okay so your pc connects to a router and you have plugged your xbox into your router! that's fine

is your router configured to use DHCP? you will be able to tell - when you enable network flashing in Flashbios it will either say dhcp failed or assign you an ip address. Let me know what happens at this point please. if it gives you an ip address let me know it.

what IP address is your PC?

no, there are two types of network cable:

one for connecting to a hub/switch/router

and one for connection pc directly to xbox - called a crossover cable

sounds to me the easiest way would be to connect your xbox to your router. it will then get an ip address via dhcp and will simplify the whole process.

I need help, I have had my modded box for about 6months. It is a 1.0 edition xbox with an x3 modchip in it and just recently it said that I don't have the flash bios. I tried to follow the directions to make one but it just never works. the box works totally fine without the mod chip enabled but I relally want to have it back. What do I do?!!!
