Hi,

 Think I've found a bug...I seem to be able to do it quite often...

When I visit a page, I click the white button to get the URL input screen.  Then i enter rubbish by simply pulling the left and right trigger buttons.  Then I hit the "start" button which is "Enter" for linksboks.  Anyway, that usually causes it to crash.

Mate hat's off to you, I have'nt been checking scene for a while and look what happens!
We've been theorising on something like this for far too long.
I'll be checking it out ASAP, can't wait to have a looksee.

Finally I'll be able to put my logitec cordless kb/mouse combo to good use (well once you get that bit updated!)

Absolutely fantastic, now I can check xbox-scene, nba & soccer scores from my living room and bookmark a tv guide woohoo!

your page says that javascript is currently disabled. When will you make this work?

Also, if you want to just buy those USB converters rather than making them yourself, let me know and i'll make you some and ship them to you.

this project kicks ass and i can't wait to have javascript and keyboard support.

? I really like Linksboks - and I am eager to use my keyboard with my xbox. Can you give us an ETA for keyboard support?

Best regards & keep up the good work - it IS appreciated.

I've been reading and havn't seen any help on this subject with people using two nics, rather than a router.

I'm using two nics (two network cards). My dash is Evox, and MXM is linked within Evox (Evox is my startup dash). Yes I'm having trouble getting Linksboks to pull up a web page. I'm getting the host not found message (I think, I remember host in the message). It goes through the "looking for host, about 10-15 secs. Then host not found.

OK this is what I have.

Cable modem
From modem, ethernet cable to PC.
From PC, crossover ethernet cable to Xbox.

Evox
SetupNetwork   = Yes
StaticIP                   = Yes
Ip      = 169.254.140.165
Subnetmask   = 255.255.255.0
Defaultgateway   = 0.0.0.0
DNS1      = 0.0.0.0
DNS2      = 0.0.0.0
SkipIfNoLink   = No
SetupDelay   = 10

I've tried some of the suggestions mentioned in this topic, but none seem to work, so I put the .ini file back to the way it was in evox.

When inputing ipconfig /all, I get this. (these aren't my actual #'s, but we'll use them as an example).

PC ipconfig /all ===

I wasn't sure whats important, so I gave it all.
How do I use this to get my copy of linksboks working?

--------------------
Also I guess I should add.

Firewall is turned of (Norton)
Nic 1 = Reltek - PC
Nic 2 = Aopen - Xbox

I'm able to FTP, and play system link games over the internet with Xlink and xbconnect with the way it's set up now.

My Aopen Nic for the xbox is setup like this on my PC. Using Win XP.

"Use the following IP address" option is checked.
IP Address:------------  169.254.140.1 (real #'s)
Subnet Mask:---------- 255.255.255.0  (real #'s)
Default Gateway:------ 0.0.0.0            (real #'s)

"Use the following DNS server address" option is checked
Preffered DNS server----- _._._._        (no #'s here)
Alternate DNS server----- _._._._        (no #'s here)

The easiest option you have without messing everything up is to run a proxy server software on your PC (quick googleing returned this one which looks good enough), configure it properly and fill in the Network>HTTP proxy>HTTP proxy option in LinksBoks with 169.254.140.1:<<whatever port you chose>>

You may have to reconfigure your firewall to allow incoming traffic on that port (but only from the "Xbox" network interface!)

Good luck...

OK, I downloaded the program, and enter the IP inside of Linksboks like you said. I'm not sure what settings I need to change in the proxy program to make it work. Here are the options in the program. Just tell me what I need to change.
















Also, about config my firewall to allow Linksboks to work. Can I just disable it and it work that way as well? I'm using Norton Internet Security. Or better yet, what would I need to change here?







One more thing. I was looking around on the proxy website from the download, and came across this. Do I need to do this?

[ysbox]

If it doesn't work even without the firewall, I'm stuck. Try to configure the proxy in IE like your last screenshot said, just to check that the proxy server works; for HTTP, server is 169.254.140.1, port is 808. Remove this afterwards.

G'luck

Then make sure your proxy in LinksBoks is something like "169.254.140.1:808".

Put it in exactly like that, so it reads "169.254.140.1:808" in the  Linksboks file.



Ok, put it in exactly like that within Linksboks. I disabled my firewall at the moment for testing. Now when I try to access www.google.com from xbox/Linksboks, I get error message " ERROR LOADING PAGE http://www.google.com" and "ERROR READING FROM SOCKET". Looks like the host not found message I was getting before, just different message, but same graphics.

I also tried that last step your suggested (config proxy in IE). Once I do this, what am I suppose to do to see it helps. I tried connecting to the web through linksboks afterwards, with no luck. The reason I ask is because in your post you say "just to check that the proxy server works". Not sure if there is a step there I haven't taken to see if it works.

I apologize for being so stupid, and I'm not going to make up any excuses like, " I'm half asleep". When it comes to this I'm stupid. Also thanks YSBOX for your time and help. I appreciate it.

[okayama]

I got it working finally. I wouln't have gotten it working if it wasn't for you YSBOX, so thank you for your time and effort. Here's where my problem was. At this step ( pic below ), I put my IP in like you said, but when I went back to double check all the steps. I noticed the IP wasn't there anymore.

The thing I didn't do is, that little box to the right of the IP area. I should have put a check in there to save that setting. Also, I opened port on my firewall. Is that going to be a problem?

[ysbox]

Glad you made it work, congrats.

What I meant by "opening the TCP port 808" is: you should keep your firewall on but find a way to make a rule that says "allow traffic coming from <xbox ip> to 169.254.140.1 on port 808 (TCP)". If you can also choose the interface (that is, the NIC) where the traffic comes from, allow it only for your Xbox-PC link. That way there won't be any additional security threat to your system.

I don't know how to do that. Would I make those changes in my Norton firewall options, or Network connections on the Windows side.

I just wanted to say that linksboks is awesome!  It's working great in 480p on my HDTV.  Haven't tried 1080i as I only have one HD input that's being used at the moment.  Too lazy to unplug and make the change.  Great piece of software.

Hi there,
Where can I download the binary of LinksBoks??
