First off, we need to be clear on a couple of things.
Evolution X was a "hacked" dashboard for the ORIGINAL Xbox, not the 360. It required, at a minimum, some kind of softmod to the system. So first thing is to make sure you're dealing with an original Xbox, and NOT a 360.
Now, assuming we haven't found the problem already, you also need to make sure you're using a crossover cable to connect the Xbox and PC. A regular patch cable won't work unless there's a router between them.
Third, if you set a manual IP address, the default is always going to be all zeros. You just set it to whatever you want, and then make sure the settings match on the other side.
Fourth, since we're talking about software that is legally questionable to begin with, I'm going to send this discussion off for review by the CNet mods, who will most likely lock it. So I'll leave you with the parting advice that all you really need is some basic networking 101 skills. Learn those, the rest will follow.
I have no luck at all. I did all what Jackhammer told in his post but seems not working at all.
I did all the steps though some steps I couldn't even understand and couldn't find where is it..THis is what I did:
1-Connected the Network Cable both in Xbox and PC.
2-Switched on the XBox.
3-Went to Local Network Area and click the IvP4 properties > entered IP address: 192.168.0.1 and where it sayed Subnet Mask entered: 255.255.255.0 and where it says Default Gateway entered: 192.168.0.1
4- Couldn't find Media Network, but I did the following Clicked on Configure>Advanced>Speed and Duplex and chosed 100 Mb Full and clicked OK.
5- went to evolution x in my Xbox and chosed Settings>Network Settings>IP address> there is two menus: Manual Adress and Automatic address, When I select Automatic address there is no any IP addresses and all are typed like this and not accessible:
IP address: 0.0.0.0
Subnet Mask: 0.0.0.0
Default Gateway: 0.0.0.0
And the other one when I select Manual Address there is no any adresses as well all are:
IP address: 0.0.0.0
Subnet Mask: 0.0.0.0
Default Gateway: 0.0.0.0
Jackhammer said I will get an IP address once I get in the settings in evolution x menu and it's usually 192.168.0.1 something like that. but when I got there I didn't find any IP addresses just like what I typed all are zeros.
But what I did is manually set the addresses myself just like what I did in the IPv4 settings.
But when I run Flash FXP and enter the IP address however 192.168.0.2 I get this message: Connection timed out.
Please anyone can tell me what's wrong?
