Avaulaunch And Ftping....

Is it possible you using the wrong type of cable?  

What's your network setup (i.e. direct, or to a hub, or to a router...) and what type of cable (i.e. cross-over or standard) are you using?

The subnet mask of your computer and your xbox have to match to be able to see each other.

Furthermore, the subnet in the IP address must match as well.


Example:

23.92.231.100 can only see 23.92.32.100 if the subnet mask for both is 255.255.0.0 or 255.0.0.0 since the subnets in either scenario would match (23.92 = 23.92   or   23 = 23)

If the subnet mask for both was 255.255.255.0 then they would be in different subnets (23.92.231 != 23.92.32) and wont be able to see each other.
