| Connecting the XBOX to a network that uses an internet router/residential gateway. I recommend you read the entire tutorial once before you get started. This FAQ may not be 100% consistent for EVERY router out there, but it should help you FFIO. A router is a device which allows multiple computers to connect to the internet. Its main purpose is to share an internet connection. Most routers are setup to do assign the devices on your network an IP address. The protocol that handles IP addressing is called DHCP. When your computer gets one of these addresses, its called a dynamic IP This is OK for your computers, but not so good for the XBOX. If you arent familiar with your router and DHCP, then you will have a hard time figuring out which IP address the XBOX takes (that makes it impossible to FTP to!) With dynamic address, there is also a chance it will change. So what works one day, may not work the next. The solution it so set the XBOX up with a Static IP address. 1. Determine the IP range of your network. This will help you figure out what address to give the XBOX. Win9X/ME Go to Start > Run and enter command. Click OK. From the command prompt, enter ipconfig /all (no quotes) and hit Enter. Win2k/XP Go to Start > Run and enter CMD. Click OK. From the command prompt, enter ipconfig (no quotes). Take note of your Ethernet adapters IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway. The first three sections (octets) of your IP Address are important. Notice how they are the same for the Default Gateway, probably either 192.168.0.X or 192.168.1.X. You are going to give your XBOX an address in the same range. Your subnet mask isnt too important for this stuff. If your IP address is something like 169.254.X.X, you may not have a router. FFIO. 2. Figure out what IP is available to assign your XBOX. All the computers that connect to your network should be turned on for this step. Pick an address to assign the XBOX. When I say pick an address, I really mean pick any number between 2-254. I started at 2 because your default gateway was probably 192.168.X.1. My computers IP address was 192.168.10.105, and my gateway was 192.168.10.1, so I picked 192.168.10.20 for the XBOX. I didnt pick 106 or 104 because DHCP may have assigned one of those addresses to one of my other computers. Still at the command prompt, enter ping and the IP address you picked for the XBOX (ex: ping 192.168.10.20). You should get 4 request time outs. If you get replies, then the address you picked to use for the XBOX is already is in use on your network. Assigning that address to the XBOX will cause an IP conflict. Pick another number and ping again. Once your ping requests time out, you found an available address to assign the Xbox. 3. Now you need to Edit your evox.ini file. You need to enable Static IP then enter the IP information you found previously. IP 192.168.10.20 Net Mask 255.255.255.0 Gateway 192.168.10.1 |
