Hi all, Heres the problem.  I work at WorthPlaying.com, and do Xbox reviews and previews.  While doing so, in the past I used a debug bios (I believe TATX) and placed XBDM.dll in the E drive, so that I could use Xbox Neighborhood to take screenshots of Xbox games at any time. However, all of a sudden I cannot take screens any more.  When the box is running the TATX bios I cannot even ping the Xbox, and Xbox Neighborhood cannot reach it.  However, if I turn the box off, switch the bios to X2, and boot up EvoX I can ping the xbox successfully using the same IP. To take screens, you just need TATX and the XBDM.dll file in the /E/ root right?  Or am I missing something, some setting or file placement?  It sounds like a network problem, but I know it isnt the network hardware because the same hardware works fine with the X2 bios. XDK 5558 Reg BIOS: X2 4976.02 Debug BIOS: TATX Any help is appreciated.

Your DEBUG IP has changed (Debug IP defaults to DHCP served). Do what I do.... keep trying successive IPs in Xbox Neighborhood until it accepts one.

If you were running XDK Launcher as a dashboard, you would be able to tell exactly what the IP is.

Fixed the problem.  I ran a network scanner to find the IP, which did in fact change.  Also, I found that the IP is closed at certain points, namely when the game is cahcing stuff to the HD like some games do immediately upon boot.

Even when my IP changes my Xbox Neighborhood is fine as I have set up a name for it in the Launcher which I use instead of the IP.

You can set it to be a static ip also, I prefer it that way instead, so you always know the ip.
