Title: How do I Network My XBOX and PC
Post by: TalinTheLost on January 05, 2004, 05:53:00 PM
Just a word on wireless.... dont use it if you're going to be transferring large files.

Typical Cat5 cable is around the 80-90mbps (even tho it says 100  - 100 is only the "theoretical max").

Wireless on the other hand... there's different speeds again.

You have 10mbps, 22, 54, and i think there's also a 76 now too?

anyway.. my friend has a 22. the max he can get is 11mbps. i have a 54 - the max i can get is 19-20. and no, this is not just bad settings. what they say is that "54mbps" is only theoretical - its actually not obtainable - they even admitted that to me in the end. was not impressed

anyway...back to the point. even at 20mbps... are you sure you'd want to wait 15 minutes to transfer something rather than 3? no..i'd say not smile.gif

Post by: star^ on January 10, 2004, 01:55:00 PM
I have a little problem.
I have 2 network cards in my pc. One of them are for the internet thats i get from a hub that is connected to a wireless internet concection.
The other card is connected with my xbox. I do not want to connect my xbox to the internet so that is clear.

The problem is that when i turn on the xbox and go on the xbox via ftp i loose my internet conection.
It just goes down.
To get my internet working again i have to unplug the crossover that is connected to the xbox.

My internet ip is 10.41.159.3 and the ip for the other network card is 192.168.0.1.
Xbox ip is 192.168.0.3

what to do?

That is an ethernet jack, for networking the Xbox for System Link play, Xbox Live, or (if you have a modchip) FTP'ing to your computer.

Is the XBOX NIC only working in Full Duplex mode. When I try to connect via a USB network adapter (half duplex) the XBOX is not replying. When I put the cable in a 3Comm NIC full duplex, it's working. Forcing this one to half duplex no connection.

Quick question.

I have two PCs.  One is sharing internet connection with the other through linksys PNA phoneline cards and an Alcatel 330 USB DSL modem.  These phoneline cards only run at 10Mbs and I use the 10/100 network card on my main pc to connect my xbox to.  I have been thinking of getting a wireless network with the linksys   wireless-G router connected to my main PC with the DSL,  a wireless pc card for my other computer and the Linksys Wireless-G adapter for the xbox.  My question is does the Wireless-G adapter work on a modded xbox?

I am a total noob.
In the first post in this thread about networking.

is that the same type of "networking" if you just wanted to transfer files from pc 2 xbox?

I noticed the words "broadband" alot. I just want to connect my xbox and pc to transfer files and stuff, not to play xbox live. so do i still use that guide?

Ok, what you need is an  Xbox Wireless Adapter

Here's the description:

Add your Xbox video game console to your high-speed wireless network with the Xbox Wireless Adapter. Play games on any TV in your home … without wires and with the assurance of the leading wireless security.

You can buy it today Here for $99.00, I know it says $139.00 but when you click on the "Buy It" link, the rates on circuit city and similar places is $99.00.

Or you can shop arround for something cheaper... just check the speed transfer.

Hope it helps. Good Luck!  biggrin.gif

I haven't done it yet, but I'm sure it will work.  Just connect a crossover (the same cable that came with your xbox) cable to a wireless router.  Then set up the a wireless connection from your pc to the wireless router.  Now they're networked.  I would leave the encryption off and just disable ssid broadcast and do mac address filtering.  And of course change the default login and password on the xbox just to be sure.  This way you have more functionality that the wireless adapter would provide.  I'm going to set this up soon, but I want to drill a hole into my wall first, I actually have a more complex setup than you are describing.

Wireless giving you actual transfer rates of 54MB or above is BS.  You'd be lucky to break the 10MB/sec mark with your card right on top of the access point.  If you plan on doing anything besides connecting to the internet, don't do wireless.  (this even goes for cards that boast 108MB/sec)

Please help an idiot out (me), I'm desperate, my girlfriend isn't speaking to me cause I spend all my time meddling with this damn PC

Before I start asking for help you have my word I have read the tuts. I’ve read the tut by fin1581 but it’s not helping me figure this mess. I’ve installed a network card and am attempting to configure it. I am way out of my depth. When I click on the Network option (windows 98) I receive the following message:

“Your Network is not complete. Do you want to continue.”

