HELP...Whenever I plug in a crossover cable I get a DNS error

[03bgood]

I bought a crossover cable and when I plug it in, I can't acess the internet and I'm pretty mad right now, how do I properly use a crossover cable?

[ken_cinder]

Cross-over cables are only for machinemachine connections. ie PCPC, XboxXbox etc

 

If you're plugging into your hub/router/modem, you need a regular patch cable.

I'm trying to connect like this Xbox > PC with a CAT5 crossover cable and I can't acess the internet, it says "Internet Explorer Cannot Display The Webpage" and I can't even use FlashFXP!

Is your internet still plugged in? To do Xbox > PC when you have an internet connection that is connected via Ethernet, you'll need 2 network cards. This is something that should be rather obvious.

 

If you have the above noted and are hooked up properly. What is your network setup? Have you gotten any errors in Windows about conflicting IP addresses or any error for that matter?

Yes, I've gotten IP conflicts errors but now my internet connection shows up but I still can't establish a connection in FlashFXP or pull up my Xbox HDD in Internet Explorer, what am I doing wrong?

Here's what I have:

 

Xbox:

 

Setup Network: Yes

Use Static IP: Yes

IP: 192.168.1.103

Subnetmask: 255.255.255.0

DefaultGeteway: 0.0.0.0

DNS: 12.182.103.3

DNS: 12.182.193.4

Setup Delay:

Skip Setup if No Link: Yes

 

PC:

 

IP adress: 192.168.1.103

Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0

Default gateway:

 

Preferred DNS server: 12.182.103.3

Alternate DNS server: 12.182.193.4

 

I really don't get it, why it won't work, first my internet connection wasn't working w/ the cable plugged in, now it is. But I still can't pull up my Xbox's hard drive contents!

I can see that both the pc and xbox have the same address which is a no-no. (192.168.1.103)

Change the xbox to be 192.168.1.104

 

I still don't see how you could connect the internet and the xbox to your pc at the same time. How are you doing that?

[03bgood]

OMG, I DID IT!!

 

I got the Xbox drive contents to show up!!

 

But, how do I get emulators to show up on the xbox?

[ken_cinder]

You'll have to refer to the documentation that came with the dashboard you are using. I know in UnleashX I've had to manually edit in a menu item called "Emulators" and the directory it points to.

 

When in doubt, RTFM!

[03bgood]

I don't have a manual, I softmodded my Xbox using the Splinter Cell Exploit and I can't figure out how to add media to the EvolutionX dashboard!

GREAT, now I'm getting an FTP Server error, here's what it says:

 

FTP Server Error

 

An error occured copying the file to the FTP Server. Make sure you have permission to put files on the server.
