like hey your post count went down? or like hey where’s your brain?
ive been really busy at work - like faster than the speed of light busy…so off time is taken up decompressing - if I don’t appear here it’s becauss my mind is filled with networking solutions and design problems.
they’ve got me stuck in “mr. serious” mode at work…spilling over i guess
Like hey as in where have you been. That sort of hey. 
Alrighty. That’s explanation enough for me. Networky boy.
How do I network my computer to my Xbox using only a Hub? I want to FTP into it.
Some brain food for you. 
I apreciate for not Hijacking my thread…!
Thank you!
you can do it, give me a few minutes ill find out how aislin, i think its pretty easy (in theory)
No problem Russian. I think it’s healthy when a thread that’s run it’s course keeps going. 
being that the xbox ix capable of going Live! with the cable modem this means that it has IP settings.
If you are running a shared high speed internet connection
and have for example the cable modem plugged up, and then the signal going into your computer via USB cable, then have another straight cat5 (ethernet cable) running out of your NIC card in the back of the PC to the main of the hub, plug the xbox using a straight cable(use straight cause its direct to hub, crossover cable is for direct pc to xbox) to the first available spot in the hub
the NIC card is now your gateway interface to the internet
and the xbox is like a regular pc on a network
the cable modem via usb is supplying the “feed”
now usually you have to run a proxy software to assign IP addresses on this ghetto network - avirt soho is a great program for this
but i believe if you have an ftp program you can enter in the IP address of the XBOX and direct connect that way… I’m seeing that the FTP program FlashFXP is a tried and true friend with the XBOX - on the settings on the XBOX grab the IP and the subnet mask ex (IP192.168.4.1 subnet 255.255.255.0) - then enter these into the connect box of the FlashFXP program -
try connecting-
also you may try hooking up the cable modem, then running a cat5 from it to the main on the hub, then plug in your computer to slot 3 and the xbox to slot 4 - then ftp to it that way
those are two ways off the top of my head, id test it out myself, but the house xbox isnt here right now, it will be back in a few days and i can test it for you then…if i think of a new way, or see something ill let you know
it can be done
grins Very… long. wow. Well, I’m getting my modchip installed tomorrow, so on Sunday I’ll be testing all this stuff out. can’t wait.
Nothing bad here…
Please don’t discuss pirated software on the boards. We don’t judge you for using it, but it’s against the rules to go so far as you just have.
So you may want to edit that post before a mod reads it **HINT…NUDGE
Discuss what? Whatever do you mean? Hides

Further talk of illegal software could lead to banning, so if I were you I would watch myself. This forum is strict against illegal software, Kirupa shouldn’t pay the penalities of your own carelessness. And that is no joke.
Unlike this senator guy, who is a complete joke. A senator who freely admits he is willing to break the law to stop file sharing. Real productive way to go about it sir, how about you murder all the people in your villiage, it might stop crime!
Hits self with keyboard
One small mistake and I lose respect? I had respect!? crap…
Well, it is about that time. Goodnight, everyone.
I think there will be more legal issues than they would want to deal with if they started damaging PC’s for D/L’ing music or whatever… They would be breaking US law anyway. I don’t think this will happen at all. Sounds like it could be interpreted as a violation of unreasonable search and seizure.
Cheers!
