my xbox is modded with xecuter2 and evox dashboard. i can play burned games easily on it but for some reason it doesnt play real xbox games for instance gta 3. i tried gta 3 on my friends xbox and it worked perfectly without any glitches. anyways my real problem is that i cant conect properly to my xbox from my pc. i tried craxtion 4 but it was never able to onnect ot it. then i tried flashfxp and i was able to connect but then no files appear from the xbox even though i have the cd inserted and my screen is on the dashboard. can anyone please help me ix the problem??

what type of connection is your network?

Are you connecting directly to your XBOX with a crossover cable? If so, do both the PC LAN connection and the XBOX connection have static IP addresses assigned to them?

Is your XBOX and PC you're attempting the FTP connected via a router?

im connected via router... internet wire goes from xbox to hub in my room which goes to another hub in the back room wich connects to the linksys which is connected to the modem. same for my pc.

Could be a bad ethernet cable somewhere along the way. You might want to do some trial and error with the different cables to make sure each one is functioning correctly. Make sure your Xbox is connected to the hub via ethernet cable, not a crossover cable. The bug you mentioned where files on the Xbox don't show up in the FTP browser can happen with Xenium chips when accessing FTP within Xenium OS, there is a work around which involves tweaking some settings in FlashFXP. I just use an explorer window from within XP to connect directly. Just open an Explorer window (i.e. My Computer-->C) and type ftp://xboxiphere with your Xbox IP in place of "xboxiphere." See if you can view files on the Xbox. If you can, then it's probably an issue with FlashFXP. If not, then it's more likely a networking issue. Also make sure you have IGR (In-Game Reset) turned off in EvoX, that can cause issues with games booting.

i just tried directly linking to it by opening internet explorer and typing in ftp://192.168.1.200 and all teh files i got were en_windows_xp pro_with_sp2.iso and sample.doc. how do i turn off igr if it is on i cant seeem to find it in the system

if there is a way to make teh files appear on flashfxp and you can give me a guide on how to do it then please do.

No I didn't mean Internet Explorer, I meant Windows Explorer. Windows Explorer is the window that appears when navigating through Windows XP. For instance, go to start-->my computer. The menu options that appear on the screen in winodws is called Windows Explorer. From My Computer, try typing ftp:// followe by your Xbox IP. IGR is a feature in EvoX, the option to turn it off should be located in the dash settings in EvoX. It's also recommended you disable it in the bios. You can disable using a bios tool like Xecuter 2 bios config. That can be found on xbins. Also, make sure the date and time is set correctly in the official MS Dash and try cleaning out your E-->CACHE folder.

i tried that it still gave me the same files. i opened c and put it in but i still got teh same 2 files. and could u tell me the exact path to get to the igr settings as i am a noob at it right now.

Well you do it from within the EvoX dash settings. Look around the settings portion of the menu, turning off IGR from within the dash settings should disable it, some of the X2 bios required turning it off in the bios as well. You really need to look over Tech's FTP guide and see if you are missing a step, it's like going forward blind without getting your FTP working properly.

i cant find igr settings unless u r talking about autorun settings. my xbox wont play actual xbox games for some reason

That is your problem.
Simply put, connecting via two routers, hubs, switches,, whatever can cause unstable or prevent connections altogether especially when dealing with FTP. To test this, plug your XBOX and your PC into your main router then try to FTP. It will more than likely work.

on a side note:
FYI: If you connect or attempt a connection and it looks as though it was successful and no drives or files are visible...the connection was unsuccessful.
