is it pssible to connect my xbox straight into the network card of my pc?

how do i find the IP address of my pc and xbox. iv tried typing winipcfg in run but it does not work?

Ray

 

Are the cable connections reversed at the one end?

Don't know, though

 

using a cat5 cable. didnt know it had to be plugged a set way round

 

connecting an xbox via network is the only way to get the games onto dvd, youll have to go into the optoin menu and get your xbox ip addy then , youl have to run ipconfig and wait 5 mins for your pc to recognise your xbox then you will only be able to acces you xbox with ftp software , i use flashxp as its the quickest

 

Hello

If you do not use a router you need a cross-over cable, not a straight Cat 5 cable.

Steve i use internet explorer

 

Used to use FlashFXP too, find I get better transfer rates using XP's My Network Places now

 

Xbox default IP will be 192.168.0.1 (at least it will if you use EvoX dashboard). I use a crossover cable and FlashFXP to connect to mine.

wots the diff on a cat5 and a crossover cable? they look the same to me

 

cat5 is the type of cable crossover just reffers to how it's wired in at each plug iirc the orange and orange/white wires swap to the green and green/white on crossover on a standard pc to hub /switch/router they stay in same positions

Just done a search for a crossover cable, all i could find are cat5 crossover cables and RJ45 crossover cables, is there another version?

 

Thats what you need mate, a Cat5 crossover cable.

RJ45's are the type of plugs on the ends of the cable

 

Thanks DJ Dunk

Could I be the dumbiest person to play with a xbox?

In the evox.ini file Iv only changes the f: drives to E: nothing else is this ok?
