xbmc engine ip address question

[YAKABOUSKI]

I have two NIC's (one wireless and one wired) with the wireless hooked up to the internet and the wired hooked up to my modded xbox. When I have booted with the modchip off it works fine but with the chip on and running xbmc it will not work. I tried to adjust the settings but it has not worked. My question is this: Is the engine ip address the public ip address from my wireless NIC (24.195.blah blah blah) or is it the static 192.168.1.1 ip address from my wired NIC?

So, you are running 2 nics on the xbox? XBMC is currently configured to only use ONE as far as I am aware. And what "engine" are you talking about?

 

[YAKABOUSKI]

No. I'm running two NIC's on the pc. one nic is wireless for internet and the other is wired and has the xbox connected to it via crossover cable. in settings>programs>xlink kai> there is a box labled engine ip address. would i put the wired nic's ip address or the wireless nic's ip address here?

I would tell it to look at the wired one. i assume you have set up windows ICS which sets the pc's ip to 192.168.0.1(for the nic that is connected to the xbox) you need to set your xbox ip to 192.168.0.[another number] and set the subnet to 255.255.255.0 and the default gateway to 192.168.0.1 in xbmc settings. then set the kai ip address to 192.168.0.1 and it should work !

Hey,
You need to setup your PC's NIC and the xbox for Static IP. You also need a crossover cable. A regular patch cable will not work.
In the properties of the PC's NIC choose "Use the Following IP".
Enter 192.168.0.100
255.255.255.0
Default gateway is not needed but if you want put 192.168.0.1

For the xbox use 192.168.0.200
255.255.255.0
Again the gateway is not needed but if you really want to put 192.168.0.1

You should now be ready to connect. If you have trouble go to the dos prompt and ping the xbox and post what comes up.

OK, Kai, XBOX IP (static or dynamic is up to you) default gateway is router IP (or whereever your net comes in) and the "engine" is the local IP of the computer your hosting the engine on (unless you get a G router and flash it to host the engine so you dont have to keep your computer on all the damn time).

Example:

XBox IP (Currently DHCP): 192.168.1.49
Engine (PC Terminal): 192.168.1.2
Router IP (Default Gateway): 192.168.1.1

Hope it helps
