gateway=192.168.0.1

how do u disable firewall? can u enable it again? and when u change the pc's ip settings can u change them back and they will work on ehat they were on before?
Do I have to disable firewall to use ftp? I only have one working machine, I can't afford the date loss on it. It's bit risky for me to disable firewall.
It's not risky if you and the xbox are connected to a router/hub which is NOT connected to the internet. You can still use this intranet to ftp the xbox. Try that.
Do i need to update my dashboard?
OK..recently flashed LT1.1 to my benq.
I'm wondering what determines my ability to play new games? I come from a PSP background whereby if you want to play current games then it forces you to update. Is this the case with Xbox as well?
I'm currently running 2.0.8955.0 dash and can play current games such as Just Cause 2. Will future games require me to update my dash in order to play?

Re: Do i need to update my dashboard?
You do have to do an update for newer games when they come out. Someone else can explain better lol.
My system is banned but you can just download the system update and install with a USB stick.

Re: Do i need to update my dashboard?
The dashboard updates come and go as they are released. If you play on XBL then you need to keep ure dashboard updated as you cannot play on live without updating. As for updates you need to update a game when it asks too whenever a game update is released. As long as you keep ure drive updated with the latest FW everything should be ok for the time being.
Hope this helps

Re: Do i need to update my dashboard?
I rarely do online play. So wil this method be safe:
Continue as I am until i come across a game that requires an update to the dashboard.
Get a copy of the update and perform an offline update
I should then be good to go?
And if i ever want to go online (could be X number of updates later) I should
Revert back to stock firmware then go online
Ensure my games are stealthed with abgx360
Flash back to LT 1.1 and then go online?
