The userename will be 'none' if there is no connection!
Check your Layer 1 options first.
Start with the cable and see if you are getting link lights! Check all your basics, including restarting your router!
Next ensure that the routing protocols are correct, check the Xbox, PC and router!

troubleshooting back last page.. (cos I can hear chunks hair falling out.. :lol: ) ;)
#############################################
With a hub the default gateway on both xbox and pc will be the hub ip...
With a x-over cable having a default gateway IP on the pc will cause a no connection situation... been there.. done that.. :lol:
When the settings seem correct try rebooting both xbox and pc.. the xbox in particular does not do a network reset when settings are changed. also try doing a soft or hard reset on the router.
#############################################
XBMC has become corrupt.. try reinstalling it, or using an evox dash boot disk to get ftp access and checking the XBMC.ini files for settings.

Ok then... tried all of that before i posted. here is what i did.
reset router, switch. I put another modded box in its place(same cables), it connects fine. Plugged naughty one directly into router,
still wont connect. made bootable evox and xbmc disc(altered .ini to match my network settings) no dice... tried bootable evox in a another box and it worked fine. I even tried replacing xbmc off the disc while it was running(obviously that didnt work).
It does connect to net. jiz not ftp. Cant replace xbmc without ftp
access. ftp says connected, but hangs at username.
Other people have posted this issue in forums all over.
everyone gets the same response... check cables, router, xbmc, etc...
This is a strange issue not caused by a naughty network, or something simple. I have eliminated the simple answers as described in my 3 posts. Please dont tell me to reinstall xbmc, or i will commit suicide

Yeah, sounds like an XBMC FTP client fault!
Try this...
Have you got access to the softmod files? Load the softmod screen, you can FTP from there. If you can successfully complete that, then you know that XBMC is to blame.
I have written a tutorial on the Softmod FTP 'Can I FTP an Unmodded Xbox?'

Funny you should say that... cuz i used your tutorial to do my first
ever(by myself) softmod. Congrats on a good dumb-ass-friendly(me) tutorial.
In doing so, stumbled onto exactly what you speak of. worked...
Strange thing is... both xbmcs i had on that box had same issue.
how could they both randomly corrupt? That says to me something currupting it. hmmm.... i have 3 xboxes running on my network, and they all occasionally get wonkey. So i just install fresh t3ch2.0.1, and import my sources, keymap.xml. is this normal? any thoughts? Mr.Head...

for the record... It does matter which memory card you use to softmod.
certain 3rd party cards use compression, and the linux wont decompress
properly. a genuine ms card is the safest bet. had this problem with a madcatz.

For a wireless setup, you'll need to refer to my wireless tutorial, it's slightly different from actually hardwiring it!
It does work, I have one of my Xbox wireless in a similar setup to E.
You'll need to bridge the connections!

hey chunk, i got a cross over cable , gave up on the wireless for now. it seemed to work when i changed my ip address on my internal ethernet card. i dont use it anyway so to change it is no big deal. but if i change the address on my wireless card, will that affect my connection to the internet?

If you want everything to talk to each other, they all have to be in the same network!
Instead of changing your wireless, why don't you get your Xbox and PC ethernet port to match the network the wireless is on!?

Have been reading the posts, but none seem to be specific to my problem. Let me try and lay it out for you. I have both my PC and my XBOX connected wirelessly. However I cannot see the XBOX from the PC. The XBOX says that it is connected to my wireless network, but when I test it by trying to connect to XBOX live it says that there is a problem with the Gateway. I am using a Netgear wireless router and a Microsoft XBOX network adapter (MN-740 I think?) any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. One more thing, I have connected the XBOX to the router with a cat 5 cable and have had no problems FTPing to it, however I do not have that option anymore.

You'll need to set the correct gateway!
What are all the IP Address that are currently active on your network?

