It's very easy.Enter your evox dashboard and setup the ip address for your xbox and subnet (eg : 192.168.0.2 255.255.255.0).

Do the same for your mac (eg: 192.168.0.1 255.255.255.0).

Then ping the xbox to make sure it is alive and then connect via ftp (login and password by default are xbox xbox).

No idea, however i do have some questions. Did you install EvoX with the use of a modchip, or did you do the savegame hack? If you did the savegame hack, are you still able to play on Xbox Live (if you have it)?

Im installing Linux on my box right now as we speak, going to set it up as my new webserver.

I'm a new PB owner got my yesterday. I have search and can't find the answer to my specfic question. I trying to connect my xbox directly to my powerbook ethernet card. It connects but when I try to go into a folder it does not let me. It give me an error and says could not retirve fie list. It does not let me transfer of upload download. What can be wrong. Using virtual pc with flashfxp is out of the question like I found in a faq. Please help

Go to http://www.xbox-scene.com there they have all you need to know how to hack your xbox. There also a forum. People there are very helpful, but I don't find to much about how to use your mac to network with your xbox. Only how to do stuff with the pc. And you need a computer to assist you in hacking the box.

Anybody else can help me out. I been asking here and in xbox-scene and no luck.

Just in case anybody comes looking for a soultion to this. All you have to do is get the Media X Menu (MXM) dashboard and it will work. Set your setting to

box
192.168.0.3
255.255.255.0

mac
196.168.0.2
255.255.255.0

turn on pasv. allow firewall to execpt ftp.
