Go to the alternate config tab, so you won't have to change it back when you connect to the net.

Set the ip to what ever you want.
subnet: 255.255.255.0
gateway: 192.168.0.1

Use the following DNS:
0.0.0.0

Thanks, that worked! So now I can see whats in the C,E,F,X,Y,Z folder of this X-box. I was going to try and make an ISO of one of my game discs just to test it to see if I can make a working backup. What sybolizes the X-box DVD rom drive anyway? How can I back up a game using nero once I figure out where the disc files are. Or do I have to put the game files on the Xbox harddrive first instead of trying to read them from the disc drive? Probably more to it, but can you shed some more light on the subject for me?

The DVD-Drive of the xbox is D:. In order to make a backup you first FTP all files from the D: drive when the disc is inserted into the xbox.

Start Qwix and select create ISO. Burn the ISO with Nero or DVD Decrypter... I prefer DVD Decrypter.

There is no need to start XboXFTP or any app on the xbox in order to move from xbox to PC. Simply start the xbox up with the chip on and boot into the dashboard (EvoX or whatever). Go to your PC and start the FTP transfer.
XboxFTP is for transfer between 2 xbox's and boxplorer is simply a filemanager for the xbox.

Once I put a disc in the X-box I loose the connection, I'm assuming this is becuase the game starts. Also a D: folder never appears, just C,E,F,X,Y,and Z in Qwix. Does Evox or whatever he might have start automatically or is there something I have to do to start it? I see a file in his X-box C: folder in Qwix named XOdash so I'm guessing thats the name of the dashboard it has but I can't find where to make it start in his X-box applications.

How is the dash looking when you start the xbox?
Are you presented with the standard green xbox dashboard? Or are you presented a menu that contains options similar to "Launch DVD", "Emulators" and so on?

Whenever you insert a disc does it starts instantly? If so take a look if you can find any settings and look for "autostart game"...

A little note here; I can see the D: drive no matter if there is a game in or not. It will always be there for me, atleast when using Avalaunch or EvoX.

I found the autostart option and shut it off. Now I can see and read the D: folder with Qwix.
How do I back up this game since Qwix will only allow me to select one subfolder at a time to create an ISO? What option in Nero or DVD decrypter do I use to burn the ISO once I figure out how to create one? Do I need to name the ISO something in particular or does that matter?

[kosmiq]

Simply select D: and press make ISO... Name will not matter, the ISO will contain all files and be valid anyway.

Once you have gotten the iso done burn it with Nero, simply done by pressing Burn Image.

Using DVD Decrypter you must first change from "Read" to "Write" mode. Then it will be very simple...

Selecting D: with Qwix and then trying to create an ISO of that folder, I get this message in Qwix.... D: is not a valid remote folder.... So I tried transfering the files to my harddrive using flashFXP and just for testing something I read somewhere else, I also tried using Internet explorer to do the job. Both worked fine but IE was easier to use.
So at this point I had the needed files in a folder on my harddrive and decided to backup 2 games for testing purposes (GTA SA and House of the Dead 3). I made ISO images using Qwix of both games from my harddrive and then chose DVD Decrypter to do the backup. First I tried GTA SA using DVD Decrypter but after inserting the backup disc into the X-box player it failed to load. Next I tried HOTD3 and did the same thing and walla it worked! My first Xbox backup DVD! Then I decided to redo the GTA SA backup DVD but again it didn't work. Maybe this game has some kind of copy protection on it?....... Any advise?
