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.

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

Mr.Cookie

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?
