I'm using Eethernet cable to a router to my computer. The dashbord is running directly off a disc and i'm not sure if i have to get it onto the xbox with an auto installer or something else first, for FTP to work. Or is FTP ready once bios are working, oris it enabled through running the disc?

You will need to edit the evox.ini file on your PC to your network settings, recreate the ISO and reburn your boot disk.

Other than that, use slayers to backup your HD and then install Evox on the XBox. After doing this you will be able to save setting made on the dashboard.

I like to backup first before i install anything on the XBox's HD. So my advise would be to reburn your bootdisk with your network settings.

Having a good bootdisk that gives you network access is important if you ever have to troubleshoot later on.

Hope that helps...

Ok... I finaly got it... i forgot to set the ip adress on the ini file to my computer's ip adress... my bad... thanks anyway... well im gonna go try and set up the dashboard on the HDD now and maybe swap the drive with a 25gig one that we have laying around... just want to know if the IBM model: DJNA-352500 E18211 5 S will work

ok... i got my dashboard to load so when i boot up my xbox evox dashboard shows up... yea!... But a few things i still need help on... 1) theres a link in the menue to go back to the MS dashboard... i put the dash board back on the HDD as msxboxdash.xbe and it still wont load... 2) where can a get applications to put on my HDD... like... coppy games on to the HDD... 3) how can i get linux on the HDD as an application.

Thanks

you need to name evox to evoxdash.xbe and original m$ to xboxdash.xbe or change in evox.ini to look for msxboxdash
for backup games to hdd you need dvd2xbox

ok... I figured out the dashboard thing this morning but last night i put the dvd2xboxin the apps folder but when and it showed up in the dashboard... but when i clicked it it didnt do anything but do the "big evox symbol" thing then go back to the dashboard in 3 secs.  I dont know if I put it on the HDD wrong or something so any help will be nice...

Thanks agian everyone

okwell i got it going... but now when i put backup a video file it doesnt show up in the games menue (where it is)... ive tried to get YAMP as an application but that doesnt load so i dont know how to play the video... Also... do i need something special to swap my HDD or do just need the evox dash cd?

[bizzare]

use slayers auto installer for the hard drive swap its a whole lot easier then doin it manually..... as for  playing video's if u do the hard drive swap with the latest sl;ayers auto installer it will load ( among other things like dvd2xbox xboxftp ect) Xbox media Player which will work fine to play alot of videos but id upgrade to Xbox Media Center which u can find in the usual places ( ive been wanting to say that forever)  

its real easy to set up

just download the file and unzip it into a file on ur computer hard drive . ftp into ur xbox and drop the entire file into the apps folder on ur xbox and ur dun. then its just a matter of tweeking xbmc to the way u want it
