First, you need to make sure that evox has a static IP if you are choosing not to use use a router. It's been a while since I used evoX.

Anyways, go into the evox settings. Change the IP to static and edit the address to something like 192.168.0.157. Go to the end of the menu and choose "save and exit". Reboot the xbox for the settings to take affect.

You also need to give your PC a static IP. It would be fairly lengthy to explain this part, so I will not explain unless you post here that you need help with it. Make the PC something like 192.168.0.130.

Next, in command prompt on your PC (start->run->cmd) type "ping 192.168.0.157". Change the address to whatever you made the xbox. If you get a reply, then you can connect. If you don't, then you need to troubleshoot that. Post here if you have this problem.

Next, open your favorite ftp app (Filezilla for me) and create a connection. The username and password are both "xbox". Connect to the xbox address using those credentials, on port 21. You should connect.

Please post the part you are having trouble with. Also, make sure you really are using a cross cable. many times, people buy cat5e network cables thinking that they are all the same. Cross-cables are wired differently.
