First thanks to OpJose and everyone else for the work done regarding XBOX live.

Ok, here's my comment/question.

I have the evox bios, and dash. I disable my chip via mode 3 whenever I go onto Live and play away. Its great by the way. Nothing better than NFL2K3 online baby.

OK, here's my issue. Everytime I disable my Matrix chip so I can go online, when I try to connect it can't. It takes me to the network troubleshooter. I have to go into ip settings and change my settings in the ip settings menu from manual to automatic. I then go back and can connect with no problem.

Now to my question. Is there a way to fix this so I don't have to reset my ip setting every time I go online?

Its really not that big of a deal, but I haven't read anything about this.

I assume it has something to do with evoxdash doing soomething to the ip settings for ftp reasons, etc. I'm not sure.

i'm having the same problem. i got it to work somehow before, then it messed up agian after i loaded drive c back from a backup.

anyways, it won't help me since i'm banned now, but would be nice to know that anyways.

Check your evox.ini file. Chances are you have it set to statically set up the IP address, but don't have the DNS servers listed (actually they're probably still listed as 0.0.0.0). You either need to set up evox to get these automatically like you're changing your xbox live to do, or you need to add the static DNS servers along with the static IP and gateway. Let me know if you have any trouble with this.

I will look at that when I get home. How would I go about telling evox to obtain the ip automatically? Could someone write how the .ini should look?

Thanks, any other responses are welcome.

ok, here's the thing, i have my settings put into evox.ini already.

that's not the problem. with those settings, i am able to ftp to it with my pc. problem i have is that i'm behind a nat. so, i have to use internal ip's to use for ftp, but i need external ip to get xbox live to work with it, and that's why i need xbox live to be set to automatic.

mine isn't like that. i even tried setting the xbox as the dmz host.

anyways, problem is fixed if it is set to automatic ip address. otherwise it won't connect. but yeah. i just need it to STAY on automatic ip config setting.

Or change the networksetup= line in your evox.ini to NO, and I believe your xbox should get all it's in (IP, gateway, and DNS) via DHCP, the same as when you set your network to automatic in the live dash - but I'm not 100% sure on that one just because I've never tried it myself. In fact, when you set your xbox to automatic, you'll find you can still ftp to it using the internal address, it's probably just a different address handed out by your router than the one you manually assigned.

Does anyone know if I do that to the .ini file will it work?

uhmm...here's the strange thing.

i never set a manual ip address for my xbox. my router automatically gave it one, and it was recorded in evox.ini without me doing ANYTHING! so, that's strange of course. hmm...oh well. we have bigger fish to fry right now.

Hah, this is akin to saying...

"solve my problem for me."

Guess what, the solution when it comes, will apply to everyone.

Well, I didn't know it was something that hadn't been solved yet. I figured there was something you had to do in the .ini file or something so that when I use live with my mod disabled I wouldn't have to reset my ip settings to automatic every time so it would connect.
I assume there are other Matrix users with this issue. Those who are having a problem similar to my first post in this thread, please respond. Same with those of us with a Matrix on mode 3 that don't have the issue.

Thanks.

Make your settings the same, and it will connect.

It sounds easy and that's all you have to do.

If your setup in xbl is manual, make sure that your setup the exact same way in Evox as static config.

If your setup in xbl as automatic. make sure Evox is setup for automatic. Be sure you MAC address is spoofed to be the same because your DHCP server hands out IP addresses based upon your MAC address. You'll want the same ip address assigned in both cases so you'll want the same MAC address.

If everything is the same, it will work.

How do I make the settings in Evox automatic?

Thanks for the help.

modify the .ini file with the settings you want evox to use on every execution of evox.
