I don't think it would be the cable if the lights on the NIC and XBox are on.

I think its mostly likely a problem with IP address.

Mite want to check your EvoX INI.
Heres how mine looks. Mind you, mine is set up for my network and mostly isn't the same set up you have.

SetupNetwork = Yes
StaticIP = Yes
Ip = 192.168.2.100
Subnetmask = 255.255.255.0
Defaultgateway = 192.168.2.1
DNS1 = 207.192.213.13
DNS2 = 207.192.213.22


Now for you I would set you PC up as:
Ip = 192.168.1.10
Subnetmask = 255.255.255.0
Defaultgateway = 192.168.1.10

And on your XBox side set up as:
Ip = 192.168.1.100
Subnetmask = 255.255.255.0
Defaultgateway = 192.168.1.10



Now lets just say you did the way I would set it up.
Plug every thing in, turn on your XBox and let EvoX to boot.
Go into settings and make sure it has an IP address you set it as.

Then go back to your PC, click SRART, Run, and type command and hit OK. You should see a DOS screen. From there type ping 192.168.1.100 If you get a return great, open up your FTP software and get in. If not, some thing else is wrong.
