but when I try through the internet with the dynamic IP it just hangs and times-out.

I'm confused!
Are you trying to FTP through internet protocol?

if you are trying to ftp over the internet to your xbox you need to ftp to your router's ip and in your router forward port 21 to the internal address of your xbox.

I didn't mean to use ftp to setup port forwarding...  i meant ftp to his router AND have port forwarding setup on it.

oh, so by over the internet you really mean though that the computer in your house with the one IP from your provider, you are trying to access the xbox in your house with the other ip from your provider?  If that doesn't work it could be something on your provider's end.  Sometimes they don't let you hit other ip's on the subnet you are on since if they divide it a certain way it would just be a bunch of other houses.   Your best bet is to get a router so that you have internal address's (and some protection from the internet) and then could hit the internal address of your xbox.

But how do you have things cabled up to go out to your provider anyway? is this cable modem or dsl or what?

Static means it never changes, dymanic mean its different everytime you start your xbox.

@grassybutte
Can you tell us your hardware setup?

Do you have two internet connections?
Does your internet first run into a pc, a router, striaght to the xbox or something else?
Whats connected to what?

Do you mean and internet roughter a hub doesnt do anything with the internet just links the computers pluged into the hub.  You eventhough the internet and the computer are both RJ-45's they operate diferently.

Well I am not sure how you have your network.  I would dissconect your DSL and shut off all firewalls and try a local FTP.
