i have a crossover cable connected to my xbox from a network card on a pc that runs windows98SE. my evox boot disk booted perfectly. when i go into the settings menu in evox, i see "no link". i am getting flashing lights on both the pc and xbox's network cards. i try to ping into my xbox, but it fails all attempts. i'm going crazy. my evox.ini settings are as follows:
I can't connect-timed out. Here are the setting below. I set my PC IP at 192.168.201, no firewall running xp. Any help would be awesome
Type nothing there
IP 0.0.0.0
Line Status 100/duplex
set up Network yes
use Static yes
IP 192.168.200
Subnet 255.255.255.0
Gateway 192.168.1.1
DNS 0.0.0.0
It only says exit at the bottom, not save and exit.

hmm, make sure you reboot the xbox once it is plugged in, can you connect to other stuff via your pc ethernet port?

I had a similar problem, except I use a hub.
At first I got flashing lights like you said, it was a problem with the cable that I made. I put new ends on it. After that I could ping all day long. But I still souldnt transmit files, it would time out every time.
What did I do?
I used a diffrent cable.
I had a 50ft cable that went around my living room to the xbox, but now, till I get the problem fixed, I put my xbox next to my PC when I want to transfer files and use a shorter cable that I had laying around.
As long as you have the video cable plugged in you dont need the TV. just boot the xbox with CAT5 cable already in, wait a few seconds to make sure the dash and FTP server has started, then try.
I had so mch trouble with this for the longest time because I havt had a problem with the CAT5 cables I have put together ever. So I was too stubborn to admit the cable was the problem. Come to find out that it wasnt my ends, but the cable itself that was the problem.
Give a diffrent cable a try and see what happens. X-over cable that is...
Remember that for X-over your IP needs to be 192.168.0.x (x=a number the other computer is not)
