Modded xbox for a dummy

i was wondering where i could buy a twisted network cable for xbox. and also i was wondering if this would be hard to set up.

You can but a twisted network cable from any computer store. Most places call it a cross-over cable.

However if you are lazy:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16812117810
for a 25ft

or:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...Desc=Crossover
for a list of all cross-over cables.

I choose newegg because they are normally the cheapest and it was easy for me. I'm not trying to advertise here. (Bestbuy had a 25ft regular cable for like $30 in the store)

It wouldn't be hard to set up. Just make both the Xbox and the computer have a static IP and then (like the post before me) log in to your xbox via FlashFXP or SmartFTP.
Now if you mean hard to set up as in hardware wise, just plugin the xbox in one end and the PC in the other. If you have a router the process is slightly different in that your comp is in port 1 (or whatever) and your xbox in port 2 (or whatever) and they don't use crossover cables but regular CAT cables. and each the comp and xbox use different cables.

Also why do you want to patch xbox games. Arn't they normally like ok.

P.S. Newegg Ships to US only and is the cheapest place I could find (i think)

thanks for your help guys. the reason i wanted to get this is because i bought the hulk (ult. destruction) and when i put it on my hard drive it said it needed the disk to play, so i have to patch it. thanks for your help guys you are a life saver

how do you make a static ip? i dont really know much about it. thanks.

First do you have a router or not. Since we were all talking about cross-over cables I'll asume you don't.

Static IP on Xbox: (If you have an X3 change the IP adress in the X3 bios to Static and then choose an IP (192.168.0.5 or anything really make it totally different from your computers IP.) If not just do this. In evox go to the system setup or options and then find the network part. change the IP from dynamic to static and then type in an IP adress (if you had an X3 use the same one) of your choice like 192.168.0.5, anything different to your IP on your computer.

Static IP on Computer:

Just go there, select your OS and then follow the steps (I've only done this with a router so I don't know if this will leave you vunerable to attack)

(P.S. if it asks for the disk than you copied it to the HD wrong)
