Help With Flash Fxp Direct Connection To Pc
« on: February 03, 2008, 06:20:00 PM »

I had my Xbox connected thru a router but Im looking to connect the Xbox directly to my PC's network card.  Im running Avalaunch and its saying that there is no link.  Ive checked the IP addresses on my Xbox and PC and they seem to be set up correctly but it's not working.  Could anyone direct me either to a previous post on how to connect directly to the PC or shed some light on what could be going wrong.  Thanks!

You need to use a crossover cable when connecting two PCs or a PC and an Xbox.

Is that different than a normal ethernet cable?

OK so I tried a different cable and found that there is a differnce in cables.  But now Avalaunch is giving me an IP with err after it and Flash FXP is giving me the following message

[R] Connecting to XBox -> IP=10.0.10.218 PORT=21

Make sure your Xbox and PC have the same settings except the last number on the IP address. Make the Xbox one higher or one less.

Use password xbox and username xbox. All lower case.

Also in the Avalaunch dash it's showing me the IP but with err after the address.  So I'm assuming there is some sort of error on the Xbox that I can't figure out.
