Sounds like you have dynamic DCHP IP allocation. Almost every box will have a different IP address!
Use EvoX or some other tool to display the current IP address of the box before trying to FTP.
I've did this before through a router. I loaded MXM onto a friend's Xbox and he didn't know how to add games to the menu. I just made him forward port 21 on the router to his Xbox's internal LAN IP. I logged into his Xbox remotely without any problems. I haven't tried it through a hub. I suggest connecting the modem directly to the Xbox and giving it the IP that the ISP assigns. As long as the port is set to 21, and you're using the correct username and password, it should work just fine.
Another simple method if you are using a router is to go into the router config, (Probably 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.1.254 in IE) and enter the ip the router gave to the xbox into the DMZ. This may be unedr advanced settings.
