I can't ping my xbox (can't talk to it via anything else either).

I have connected my computer to the xbox using the following technique.
-- xbox with matrix mod chip + evox D.6ef bios + evolutionX dashboard v1.8.3285
-- PC with single RealTek NIC card (running windows 98SE + FlashFXP)
-- cross over cable
-- xbox with static ip address = 192.168.0.3 and subnet mask = 255.255.255.0
-- pc nic with static ip address = 192.168.0.1 and subnet mask = 255.255.255.0

I'm not sure about the gateway value to use for my pc nic card.
Due to conflicting advice, I've tried:
-- none
-- 192.168.0.1
-- 255.255.255.0 (*turned out to be a bad idea*)

Xbox menu "Settings/Info" plus "Network" heading indicates:
-- type = static
-- ip = 192.168.0.3
-- line status = 100/Full Duplex
-- ...
-- subnetmask = 255.255.255.0
-- default gateway = 192.168.0.1

The xbox line status changes when I reboot my pc as one might expect (eg: no link).

I was assuming that my pc ip address must = xbox default gateway address.
Is this a correct assumption, a bad idea, or doesn't matter ?

Although my xbox was modded about 12 months ago, I've had to make and boot from a CD-RW containing evolutionX because the "Settings/Info" menu was not available previously.

Any ideas greatly appreciated.

END.

PROBLEM SOLVED (at last)!
After trying all sorts of options I discovered that i had installed a copy of microsoft personal web server in the distant past. This program had ftp settings which were set to off. I uninstalled this program and i can now ping and ftp the xbox.
