Media Player And Dial-up
« on: January 20, 2003, 07:20:00 PM »

Hey there, my friend is trying to get his XBox streaming with media player.. but first we need to connect to his xbox by ftp to edit the config..

He has dial-up, with a network card.. he has cross over cable going from the network card in the PC to the card in the XBox..  What all are we gonna have to do, to get his FTP Client on the PC to connect to his XBox which he has given an Internal IP of 192.168.1.20... any help would be great.. Thanks...

Instructions:
1. The first step is to make sure you PC has a static  internal IP address. Go into your NIC's TCP/IP Properties, and check off "Use  the Following IP address:"  Next, where it says IP address, enter: 192.168.0.1.  Where it says Subnet Mask, enter: 255.255.255.0.  Click on Ok, and  exit.

2. If you have loaded the EvolutionX dashboard onto your Xbox, and you want  to assign your Xbox a Static IP, go into Network, and under Static IP, enter: 192.168.0.x (where x is a number from 2 - 255).  For the Default Gateway, enter:  192.168.0.1.

3. If, however, you are using ICS or Winroute on your main PC, you already have a DHCP server, and it really isn't necessary to load the EvolutionX  dashboard onto your Xbox HDD  So in this case, the IP assigned to the Xbox by the DHCP server (on your computer) will be done automatically each time the Xbox is turned on.  In other words, the Xbox will be assigned a dynamic IP, which will be different each time the Xbox is turned on.  The only way to have a  static IP on the Xbox is to follow step 2.