If I select yes I am presented with the following list

Configuration tab
MS family logon
Dial-Up Adaptor
FD500, PCI  Card/Desktop Network PCI Card   (my network card)
MS Virtual Private Network Adaptor
NDISWAN – MS Virtual Private Network Adaptor
TCP/IP – Dial Up Adaptor

Identification tab
Computer name: PBN_Computer
Workgroup: PBN_Workgroup
Computer Description: PBN_User

I just don’t know what to do next do I select my network card and click on add? If yes I am then presented with the following options:

Client
Adapter
Protocol
Service

I don’t know which one to select. Please help, I was well gutted when I came up against this. I just don’t know how to configure this stupid card. Fin1581’s tutorial looked easy but I just don’ know what I’m doing.

Any help will be greatly appreciated. You have my word that I will share any knowledge I learn and assist others in future. It’s what forums are about right? Incidentally I started to just mess around figured the solution might just appear and I managed to loose my internet connection which left my really distraught. I managed to get the connection back my installing the network card. That was sheer luck more than anything. I felt like chucking the card out of the window.

Thanks

I don't want to come across as unhelpful but the first thing you should have done before posting is go to the tutorials section:

http://www.xbox-scen...m/tutorials.php

Read the guide for noobs, it's an excellent starting point. In answer to your question you do not need a router but you do need a crossover cable/network card. I think people will be more willing to help you out if you've attempted to learn the basics first off. 2 weeks ago I knew nothing, I still haven't managed to connect my X-Box to PC but at least I've gained some knowledge which I'm happy to share biggrin.gif

you can link directly to your pc with a crossover cable.
set you ip and gateway Ip the same on your pc

example 192.168.0.1 IP and gateway 192.168.0.1 ( on pc)

then on your xbox

ip           192.168.0.3

gateway  192.168.0.1

then it will work ..

hope that helps

You can link directly to from your PC to your Xbox without a router. You need to use a static IP address on your Xbox because tyour will not get your DHCP without the router. Then use Flash FXP to transfer files to the Xbox IP address.

HINT/TRICK: If your are trying to use WinXP home to connect directly from your PC and Xbox and you cannot get static IP to work, set up internet connection sharing on your XP computer and it will give your Xbox a DHCP IP. This sometimes doesn't work on EVO so switch to Avalaunch and it seems to work everytime.

I've been successfully ftping to my xbox with a crossover cable for some months now. However, I recently just tried to ftp (using the exact same method I have hundreds of times) and it just won't work for me.

My xbox's IP is the default 192.168.100.10, I set my PC's ip to 192.168.100.11

FlashFXP seems to connect when I click the connect button, but none of my xbox's directories appear in its window and I get this in the log window:

Connecting to 192.168.100.10
Connected to 192.168.100.10 Port 21

I've tried a couple of other ftp clients just in case but I get the same problems.

This is indeed puzzling.

StrayCat:

What you have is an IP conflict.

First, shut down the Xbox. Remove the Cross Over Cable from the PC and Xbox.
Once both ends are removed plug the PC back into your Router or modem (if You have an internet connection with that machine).

Re-start the computer.

Once your desktop settles down go to, Start -> Run -> type in "Command" hit enter.

You will end up at a DOS window.   "What you need to do is release the IP"
type in the following at the command prompt.

ipconfig /release    "Hit enter"  

Once it brings you back to the Prompt enter the following.

ipconfig /renew   "hit enter"


Once back at the prompt, type in "Exit"

now, restart the PC ....once it has started back up re-connect the Xbox and you should be ok!

Lemme know if this worked..

Good luck!

Kro!

Hey, I'm just wondering the best place to get a crossover cable.  I really don't know what I'm looking for, so if somebody could give me a link, that would be great.

Any place that sells computers in your local town should have them. Big box stores, and places like Radio Shack will put a huge markup on the price of one cable, but if you head over to one of those privately owned stores, you can get 10 or 25 feet of crossover cable for very cheap.

All right, so I'm new to this whole scene. I have a basic knowledge on how to do computer stuff, but no idea about the xbox thus far.

I've got my PC and Xbox connected via a crossover cable using the 2 NIC method. I've hit a few problems.

In EvoX it says my link type is only half-duplex, whereas on my PC I've got it set to Full Duplex (like all the FAQs said to). I've rebooted both systems to no effect. I'm using an Xbox System Link Cable as my crossover cable. Could this for any reason be the culprit? Everything else is showing up as it should.

Also, I'm experiencing slow speeds on FTP. I know that this is a common complaint and fixes are listed everywhere, but my problem is a little more severe than the average user. Most people mean 500k or so when they complain of a slow speed. I'm using FlashFXP

I get 2-4kb/s

Would this be from my half/full duplex issue?

