this may be a stupid question but if i run the xover cabledoes my cable modem still have to be connected to connect the ftp? i only ask this cause i have only 1 network card and no hub.

sorry but i am a noob to this.

Just connect your RJ45 crossover cable from your xbox directly to your PC's NIC.

Forget about the cable modem for now.

Make sure the TCP/IP properties for the LAN connection are set right.

You may need to reboot the xbox after everything is connected.

Wogboy if you have an XBox network cable (the official one they sell to link XBoxes for multi-player Halo and such), that is a crossover cable so you don't have to make or buy one.

thanks pondscum, got it working.

ok i got a crossover cable now and i followed everything on the tutorial but when i try to connect using flashxp, it'll try to connect but after a few seconds it'll say connection time out?

wogboy: yep i changed my pc's ip to 192.168.0.1 like the tutorial said, it's the same as my xbox's dedault getaway but still can't connect. any ideas why?

Yes...just turn it around and look. Also dont forget to get a cross-over cable. A router is the way to go as you can leave your IP service and Xbox connected at the same time.
