I bought a X-Bit chip and put it in with no problems.
I ran the X-Bit flash program on # 4 of the 6 and wrote to the #4, Bios 4 256K, using the Xecuter2.4981 Bios. I only wrote to the one, was not sure if I needed to do it to all in the #4 slot.

After turning my box back on using the Xecuter2 it showed it on my XBox start-up screen, So I guess that it working fine, ( I think ).

I'm running windows xp and trying to connect my computer and Xbox using a crossover cable. The cable goes from my PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter card in my PC to my Xbox.

Computer IP = 192.168.1.4
Subnet Mask = 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway = 192.198.0.1

Xbox IP = 192.168.0.2
Subnet Mask = 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway = 192.198.0.1

I keep reading about setting your xbox to a static IP in order for it to work but not sure where to find it on my box, been all over.

I go to use FXP, I hit quick connect at the top.
for server or Url I put the IP address for my Xbox.
Name and password I use xbox.
( not even sure if that is the right name and password )
I hit connect and it tells me connection failed.

What am I doing wrong?

Your IP settings are wrong:

Computer IP = 192.168.1.4
Subnet Mask = 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway = 192.198.0.1

Xbox IP = 192.168.0.2
Subnet Mask = 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway = 192.198.0.1

Amend this to:

Computer IP = 192.168.0.1
Subnet Mask = 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway =========

Xbox IP = 192.168.0.157
Subnet Mask = 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway = 192.168.0.1

Static IP settings will be in evox.ini. Change it to Yes. Furthermore, please read the STICKYS

gotta make sure the xbox has a static ip also gotta make sure you have a crossover cable and not just a straight cable! i had the same problems with mine until i realized the cable was the whole problem
