Connecting my XBOX to my pc
 

Ok, i'm having trouble connecting the two up. I've read all the newbie guides and i can't seem to figure it. I have set both my computer and the xbox to static ips. I am using a cross-over cable so i can directly connect them. Both lights come on at each connection. But when i try to ping the xbox or use flashfxp to connect to the xbox, i get a time out message. What am i doing wrong? BTW, both xbox and computer are on the same network, pc ip - 192.168.0.2
subnet mask - 255.255.255.0
default gateway - 192.168.0.1

xbox ip - 192.168.0.157
subnet mask - 255.255.255.0
default gateway - 192.168.0.1

i'm not sure what version of evox i have, i got it with slayer's auto installer v2.5. So whatever version comes with that, i think its pretty new. Anyhelp would be great.

Try setting your Xbox default gateway IP to 192.168.0.157 (same as your Xbox IP)

I've read on xbox-scene that this may work :)

It is also how I have my PC>Xbox network set up :)

i never hadda change it..
.

well i just went to the evo x menu read off the ip typed in the password and ip and logged in no sweat.

theyre both static right?

Ok, thanks for all the replies. I set the defualt gateway on the xbox to the same as the ip, but it didn't work. Still getting time-out messages. I'm begining to think i've tried nearly every basic combination of ip addresses. Is there anything else i can do?? Is there any site that deals in depth with these problems?? (Besides this one :) ) Could it be a problem with my computer? I network my computer all the time with friends, so i don't know why it would be, but hey, hwat do i know. Any help would be great.

Oh, and another thing, don't know if it means anything, when i turn on my xbox, when it is connected to my computer. At first, the network connection goes, "Local area connection unavaliable, invalid IP address". But it says that for like 2 seconds if that. And then it says the network is working fine. ???? Beats me

Under FlashFXP site settings, select "options" and make sure that "Use Passive" is unchecked.

Ok, I tried that and it still didn't work. I can't ping the xbox ip address either.

do u have xp. i hope you got ur ip address on static beacause i done that thismornin i couldnt connect because the ip address changed.

Yeah both IPs are on static. No i don't have XP i've got windows server 2003. Would that be the problem?