Ok. Using 2 NIC card method of connecting. Xbox and PC see each other just fine.

Xbox says link type is only Half duplex. PC says it's set to Full Duplex, like it ought to be. I'm using an Xbox system link cable as my crossover cable. Could it be the culprit?

When I connect via FlashFXP I get slow speeds. Not slow like normal people complain of (500kb/s), I get ~2-6 kb/s. Also, I cannot Transfer files. When I right-click on a file to transfer it, the button is greyed out. But I can edit files on the Xbox (which is how I tested my speed)

Are the 2 problems related at all?

Under BPFTP I get slightly better speed, ~7-10kb/s. Anyone recommend another FTP client?

I have a problem with connecting to the Xbox or rather transferring files.
The Xbox got it's IP via DHCP and such... and I can connect to it with my FTP Program and browse through the HDD but I can't upload any files. It says the file already exists (but it doesn't) and no matter what option I click (overwrite, abort...) the FTP Program does a few retries and then stops with the message "too many tries"

My Xbox software tells me that the HDD is locked. Do I have to unlock it to upload files?

OK, I have a little problem which I can't quite fiqure out. Hopefuly someone here can.
I just purchase a Linksys WRT54G Router. It's soul purpose is a hardware firewall. The xbox is hooked with cross over cable up to a net card on my pc and my internet connection is on another net card/router. As soon as I set this up I loose one of the two connections. IE: When I use Flashfxp to transfer files the internet connecton goes down until I turn off the xbox or disconnect the rg45 cable. At first I thought it might be sp2 or even norton internet securities, but disabling them doesn't do the trick. Any Ideas
Cheers

I'm having a slight problem with this stuff through Windows

I'm using two eth-cards

For further mentioning I'll use these terms
Connection1 > is my link to internet
Connection2 > is my link (crossed TP) to the xbox

I've set windows (xp) to share connection1, and settings for connection2 is IP: 192.168.0.1 subnet: 255.255.255.0, while the xbox is set to IP: 192.168.0.2 subnet: 255.255.255.0

I'm using avalaunch, and whilst loading it tries to connect to the web to gather news to show in the dash. Obviously this won't work, and I have the same problems trying to use Xboxconnect. The computer won't have any kind of contact with my xbox. Nor through ftp. I recon this is because Windows is to stupid to understand that connection to 192.169.0.2 means using connection2 instead of the connection1 that is default for ftping and such.

Something is wrong with your connection2 card or cable you say... Nope.. Using linux these things work perfect, but with schoolapplications that I cannot port to linux my machine often run Windows for couple of days without booting, in which time I'd like to have my internet available on the xbox. Also because I cannot find any good xboxconnect/xlink-clients for xbox.

What's wrong? Have anyone had this problem? I keep rereading the settings over and over again, but they seem valid. Is it usererror, or strickly the typical f'ing windows-errors playing games with me?

Now I've just gone wireless with a linksys 54G router and ethernet bridge. XBox is on the network and I can access it and FTP to and from the XBox from my PC. However when I try to access my shared stream drive from within media center I keep getting 'access denied' errors. It's got me stumped. I'm thinking it's something to do with user accounts blah blah blah on my PC but I'm just going round in circles with it. In the XboxMediaCenter.xml I've got the smb path for the stream drive set to <path>smb://192.168.1.226/Movies/</path> which is the IP address of the 54G ethernet bridge...  It's doing my swede in.

I have the same problem.  I can ftp w/the xbox, and in my firewall I've entered it's IP address to allow access to my comp, but I can't get my xbox to view any shared files from my pc.

Should I not be getting alot faster speeds than this?

Alright, I've modified several boxes now, and once in awhile I'll get one that dosn't allow me to read the files in any of the directories via flashfxp (with passive mode off).
Now, this western digital in this v1.1 xbox seems to be having difficulties showing me anything other then the partitions, and I've looked everywhere online, and I've found a few posts regaurding the same problem, but there is no real solid answer other then "did you check your cables?" and "is passive mode off?" It seem's as though it's a compatability issue or something. What's odd..  is that this is just a stock drive, and I need the files off of it for a larger hdd to work on that xbox.  Trying to move this 120 gig HDD from one xbox to another and replace it with a 200 gig drive.

