Over my winter break I decided I wanted to try softmodding my xbox. Well, the softmod worked fine. I had hotswapped the hard drive and installed UnleashX as a second dashboard on the xbox, later followed by adding XBMC as an app.
However, now when I try to get the xbox to connect to my network it says it notices that the cables are hooked up, but it can't get an ip. Before the mods it could connect fine. I used to use XBConnect to play Halo 2 without Xbox Live.
The network configuration I have is the cable modem hooked up to the uplink port of a 8 port Netgear Switch.
I gotta go but if you need more detail I'll be happy to give more.
Thanks.
You need to go into the network settings and make sure you have everything set up correctly. I don't believe it is all set up by default.
