I have followed all the instructions you stated above. I pinged the box, 4 times 4 replys. Using 2 NIC's; 1 to high-speed modem, the other to the box. Connected via crossover. Explorer won't connect me (a connection with the server could not be established). First tried using FlashFxp and it kept timing out, so I rechecked the IP/TCP settings according to a tutorial, basically same as what you stated above, now FlashFXP gets connection refused. I think it may be the box. X-box 1.0, Evox, matrix, blue-color mod
