[SylverReZ]

Requirements:

• Single CAT5 ethernet cable.
• PC with an ethernet port.
• Xbox console.

Configuring the network adapter:

• Connect one end of the ethernet cable to your Xbox and then the other end on the back of your PC's ethernet port.
• Go to 'Network and Sharing Centre' and select the first current Wi-Fi connection.
• Select 'Properties' > 'Sharing' and check the box labelled 'Allow other users to connect through this computer's network'. If there is more than one connection in the drop-down list, then select 'Ethernet' and click 'OK' twice.
• Next, select the ethernet connection.
• Select 'Properties', check the box labelled 'Internet Protocol Version 4' then select properties.
• From the properties window, make the following changes:

IP address: 192.168.0.1
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
Default gateway: 192.168.0.100

• Once you've made the following changes, click "OK" twice.
• Download WinSCP or FileZilla, any client will do, which will be used to connect to your Xbox.

Setting up network configuration on Xbox:

(This section will only be focusing on setting up FTP for UnleashX, your dashboard may follow a different setup).

• From the UnleashX dashboard, select 'Xbox Admin' > 'System' > 'Settings' > 'Network'. Make the following changes in the 'Network' section:

Type: Static
IP address: 192.168.0.2
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.0.100
DNS 1 & 2: 0.0.0.0

• Press 'B' once, when you are asked if you want to make changes to the configuration, select 'Yes'.
• Go back four times using the 'B' button, then scroll down and select 'Reboot'.
• Once the system reboots, the new static IP address will show up in the bottom-right corner of the screen.

Connecting to your Xbox:

• To confirm that everything works, open up the FTP client of your choice that you have installed.
• Enter the IP address of your Xbox, set the port to '21' and click 'Connect' or something similar in your client.
• When asked for both a username and password, the defaults are 'xbox' (no quotations).

In addition to the IP address, you may want to change the range slighty in case it interfers with your network.
