Hey all, first let me say I am a complete n00b I admit. I bought my box used and premodded. It has unleash X that was soft modded with splinter cell, xbmc, dongle free and dvd2xbox. i have successfully installed a7800x pcsxbox and xSnes9x the flash ftp although i cant find roms. I have Ndures 2.7 on my pc, as well as action replay, a 007 save game exploit, and craxtion4. I have read for 2 days with out sleep..........
my ? is cant I transfer the splinter cell exploit from my modded system to a standard memory card and mod other systems that easily? (no usb cut cables or ftp- if that even works on an unmodded box) and will a burnt copy of SC work or does it have to be original?? thanks to those of you who dont yell and just offer advice, im new but obviously have done homework

Well to answer my own ?'s after reading even more.......and really the 2nd question didnt make sense being as a box that isnt modded cant read burnt discs.... but I am seeing that I can transfer the 2 game saves for Splinter cell from a modded box to a memory card which in fact is the easiest way. I guess all I have to do now is buy an original copy of splinter cell and a memory card....By the way I also see that Slayers Evox 2.7 auto installer isnt for soft mods just chipped mods correct??
Thanks for these posts, everything I have ever learned about computers and systems has been from reading these. U guys fricken rock!

Not sure if this is the correct place to post this question, but here goes. Has anyone ever solved the issue where a soft-modded xbox gets a new MAC address every time it powered on? I have successfully modded my xbox, loaded XMBC, and installed a 500 GB harddrive. I'm using UnleashX as my default dash, but live in XBMC most of the time. But every time it connects to the network, it presents a new MAC address (last two hex chars keep changing) and hence gets a different address from my router. I could live with this, but now I'm trying to set up a wireless bridge and I can't get it to connect at all. My wireless router (Belkin) is handing out address's just fine, two computers hard wired to router and one laptop wirelessly connected with no issues. The D-link bridge seems to be working fine as well, it connects to my wireless router and I can get to it's internal web page just fine. But the xbox never gets an address. When I hook some other computer to the bridge, its get an address no problem. I've tried setting a static address on the xbox itself, one in the range that my DHCP server is handing out, but no luck there either. Any ideas? This is driving me nuts...

I have a question About FTPs
I use a crossover cable to connect with my xbox I haven't even opened my xbox but I did soft mod it and successfully have XBMC running on it so here's the deal
O on the xbox without the game disc I go to ModGUI and I can see all the folders and everything
Next I try to pop a game that I want to back up and I click on D Drive and it says that the xbox is no longer able to connect with the xbox.
Using the explorer doesn't work either, it says that I do not have permission to go there..
Any help?? solutions

Turn off the Auto Play in 'Settings' and try again. You want to insert the disc, Xbox will recognise it, but stay at the dash!
solved

Just a heads up Sometimes you must log in to your router ROM BIOS you know port forwarding and forward the ports that you are trying to FTP with like port 20 - 21 and make sure your software fire allows your FTP ports to be forwarded... I think
To do this please see portforward.com it is one of the best sites to go on for Networking issues. (that I know of)

Hey everyone,
Just a tip that will keep you sane. When you go to FTP you know that you can only have one connection at a time so that means you have to turn your internet off. But in what order you turn it off and your xbox on, it can give really different results. The biggest problem for me was that. I had everything else right except that, so I lost my sanity thinking about WHY it didn't work. But then I made a break through:
What NOT to do: Turn your xbox on and enable your xbox connection and THEN turn the internet connection off. WRONG WON'T WORK.
What TO DO: Turn the internet connection off wait 5 secs after its turned off (Just to make sure). THEN turn your xbox on and carry on as normal.
ALSO if it asks you about your connection and then gives you options to work offline or Try again. CLICK TRY AGAIN!!!. It will work. (Windows Explorer) Best thing to use...
Hope this helps someone
Max Kreeger.

One thing about FTPing or any other networking projects is that you have to give it time Nothing happens over minutes well atleast for me it didn't I had to learn this the hard way and make everyone online think that I am a big fat n00b or a simple idiot. Please be careful and read through the entire fourm or the entire Trouble shooter b4 posting

No its not a problem if you have everyhting setup go to windows explorer and type this;
ftp://?0?:yourpassword@IPadress:21 I'll show you what mine looks like;
ftp://xbox:xbox@10.1.1.1:21

Thanks for your prompt reply.
I have tried that but seem like explorer can't accept ?0? as the address.
May I know why can't I change the server name as mention in your very beginning post? If I reset my xbmc back to default setting will the server name be xbox then? Thanks.

