I had this chip in a 1.0 xbox for about a year. About six months after installing it, the network would not work. I tried DHCP and assigning a Static address to the xbox, but nothing would work. I only use this box for XBMC, so I shelved it and forgot about it. A couple of months later, someone gave me a 1.6 xbox with a bad hard drive. I took the old xbox out to remove the ice chip, and for fun, tried firing it up on the network. For some reason it worked! So I went ahead and soft modded that box so I could solder the ice chip in to the 1.6 box. Now, here is where my problem is: I have soldered in the chip and everything is working fine except for the network. No matter what I do, I can not get the xbox to either grab an ip or use one that I place in statically. I have tried to go straight to the ms dash to pull the ip, but that didn't work. Evox sees the connection as indicated by a full 100 connection. I am convinced this is a problem with this chip as it had happened with my other xbox. Has anyone else had this problem, or now how I can "trick" the software into running on the network? Thanks.
