Does Flashing The Drive Kill The Network?
« on: October 06, 2007, 07:28:00 PM »

I bought a 360 from fleebay and fixed it with the xclamp fix (found here)

I just found out that the xbox had been flashed to read burned games - but I can't connect to the internet.  I have another and it does just fine.

it is a Samsung DVD drive, and the box works well as long as it is not connected through my router.

I have tried dhcp and static ip with the correct gateway/ip/mask - nothing.

Is there something I need to do to turn this on - or is the network pooched?

Thanks - any help greatly appreciated.

Have you tried rebooting your router?

Dont forget your primary and secondary dns server addresses, anyhow you should have been ok with dhcp. When you do a connection test in your 360, what are the failiures?

I have at least four other computers on my home network at any given time - and a laptop that is always ad-hoc a couple of times a day.  I have also tried entering the primary and secondary dns server for both my isp (in the router) and the router, itself.

When I do a connection test - it fails.


Like I said - I picked this off fleebay, and it shows that it is connected to another PC - 'Stundent 52379:1' and I can't get rid of it.  It seems dead...


Would this work with a wireless if my ethernet is toast?  Or does the flash that was used disable the ethernet hardware?

have you tried hitting 'restore to factory defaults' in the network settings? sounds like it stuck/forced using the previous settings...

Well - here is something simple -

I changed the network cord - and now it works.

now I have a new problem - the box has been flashed, and is banned.

Oh well...  I guess I have a standalone.