It will reset itself to whatever its default name is. So if its default name is xbox yes, but if its default name is ?0? then nothing will happen. Was the name always like this ?

yes, when I first switch to the server page trying to do a network setup to ftp it with my pc.
It don't allow me to change it although I can switch to ?-1? but can't save it. I think it make no different even if I switch it to ?-1?.
FYI, the softmoded was done by someone else. So is it possible that he had lock the server name when he installed it for me. Thanks.

JabJab42,
May be I should explain more on my setup.
I am using a cross wire to connect my xbox directly to the Ethernet port on my pc.
My pc is connected to internet using a wireless linksys wireless USB adaptor.
When I try ftp my xbox to pc I did not turn ON the internet connection, firewall of windows and norton 360.
I have set the ip address of the Ethernet card on my pc as
IP address: 192.168.0.4
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: 192.168.0.1 which is the same as my linksys wireless USB adaptor.
My setting on Xbox is
IP address: 192.168.0.5
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: 192.168.0.1
Hope that you can help to analyze and let me know what went wrong with my setting. Thanks.

Hey Chunkhead, first - big props to you for putting up with so many techno-tards that have no clue as to what they are doing.
I have always believed, if you can't change a car tire, you shouldn't be driving a car.
Having said that - Now here I am on the side of the rode with a flat tire, and I can't figure out crap.
I, also, am having problems with connecting my xbox to the FTP.
I was using the router method and it was ok, I guess, but I wanted to try the Crossover cable method hoping for faster speeds, my connection via router to FTP is so damned slow it makes me think I am running on the first pentium chip.
I have VISTA - now I am starting to see the problems.
When I go in and set my own TCP/IPv4 setting, I set them myself, and click save then I hit OK to exit back out to my Local ARea Connections-ish window. When I go back in to make sure the changes are still there - THEY ARE NOT! So infuriating.
OR how about this method - since I have yet to ever connect with FXP - EVER! - I was using FTP Deluxe, which worked without a problem, but uploads are slow.
I burned Flight of the Conchords Season 1 - OMG, the best TV series EVER! - to a DVD Disc and transfered the files, but they went into a defualt Data/MyDisc <--the name of the disc.
Is there a way to move files around from within the unleashX or XBMC interface? or a way to shoose where files go from disc to HD?
and I know this isn't a forum about XBMC - feel free to curse at me, but where is my xboxmediacenter.ini file? I cant find it to edit the locations to look for certain files.
Dude, if i were you, I'd totally hate freeksho

Not sure if anyone is even checking this thread any longer but I'll give it a shot.
I've got a Linksys Router with DD-WRT as my main router, cable modem going directly into it. Wired to the router is my PC.
My xbox is connected to a linksys wireless ethernet bridge, it is softmodded with evox dash
My Router settings are DHCP and are
IP: 192.168.1.1
My bridge settings are Static and set to:
IP: 192.168.1.11
Gateway: 192.168.1.90
My XBOX is set to static, and settings are:
IP: 192.168.1.4
Setup Net: Yes
Use Static IP: Yes
IP:192.168.1.4
Subnet: 255.255.255.0
Def Gateway: 192.168.1.1
DNS: 0.0.0.0
DNS: 0.0.0.0
I can't connect to my network or to the web, but I can connect to it via FTP wirelessly, I know I've screwed something up, can someone help me!! Thanks!

Hi,
Question about getting the smb sharing to work.
My settings:
D-Link Router
DCHP IP: 192.168.0.100
PC:
Static IP: 192.168.0.102
Xbox:
Static IP: 192.168.0.106
Added to workgroup 'Home', same as the pc and the rest of the network settings in the Xbox are copied from the examples here.
sources.xml excerpt:
<bookmark>
<name>Series</name>
<path>smb://xbox:xbox@192.168.0.102/series</path>
</bookmark>
I created a user account xbox, setup the shares correctly etc but still cannot connect to them from the xbox. I also cannot use the 'general' SMB Network link, I get 'cannot connect to server'.
I suspect the following has something to do with it:
In My router settings, the xbox does not appear as 'having been assigned an ip'
DM1 (PC), DM2(laptop) and Diamond (phone) get an ip...
In the settings, the xbox has an ip and FTP is no problem.
Can anyone help?
Thanks already!

Hey,
I've had some bad ass problems with FTP connections in the past. To start off, which connection setup are you using ?. I'm guessing your using setup C because of the two connections you had. Obviously it shows that your supposed to use a crossover for the Xbox, but even if you use a straight through it would still show on your xbox that there is a link. Try another LAN cable see if you get a response. It might be that its a CAT 6 and it doesn't recognize it. We'll need Chunkhead to clarify that.
For now just try another normal LAN cable and see if you get a link.
