Prican25 Posted May 9, 2004 Share Posted May 9, 2004 live is for gaming use only, no web browser since thats the way M$ wanted it. you can install linux for xbox and use that web browser but it sucks dueto the lack of xbox's memory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cominus Posted May 9, 2004 Author Share Posted May 9, 2004 Well then i use i use ftp which i know my xbox has, how do i set it up or what, like connection settings(cables/stuff)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prican25 Posted May 9, 2004 Share Posted May 9, 2004 depends: if you got a router you can use normal cat5 cable to connect between the 2 and use an app like flashfxp to connect to the xbox. if you don't have a router but have an extra nic you can use a crossover cable and enable ics (internet connection sharing) and then use an app like flashfxp to connect to the xbox. if you only have one nic and don't have a router you will have use a crossover cable and use a static ip on the pc and xbox and then you can use an app like flashfxp to connect to the xbox. this of course can only be done using a dashboard that allows ftp. flashfxp isn't really needed since you can use the web browser but i highly suggest it since it makes things easier.

Thraxen Posted May 21, 2004 Share Posted May 21, 2004 What dashboard are you using? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prican25 Posted May 22, 2004 Share Posted May 22, 2004 well if you use avalaunch you can d/l the skins from there if your xbox is connected to the net. you can also go to http://www.allxboxskins.com/index.php? for skins for avalaunch and other dashs/apps as for dashboards, xbins is your best bet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
