2k uses an almost identical engine to XP.
Have you got any firewalls setup? Make sure Windows firewall is off (pointless anyway) and you have disables 'Simple File Sharing'
I'd also ensure that the router is aware of all the static connections.

ok so today i read that theres a way to be able to play your music and videos from your computer on your xbox, and i figured i would do this to save some space on my xbox. all day now ive been trying to do this but since i have very little knowledge of computers its been pretty difficult. i know it has something to do with the workgroup (smb) network option in the video and music section but im not sure how to set it up. i read that when you click on that your supposed to see somethings there but for me there is nothing. any help in getting this set up is greatly appreciated. if theres any other information you need to know just let me know and ill get it for you.

@ xchasmx
You need to setup share folders on your PC first! There is a whole section on this in the first page! ;)
@ Riamage
I need a bit more information! I'm assuming you've followed the guide on page one, and that you are using a modded Xbox with a modded dash (EvoX, UnleashX, XBMC, etc).
Is your home network also on the 192.168.0.x network? Both the network that you are connecting from and the Xbox need to be on the same network (IP range and subnet).
eg.
Your PC is 192.168.0.3
Your Router is 192.168.0.5
Your Xbox must be on the 192.168.0.x network also, and it also must have a different number to all the other devices connected!
They will all have the Subnet mask of 255.255.255.0

Can you test the setup without the router? Start with minimal hardware and troubleshoot from there!

Are you using Windows XP Home?
Also, just check if the settings are any different on a folder that you create, not the default "My Music" folder!
I'm assuming that you have already setup an "xbox" user account on Win XP!?

You're system settings should be able to tell you the Windows version!
The other thing to try is, instead of clicking on 'Share' from the context menu, try 'Properties' and click on 'Sharing' from there!?

I am trying to set up a SMB share with XBMC and I am having a little trouble. I have Both internet and ftp access on both pc and xbox. I am running my connection through a Linksys wrt54g router. Is there something in the router settings that I have to change? Port forwarding? My pc is setup to obtain ip automatically and the xbox is static ip. If I change the pc to static I can ftp to the xbox but the internet is lost on the pc. I followed the tutorial and still no luck. When I browse to the SMB Network Share in XBMC i get "could not connect to network server". I'm sure you'll need more info but I'm not sure what to list here.

Make sure that both the Xbox and the PC are on the same network (eg. 192.168.1.x) also ensure the router is too!
No harm in making your PC Static also! DHCP is designed for a large network, you don't have one of those!
Have you setup the user account in Windows?

Everything is on the same network.
Router 192.168.1.1
PC 192.168.100
Xbox 192.168.102
I setup the user account and changed the share properties of the folders as the tutorial instructed. If it is an issue with static ip on the pc...how do I get to the internet once I set the tcp/ip settings to static and the addys as they are supposed to be? I see in the pictures that the dns servers are "for internet". Is there something I need to put in there to access the internet with the pc set to static?

I got the pc set to static and with internet...a little trial and error goes a long way...so the above settings are still the same and still no smb share. I tried to add the source and browse but I still get an error.

I hate posting my own answer but here it is...when I browse for the server I can type in the ip addy of my pc and poof...I have shares. I added all the interesting ones but I will have to go and sort all the files and folders out to make the library function a little simpler to use. I have no idea how I fumbled into this thing working but I got it. Thanks for the help Chunk. btw if people are having difficulty following your extremely simple tutorial send them to the XBMC Online Manual...it helped me out on this one.

Have you not got a WORKGROUP name set for your PC?
Go to 'System Settings' and see what your "Computer Name" is. If there is none there, you'll need to set one! May have been overlooked when you setup Windows!

Hi,
Well this forum ia great. Set up FlashFXP with no issues and connecting with no problems. I was wondering if some one can direct me on how to change the main menu of my modded xbox. I want the game systems (N64 etc.) to show on my menu without having to go to XBMC and go to the file to play it.

Hi jfbtimes2,
I'm glad your network is operational, however, if you have an issue that does not belong directly in this thread, either find one that does (use search) or start a new thread in the appropriate section.
Thanks,
Chunkhead

Hello
I have been struggling with this for the past 3 days now and I'm going crazy. The way I have set everything up is a crossover cable is going directly from my modem into my xbox so I have no internet connection. My settings are as follows.
PC settings
This is in my TCP>IP section
IP: 192.168.0.5
Subnetmask: 255.255.255.0
DefaultGateway: 192.168.0.1
-----------------------------
Settings/info
Network
Type :static
Line status: 100/ Full Duplex
Ethernet MAC address : Don't know if I should give that away
Setup network: Yes
Use static IP: Yes
IP: 192.168.0.5
Subnetmask: 255.255.255.0
DefaultGateway: 192.168.0.1
DNS: 0.0.0.0
DNS: 0.0.0.0
I go into network connections right click > properties >TCP/IP and put the same IP that is on my xbox into the very same IP section. But when I try connect using FlashFXP it times out. What I also don't understand is the section under.
You can clearly see where we are going with this. Yep, you need to simply give the Xbox an IP address on the Network that the PC is on.
If you chose the 10.1.1.3 setting, give the Xbox 10.1.1.5.
If you chose the 192.168.0.3 setting, give the Xbox 192.168.0.5
Keep the Subnet Mask and default Gateway the same as the PC.
That's it, they are now on the same network.
How do you get 10.1.1.5 from 10.1.1.3 and 192.168.0.5 from 192.168.0.3
Please help I'm running out of ideas and options
Thank you
Max

I'm not sure why you are connecting with a modem, but...
Ok, you need to set a static IP address. This is shown in detail in the guide on page 1.
The Xbox needs to be a different number!
Make the PC address 10.1.1.3
Make the Xbox Address 10.1.1.5
Subnet for both 255.255.255.0
