I have modded my Ethernet/Patch Cable to be a Crossover cable....with a little soldering and some spare time. :beer: It works fine and I can ftp into my xbox and shit, after looking for the longest time on how to make it have a valid IP address instead of 0.0.0.0
So basically.... I have 2 ethernet ports on my A8N-SLI Deluxe mobo and one is used for my External Broaband modem and the other for X-box with the crossover cable.
How do I get the internet to my X-box?!!! I already turned on internet connection shairing.
Why do I get the feeling Crossover cable isnt ment for internet connection shairing...

Check out the XBConnect network connections in my signature, its pretty simply, you said you've got ICS on, make sure there isn't a firewall on the 2nd one, that may interfere with it, XBC's site has a great walk through on how to do it

Everything works great now, but shouldnt there be some sort of News ticker at the bottom of XBMC? Internet and Online Play work fine.

Dunno about on XBMC, I've only seen them on Avalaunch, but then again I haven't updated my XBMC in awhile, check the options to see if it's enabled in there, or it's possible that by connecting via crossover XBMC cannot properly connect. I'm guessing it'd be in options though, since you can play online just fine
