I have tried many different things to network my XBOX TO PC. I was using the Flash FXP program to connect them but that did not work. I set all the settings as follows:
PC - IP: 192.168.1.100
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: 192.168.1.1
XBOX - IP: 192.168.1.101
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: 192.168.1.100
The way I set my PC setting were I went to Run->Networoking->TCP/IP-> Set Ip address and Subnet Mask to the specific setting I mentioned before as opposed to setting them automically. Then I went into Default Gateway tab and changed it to the setting above.
Is it possible that I need to change those settings to the ones when you type in winipcfg which are different than the ones I set in networking.
Although I cannot see the settings when I type in ipconfig in run,(because the DOS window just flashes and closes too fast for some reason.) Do I need to change the computer setting to those?
I am making a direct connection from my PC to XBOX and there are no signs or indications that either one are connected except when I connect through my Belkin router. I know this will make things even more complicated if I try to connect my Xbox through the router and then the to my PC because thats another whole network and I would much rather connect the two directly.
I know there is nothing wrong with my CAT5 crossover cable because when I connect the xbox or pc to the router they both show signals of connection but when i connect the xbox to the pc the xbox says No Link! and the Pc shows no signs of any connection.
With the settings on my Pc and Xbox I mentioned before, In Flash FXP I set the address to 192.168.1.101, user name:xbox password:xbox, port 21 and still no connection.
I feel like I have tried everything and I don't understand why they dont even say theyres some type of connection when I connect them directly with a crossover cable. Mabey I didnt check in the right place to see if theyre connected? Mabey I need to connect them through my router? Mabey my computer/network card is not compatible with the xbox because its windows 98SE? Could it be that I didnt set up the settings in the xbox correctly or I need to setup the setting in a ftp program on the xbox? Any help would be much appeciated. Thanks.