Try setting up Port Forwarding on your router.  Set the IP Address of the Machine to port forward to your Xbox's IP and then set the Inbound & Outbound ports to 21.

I've been successfully ftping to my xbox with a crossover cable for some months now. However, I recently just tried to ftp (using the exact same method I have hundreds of times) and it just won't work for me.

My xbox's IP is the default 192.168.100.10, I set my PC's ip to 192.168.100.11

FlashFXP seems to connect when I click the connect button, but none of my xbox's directories appear in its window and I get this in the log window:

Connecting to 192.168.100.10

I've tried a couple of other ftp clients just in case but I get the same problems.

This is indeed puzzling.

i had the same problem
in the last part it says:

uncheck the box "Use Passive Mode"

ok
I have a brief question which was already posted once or twice but not answered yet
however

DO I need to have a Dashboard (like evoX) installed on my xbox to build up a ftp-connection or does it work with the usual dashboard (from MS).

Cause I've tried to ftp my xbox via crossovercable directly - ip-configuration is right - that's for sure, but I couldn't connect - there wasn't any response either.
(aditional info: I'm running windows XP service pack 2)

Here is what i want to know.

If it is possible, what do i need to connect where, and what should be my IP settings ? If it ain't possible, what am i missing ? I've looked at some turorials on here but i can't get it to work and right now my head is about to explode.

Definitions

Network Uplink: This is the broadband port that connects to the Internet. Typically this will be on your cable modem or ADSL router.
Network Card: This is a 10 or 100BaseT network connection (either a PCI card or a USB box).
Hub: A hub allows multiple machines to be on the same network as each other.
Switch: A switch is similar to a hub, but is smarter about routing traffic between machines on the network.
NAT Router: Also known as "broadband gateways" or "Cable/DSL routers" these devices allow you to share a single broadband IP address with multiple machines. You may already have one of these if you have multiple computers at home on your broadband connection.
Firewall: This device blocks most network traffic to your machine. Some NAT Switches have a built-in firewall, and software firewalls such as "Zone Alarm" are also popular. You may need to disable your firewall to use the GameSpy Tunnel.
Network Cable: This is a regular RJ45 network cable




Configuration

Hub/Switch Direct to Internet
This is a common configuration if you have a single machine and want to put your Xbox on the same network. If your current Internet connection goes directly from the Network uplink into your network card, this will be the easiest configuration to set up. Just plug the Network Uplink into the Uplink port on the hub, and plug your computer and console into the hub. No networking changes are needed. 4 or 5 port hubs can be purchased for $30-$50.


NAT (DSL/Cable Router)
If you are already sharing your network connection with multiple computers, or plan to in the future, you may need a NAT if you do not have enough IP addresses from your ISP for each computer. You can simply plug your Xbox into the NAT router and it will be on the same network as your computer. No additional configuration is needed. Note that you may need to open (forward) ports on your NAT as outlined above.


Two PC Network Cards
If you do not want to use a hub, you can choose to use two network cards in the same machine. One network card will connect to your Internet connection. The second (console-connected) network card will need to be configured with TCP/IP enabled. You can use an IP address of "192.168.0.1" on it, a Subnet Mask of "255.255.255.0" and leave the gateway and other settings blank. Make sure you configure the GameSpy Tunnel application with the network card that is connected to the Xbox when asked to select one.


NAT + Hub/Switch
If your NAT (Cable/DSL Router) does not have enough ports on it, you may need to plug a hub or switch into it, and then plug your computer and Xbox into the hub. When connecting the NAT to the Hub, you should use the uplink port on one of the devices (but not both).


USB Cable Modem
If you have a cable modem that connects directly to your machine via USB, then you will need a second network card to connect to the game console. See the section above on Two PC Network Cards for more info. Note that if you have a USB Ethernet adapter for use with your Cable/DSL Uplink you can use any of the other configurations since a USB Ethernet adapter is basically just a type network card. An additional card is ONLY needed if your Cable Modem connects directly to your machine via USB (no network cable).

I was wondering if there was a difference in transfer rate with wireless on xbox. I get about 8-9 with wires depending on the size of the file. Sounds about the same.

Before I had a router I just used the two nics built into my motherboard on pc and ics and it worked fine.  I set up the router as an educational experience. lmao. cake to set up but all the different ways to communicate is a bit overwhelming at the time. static, dhcp and the such. Sticking with static till I understand dhcp better. If anyone knows of a good no brainer explanation of the differences in networks site that would be great to see posted here.. :beer:
