I used the method described in How to add 2 USB ports to a Joytech XBOX controller to connect USB devices. I used USB female connectors from a USB extension cable.
USB keyboards usually have a hub so you really need only one port. If you do this, make sure you use thin wires, otherwise it can be very difficult to close it up.

I saw posts about your browser in the MXM and UnleashX forums.. both BenJeremy and unleashx have offered to assist you with their knowledge of the downloading support and keyboard support as well.

I'll check this out, thanks

And are you too broke to buy a USB adaptor for the xbox??? I don't understand why you can't get one of them??

I'd send you one for free (if it would help), but I live in the US.. and from my understanding, you are in France... don't know if I could ship it there or not...

I'm not broke thank you very much!
I could buy one by myself, but the "problem" is I never felt I had to use a keyboard on my xbox... though I understand perfectly it will be useful in this case. I'm still considering it like a cool console and an awesome media center, but plugging a mouse/keyboard in it sounds more PCish to me.
Besides, my last keyboard is my trusty Keytronic which is still PS/2 smile.gif

But as I see emails and posts and stuff about "when will there be kb/mouse support?" keeping coming I'm beginning to consider this "investment", so relax wink.gif As I said earlier this looks obvious to do anyway, I have a very clear idea on how to do this, so I'll add the code -providing it doesn't break things- and it might actually work out of the box.

Hmmm, I get an assload of errors when I try to compile with VS.NET.

ysbox,

Is the conversion to .NET breaking the source?

Can you offer any version info on which compiler I should use?


Thanks...

Thank you for the first XBOX based WWW-Browser! It is truly appreciated! Once you add keyboard/mouse support ( I know it has been asked for many times ) it will really rock.

Downloading files will also be very helpful, so the user finds something they want they can simply download it straight to their XBOX.

I am truly amazed that we now actually have a first WWW-Browser because so many people said it could not be done, others said they won't try it because it takes too long to write one, etc. You proved them wrong - THANK YOU!

I have tried to load linksboks on my V1.0 NTSC xbox with 4981.06 bios without success. I have tried Avalaunch 0.48.64, evox 3935, and unleash X, all just lockup on the loading screen and go no further. Everyone else seem to be able to use it, I do not know what is wrong, I am also using the Advanced AV pack with an HDTV, any help would be great, as I'd love to see how this looks in high def.

i have a similar problem, i have tried it on evox, avalaunch, with xecutor 4981 bios, standard av pack, and v1.0 xbox, but it still freezes on the loading screen. is there something i did wrong?

That would be a real timesaver. I would do it myself but I am a loser when it comes to programming  blink.gif

hey guys, love the linksboks

problem though

it starts out fine, but whenever i try to connect to anything, it says "Error : www.website.com - Directry/File not found" I tried with both evox and MXM.
what does that mean?

Sorry if this has been repeated

Yep.. it has been asked.. if you read through this thread you will find that question asked and several different suggestions on how to fix it...

Basically.. it's more then likely a DNS issue...

anyway.. read through this thread.. you'll find your answer...

hey this is a really great tool but i want to actually use it!

i keep getting a "Host Not Found" Error for anything i put as the url and i even used wat was in the preset bookmarks....i dont know why it says this because in mxm it says im connected fine...ill tell u wat it says..

IP: 192.168.0.26 DHCP
Gateway: 192.168.0.1
DNS1: 68.80.0.6
DNS2: 192.168.0.1
Subnet: 255.255.255.0

i cant ftp to my box also...

From your readme file:

NETWORK CONFIGURATION: In order to browse the Web, you must have your network settings properly set up, especially the gateway and the DNS server(s).
**LINKSBOKS DOES NOT CHANGE THOSE SETTINGS**. That means it will use the
settings your dashboard has configured. So make sure you can access the Internet from your dashboard before running LinksBoks. If you are able to get RSS newsfeeds for example, you shouldn't have any problem with LinksBoks.

i havent tried newsfeeds but i am able to ftp like i sed b4 and play on xlink...any suggestions??

Being able to ftp your xbox and play via xlink doesn't mean your DNS settings are correct. If you have a DHCP server on your LAN these settings are normally automatically configured... maybe you can tune them on your router somehow. For example, your gateway probably acts also as a DNS forwarder; you could try to put 192.168.0.1 as your DNS1.

In other news, downloads are now working fine, and keyboard/mouse support is on the way (nearly completed). HDTV modes should be properly initialized too so it will hopefully start in progressive or 1080i mode instead of crashing. I plan to make a video calibration/mode selection screen, but not now...
Expect a new version soon (next week?).
