little help connecting xbox to pc

[AXmichigan]

okay so windows xp is easiest to work with
no offense slim but followin standard IPing protocal will do the trick
if u found somethin else
congrats
so frequency, do the following
first your computer
goto start, control panel
goto network connections
second click to properties
the click the tci/ip and click properties
for static ip put in: 192.168.0.2
then the subnet will fill in itself
then goto defeault gateway and up in 192.168.0.1
then click done or whatever
and allow it to adjust and reset
also put on show indication when connected (whatever the words are)
(for your reference, you are not supposed to connect the two till both are set, obviously, but just making sure)
then goto your xbox
let evox load
then goto system utils or whatever
then goto settings
then scroll down a lil bit
you should see static ip and such
first of all, if it is not enabled, select yes for static ip
then goto static ip and fill in: 192.168.0.157
* quall 8) *
then the subnet mask should be the same as on the computer
and finally the defaulty gateway should be 192.168.0.1 (same as the computer)
click power off
then put the cat5(e) into your computer
let it recognize theres a crossover/straight cable (if you are using a hub)
then turn on your xbox
it should say on the bottom right of your computer that its connected
open up flashfxp
goto quickconnect
say connect to 192.168.0.157
type xbox/xbox for username/password
click connect
and you should have all the hard drives
