help with evox

[dude]

dudes
first i have my modded xbox connected directley to my computers network card and wile using flashfxp and evox 1.8.458 i have no problems every time i boot the xbox i go to network and the xbox generates a new ip address i put this in to flashfxp and use the quick connect button.
every thing works fine.

however when i tried evox 1.8.2594 i loaded evox dash and booted the console i went in to the settings folder this showes ip address/ hd files etc the problem is it does not auto generate a ip address it just stayes on 0.0.0.0 however a little further down the page there is a ip address which stays the same each time i reboot. i put this address into flashfxp but will not connect.
any help would be appreciated.
sorrry if this does not make sence as i am better at explaining things verbally rather than written

p.s i have tried to create a static / fixed ip with both version but this does not work.
i am currentley downloading version 1.8.3285 i will see if this has the same problem as 1.8.2594
