MXM.INI:

<Network>
     <UseDHCP>True</UseDHCP>
     <IP>0.0.0.0</IP>     
     <DefaultGateway>192.168.1.1</DefaultGateway>
     <SubnetMask>255.255.255.0</SubnetMask>
     <DNS1>192.168.1.1</DNS1>
     <DNS2>0.0.0.0</DNS2>
</Network>

<Newsfeed name="newsfeed">
     <Global>True</Global>
     <RotateChannels>True</RotateChannels>
     <URL>http://www.xbox-scen...scene.xml</URL>
     <UpdateIntervalMin>1</UpdateIntervalMin>
     <RotateItemInterval>1</RotateItemInterval>
</Newsfeed>

My MXM_Skin.ini:

<LayoutElement Type="Text" Source="newsfeed">
     <Pos x="130" y="35" w="400" h="35" />
     <Justify x=left/>
     <font>Arial12</font>
     <TextColor>0xFFFFFFFF</TextColor>
     <Proportional>true</Proportional>
</LayoutElement>


So, (and I could be wrong so someone don't hesitate to correct me) -- Source="Newsfeed" from my MXM_Skin.ini needs to match the Newsfeed name="Newsfeed" otherwise the source tag from my skin name isn't valid.

Oh well -- same problem, different angle.

Good luck. smile.gif

Jinx Removing (nice name), you were right about the user names matching, and I did change that, but still no luck.  I noticed you didn't have any FTP server info. in your MXM .ini.  Does that have anything to do with my problems?  Thanks

How would you go about typing numbers for the IP address? Up and down with joystick could be horribly long  dry.gif Bah whatever it'd be worth it  beerchug.gif

mXm works perfectly besides the newsfeed issue.  No slow down at all and the LiveWire V2 skin has an animated  background.  I use xboxconnect so I know I can reach the "outside" world if that's what you meant.  Here is my MXM.xml and skin xml:

mXm.xml

<DNS1>192.168.1.1</DNS1>
<DNS2>0.0.0.0</DNS2>
</Network>

<FTPServer>

Very easy way to get your dns is to run normal ms dash and got to network setup from live tab. This will conect you to live so have mods off or use unmodded box. Then let the network configure itself. Once it says connected go back and see what it set your dns to, use this as your dns in the.xml file. Here is my stuff:

<Network>
<UseDHCP>false</UseDHCP>
<IP>192.168.1.105</IP>
<DNS1>24.217.0.3</DNS1>
<DNS2>24.217.0.4</DNS2>
<DefaultGateway>192.168.1.1</DefaultGateway>
<SubnetMask>255.255.255.0</SubnetMask>
</Network>

Got these numbers off of the screen I mentioned before and works perfect.
