Hey everybody, I was just wondering if anyone had tempted to change their xbox's name....
If you play a system link game you usually see your xbox's name, or if you transfer files xbox to xbox using avalaunch you see your xbox's name.
Well Myself, mines had four, it changes each time I've installed or reformated the HDD. So I figure it has to be in the evox.ini file somewhere. JUst wondering if anyone knew what I should be looking for in the code to attempt the change this to soemthing of my choosing. Thanks guys. _________________ XBOX v1.0:

Hey stalemete,
Glad you found us..
Heres the info you need to change the name your xbox is using.
Im sure UnleashX has 100% FTP support so all you need to do is ftp into your xbox from your pc and change some files..
1)Connect to your xbox with a ftp client (ex flashfxp I.E., or wsftp).
2)Locate a file called "NICKNAME.XBN" in your E:UDATA folder. Once you have found it, just download it to any folder on your computer that you'd like.
3)Open WinHEX (I used WinHEX-e 11.6 for this tutorial), if you dont have WinHEX, you can get it at http://www.winhex.com/winhex/index-m.html. Open the "NICKNAME.XBN" file that you downloaded to your computer.
4)If you opened the file correctly, you should see a bunch of numbers and in the middle, some of their values. At the top right should be your xbox's name.
5)Now you can change it to whatever you want. I haven't used any crazy characters so I'm not sure if their would be any problems using them. Be sure of 2 things, that you keep the SM letters in front of your xbox's name, and that you have periods (".") between each of the letters.
6)At the end it should look the same as when you opened the file, but with a name that you prefer.
7)Once your done customizing the name, just save it, upload it back into your xbox's E:UDATA folder (be sure to click yes when your ftp client prompts you if you want to overwrite the old file).
8)Your done, enjoy! Now you don't have to go online (using xbconnect) or play againest your buddies with a panzee name like "Saucy" or "Sleepy".
