ok dont worry about the picture ill just write it all up.
Go to network connections, right click on ur connection and click properties.
Once in there look for something that says " Internet Protocol TCP/IP" then click on properties.
Now, click on Use following ip address,
use these settings:
IP 10.0.0.2
Subnetmask 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway 10.0.0.3
now turn on ur xbox and go to System settings.
Change ur settings to these:
Setup network: Yes
Use static ip: Yes
IP: 10.0.0.1
Subnetmask: 255.255.255.0
default Gateway: 10.0.0.3
Just hook up ur xbox via a RJ45 cross over cable and start up FlashFXP. It should work, i used to be in ur position a while ago so i know whats wrong with it.

Before you even install a dashboard, your xbox has to be flashed with a new bios. More modern modchips come with their own bios to avoid this step. Get an Auto Installer (djboogie has his own installer. PM him for it) and then flash your xbox. Auto Installers basically save you time and discs because you can flash bios, install apps and a dashboard all on the same disc.

Hi there :-)
This seems like the perfect place to ask, didn't want to make a new thread. I'm looking to FTP from Xbox to Mac (OSX) and vice versa. Could someone please recommend the best FTP program and point (or post) me the details needed (e.g. IP numbers, passwords erc.) to connect? Or will Ravoz's PC ftp instructions above work for Mac OSX too?
Thanks.

They SHOULD work on Mac. I don't see why they couldn't if you have the proper configurations set up right.

Thanks for the responses. I have been to Xbox-Scene Tutorials page, they don't seem to have anything very specific to connecting to a Mac and instructions on what information to place in FTP program etc. http://www.xbox-scene.com/tutorials.php?p=481|482|492|#492
There is a PDF file there which when I download, opens up blank. I have found this, with lots of details http://www.xbox-scene.com/articles/pc-xbox-ip-conf.php but it seems aimed specifically at the PC. If anyone can give me a short tutorial for how to connect and FTP Xbox to/from Mac or point me to one, I'd very much appreciate it. Also, any recommendations for the best FTP program for this?
Thanks.

hello ravoz, i tried the thing that you told me to create a network but its not working. im getting error messages saying, "connect method failed" "no connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it" the xbox is refusing the network.
does this have something to do with installing the new bios. i have evo x on a disk as an Rar file and i tried to load it into my xbox but the xbox doesnt recognise. i havnt got a clue where to go from here,
somebody please help me
thanks

Hey all.
Thanks to your posts here I was able to get Surreal running on my xbox. Thank you all.
Unfortunately, I can only get as far as the "Loading Roms" start up screen. Once I see this, it freezes. I have put roms in the roms folder of the program on the xbox, and I have tried them in different formats (i.e. as zip files, as *.rom files, etc) but the program doesnt seem to recognise them.
If anyone could help, I would really apreciate it. I'd like to know firstly if putting them in the roms folder in the directory of the program (which comes with the program) is the right place to put them, secondly if I need to modify the Surreal.ini file (as it says "Rom path=D:\Roms\"), and finally what format they need to be in wherever they must go.
Once again, any help here would be great! Thanks heaps in advance.

That's because you're putting the roms in the wrong area. Put the roms in the Surreal64 folder (make a folder called "Roms" and then it'll recognize it.

That's where I've been putting them, but still no go. So if I'm putting them in the right place, I assume the problem comes either in the file formats or the file names. What formats will the program recognise and do the filenames need to be anything specific?

That's because it's in a RAR FILE!!!!
Extract those files from the RAR to a new folder, and use Qwix or Craxtion to make an xISO of the folder. NOW burn using DVD Decrypter or Nero.
"That's where I've been putting them, but still no go. So if I'm putting them in the right place, I assume the problem comes either in the file formats or the file names. What formats will the program recognise and do the filenames need to be anything specific?"
The emulators usually accept the files in .zip format. If they're still not appearing, try pressing the "load" button and see if they will appear (you know, the load roms button in the emulator screen)

Thanks for the suggestions.
I have them in there as .zip files, and they're not getting recognised. I cant select load roms in the emulator program. In fact, I cant select anything. The emulator is hanging where it says "loading ROM files" (or soething similar). From suggestions so far, I'm thinking there is something (other than the roms) making the emulator hang before it gets a chance to load the roms.
I'll much around with it a little more. In the mean time, any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks again.

Ok, here's what I'm doing (MAC OSX) with no luck. I'm sure I've got something wrong:
Server: 192.168.0.2
Username: xbox
Password: xbox
Initial Path: I left this blank...what is this?
Port: 21 (this is standard, right?)
Protocol: Standard (FTP)
I get the message "connection timed out or server hung up".
I'm using Transmit FTP. When I turn on my Xbox and go to settings through EvoX, this is what I get for settings:
Type
IP: 0.0.0.0
Line Status: 100/Full Duplex
Ethernet MAC address: 00:50:F2:D3:FE:9C
The above seem unchangeable.
Then there is:
Setup Network: Yes
Use Static IP: Yes
IP: 192.168.0.2
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
DefaultGateway: 192.168.0.1
DNS: 0.0.0.0
DNS: 0.0.0.0
Setup Delay: 10
Skip Setup If No Link: No
Do I need to change anything here or under network settings at all in OSX? Any help at all would be appreciated, thanks.
***Ignore the above, I've found how to do it!***
Mac:
Manual IP: 192.168.0.1
Subnet: 255.255.255.0
All other network connections off
Xbox:
Manual IP: 192.168.0.2
Subnet: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: 192.168.0.1
Use Static IP: Yes.
Use the above settings, make sure all network connections are turned off. Transmit connected in no time. However, I can't find my Xbox games through FTP...where are they supposed to be? I've managed to download movies etc. to my Mac, but I also need to download all my games. I'm going to transfer them to my new SmartXX modified Xbox, see.

What do you mean? Are you transferring the games to the xbox or you can't find the games on your mac?

No, I was transferring games to my mac. Don't worry, I eventually found them in the F drive, I believe. They just didn't seem to show up the first time, that's all.
