I am having a problem connecting my Xbox to my PC. I have a network card installed (3Com) and hooked the XBox up to it using a crossover cable. By all accounts - this should work. But the icon in the sys tray says the network cable is unplugged.

Have tried doing it through a hub, with straight and crossover cable (switch hub crossover button where required) - still no joy.

XBox is chipped (XCutor 1.1), EvoX installed. Got IP from EvoX dash and tried to ping it - no joy.

No idea what the problem is, can only think that maybe the NC is having a problem, my ModChip doesnt support networking (tho spec on XBox Forums says not). The cables have been tested and work OK

Would appreciate any help anyone could give

Thanks

Since your using a Crossover cable and connecting them directly you'll need to set them both to Static IP's.

I'm having this problem too. I've set up a static IP address on both the Xbox and PC and started the PC first. I changed every setting I could find on the PC (like the authentication settings) and tried 2 different network cards. There is definetly something wrong.

The only problems I can think of are the port on the Xbox might be faulty, which is unlikely or that it's because I'm running XP home edition.

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
