Configure your PC to use a crossover cable

HOW TO CONFIGURE YOUR PC TO USE A CROSSOVER CABLE

Here's what you've gotta do for windoze XP\2k.

Open your network connections from the start menu.



Find the local area connection for your network card (should be the first one) and double click it.



Click on the support tab. This will tell you how your adapter's set up so far. If it looks like the picture, then it is configured wrong.





If so, then click on the General tab, and click on properties.





Select "Internet Protocol" from the list, and click properties.





Now, configure the setting so that it looks like this:





Now all you've got to do is set your xbox's connection type to DHCP, IP address to 192.168.10.101, and tell it to use a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0, and a gateway of 192.168.10.1. If this doesn't work, then you might want to try throwing your computer out the window.

Alright I bought a brand new XBOX for this again and have softmodded but have been unable to FTP using both methods it says my connection is weak or nonexistent under my LAN 3 connection so plz help me solve my problem

[exyBoxy]

ok guys, 1 thisng Modding on the Xbox is bull****, modding on the pc, not bull ****.

[digitalhigh]

If it sez your signal is weak or nonexistant, then odds are you're looking at a WIRELESS connection. Try one of the other connections...

[ScorchedRaw]

Hold on I dont understand that part it is not a wireless connection because I have a crossover cable running to it and I have tried to drop the firewall and everything but havent found any success

[digitalhigh]

Look, IDK what exactly you have set up, but for the particular connection you mentioned, if it says "weak or nonexistent" for connection, then it's detecting a wireless connection. Windoze doesn't detect weak signals for wired connections. I'd suggest trying a different area connection.

i have a couple questions. are the xbox ips changed in the dashboard or the computer. and can this be done with a strong wireless connection

[digitalhigh]

The xbox's IP is changed via the dashboard. You can connect your xbox via a wireless connection, but you don't need a crossover cable. You would most likely need a router with a built-in wireless access point (connected via a standard patch cable), and a PC with a wireless card. Have the PC connect to the router, tell you xbox to use a DHCP connection, and everything should work just dandy.

ok sorry im confused. Im trying to have my laptop give my xbox internet via a crossover cable. I changed all the IP's and everything but im not sure how to make the xbox conection DHCP. i kinda get what your saying above but i just dont know how to do it, can you explain it a little more. thanks a lot

[exyBoxy]

k, i dont have a router, i use one modem for only one pc in my house, if i configure my oc to the xbox ip, can i still use the internet afterwards my dear digitalhy? i jus modded my xbox, and its suite, but i still have a lot of **** to go

[arkoow]

hallelua!! bless you, my FTP works great (finaly) but now there's another prob.
i can't use my internet and xbox connection at the same time...
my computer is connected to the internet wireless, does someone know how i can change my settings so i can use both connections at the same time? else i can't play on kai anymore

EDIT: i'm sorry, already found out that i was bein' such a dumbass, forgot to make a bridge...

[Headshots 1125]

Nice tut too bad I can't do this my comp is Gay it can't run exe's without me doing run as...

[lilsweazy]

ok can you ftp by connecting directly to your computer i know you can ftp threw a router but can you do it when it is directly connected to you computer

[digitalhigh]

Yes, that's what this tutorial is for.

[DeathAngels]

IM just so confused trying to bridge...... this tutorial is for a regular router right?

Can someone IM me on AIM and explain how to set up the connections and what to do afterwards cause i dont understand this cause i just followed the steps and what happened was that the xbox couldn't read off of the gateway....everything else looked good but the gateway wasn't

my aim is

Why can't i use both of my connections (internet and ftp connection) at the same time?

[groggycadman]

Wow, I can't believe the confusion here it is so much simplier than you guy's are makig it.. You just need 2 sets of numbers to basically match between your computer and the xbox. 1st is your ip address that has to be the same on com. and xbox except for the last host octet. which is 192.168.1.? up to 254 for the last one. Just make the last one is different the xbox and the computer. Then 2nd thing to do is put both gateway's to the same ip address something like 192.168.1.1 And keep the subnet as 255.255.255.0 on both computer and xbox. Now the Ip address you used for the xbox is the one you use in the FTP Client. Bang you should be done.. Good Luck

Oh, and to answer your problem with the internet using bridge feature on xp. Setup or intall another NIC which is not part of the bridge equation. connect it to your switch or router an voala! You will have internet again for about $10.00
Hey also pertaining to connecting the xbox ftping. The network card you configure, those setting I spoke of. That card will be connected by cable directly to your xbox.