The router has 192.168.1.1
The PC is 192.168.1.2
I have all the way to 192.168.1.51
I have tried both the router default gateway which is 192.168.1.1, as well as the ISP gateway.
The thing that is getting me, is that the XBOX shows that is connected to the wireless, but I cannot connect. Also I read somewhere in the thread that when I go to the router I would be able to see the wireless adapter as an attached device, this does not show up.

@ daza22
I think it might be best if we moved your problem to the wireless thread... keep it all in the one area so to speak! I'll keep helping you there!
;)
@ evilbulb
Yeah, that concept is called "Static". I like this setup for small networks like your home as there are not too many devices attached to the network and you know where to find everything, even if your network crashes!
Plug 'n' Play with regards to networking is called "DHCP". One device on your network will be the DHCP server (normally a router or DSL modem, but not both. You might want to check that...) and hand out IP addresses to any device that tries to connect to the network. This is an easy way to get your network up and running, however it poses issues with trying to locate your Xbox for FTP purposes should the IP Address change.
DHCP servers 'Lease' IP Addresses out. Your Xbox will be given one and normally will retain that address indefinitely. Only when the Xbox has been powered down for longer then the lease time (which you can set) will the Xbox acquire a new address.
I see no need for DHCP in small networks because you'd have to be an idiot to forget a 'Static' address for the 3 or 4 units attached to your small home network! At least then you'll always know where to find them...
Maybe I'm just anal?

Hey all.
Having some probs and was wondering if there's a simple solution.
I tried to update my dash (was using XBMC 1.1.0) and instead of ftp ing the files I used the file system on the XBox to navigate and copy files direct from my PC.
Now when I reboot XBox all I get is a splash screen that freezes.
I was trying to load XBMC-SVN_2007-12-03_rev10891-T3CH. I backed up the XBMC folder to my PC (using the same method: copying the files on the XBox interface and moving them to one of my shared PC folders.
I have tried everything: holding thumbsticks when booting, holding Y and the White button on boot, tried to ftp (ftp progs can't find xbox - I tried Flash FXP and Filezilla FTP), I tried making an Evox boot disc but the discs I have mustn't be any good for it (only have CD-Rs and one old CR_RW on hand. I have tried to d/l xbox ISO tools to open the slayer boot disc exox.ini to make sure ftp is enabled but no luck - not sure how to do this). I have joined forums, d/l files and progs, burned discs, sifted through the mountains of how to's and tutes but it is a little beyond me what I am doing wrong. I have posted on several forums and done heaps of reading but I can't for the life of me get the thing to work.
All I want to do is get back my original config so I can do it the right way ie. ftp a new dash
On the plus side I have learnt a lot but man is it starting to get frustrating.
My last hope is to go out tomorrow and buy a DVD-R so I can burn this Slayer's evox disc and cross my fingers.
Any ideas?

Is your Xbox modchipped or softmodded!?
If it's softmodded, a corrupt dash will not allow you to boot Slayers or anything!
You may need to hotswap...
Read my tutorials and it'll show you how to rebuild!

Nah it's modchipped.
I have been working on the prob and I think the issue is that the SLayers ISO file was burnt to a cd-r, so I will grab a DVD-R today and see how that goes.

Ok getting ridiculous. I just went and bought a pack of DVD-Rs, burned the slayers ISO and the same thing, that TECH Splash screen.
Any suggestions?

The T3CH screen should not be coming up if the Slayers disc is working, the Xbox should boot directly into the disc...
Ensure that your modchip is functioning and also try AID v4.10.
My HDD Upgrade tutorials shows you how to burn iso files correctly, just in case you are burning them wrong!

alright...here is my deal. i have a pc running windows xp sp2 on it (and a wireless connection to a home network) and an xbox v1.0 running XBMC as the dash. whenever i plug my crossover cable into the pc, it tells me that a network cable is unplugged. Also, when i run ipconfig in cmd, it tells me that the media is disconnected. my xbox 360 has no problem connecting to the computer and the cable works when i plug the xbox (v1.0) directly into the wireless router. (this is inconvenient because the router is nowhere near a tv and i would like to just ftp straight from my pc). Any ideas?
