Static IP = No means that it will try to use DHCP. In case of DHCP, the xbox will ask for an ip adress from a DHCP server. Most routers have an option to function as DHCP server, but you need to enable it. I can't remember very well, but I think the Evolutionx shows the ip adress it got from the DHCP server on the screen. Do you see some numbers there like 192.168.xxx.yyy?
When you connect the xbox to the router, does the light goes on for that specific port of the router?
Does one of the lights surrounding the netwerk connector goes on? (That would prove that the hardware connection and the cable are fine.)
If you open a command prompt on your pc and you type ipconfig /all, what output do you get for your network adapter connected to your router?
As the Evolutionx dash doesn't have a file browser, you can't use it to transfer programs from a dvd to the xbox harddisk.
regards.
