Its way faster just need to hook up your drive. Good luck bud. Thanks, I know fatxplorer, but it's more time consuming for me to take the harddrive out of the xbox. FTP seems easier especially for very small data transfar. For brand new harddrive I use fatxplorer ect. 13 hours ago, RetroEmulationNation said: I assign a static IP to my Xbox via the original MS Dashboard No problems with downloads via XBMC4Gamers or connecting to the console via FTP Perhaps you should consider using a static IP? Just use ipconfig in your PC to identify what is your router's IP address (I am betting it's 192.168.0.1). The rest should be relatively straightforward. It's not about me. I have multiple consoles in my collection that work fine. The one we are talking about is for sale and I don't want to sell a consol with problems like this. It should be as user friendly as possible. Xbox, 2TB HDD, 128MB RAM, new Caps, awesome Dashboard, and there we go... pop in LAN cable and play online useing XLink Kai... just as usual.

From everything else I've seen posted after this comment, the only thing that I can say that I've seen act odd is depending on which dashboard was set to default, my xbox would act weird for IP addressing. Some dashes would get their addresses right, some wouldn't. Then if you launch another dash from that one, it's network would be all screwy and not correct itself. Maybe try re-installing a dash that you *know* should work right and reconfigure it? I know on my network, between the OGXbox and the Xbox 360... the have an oddity because I run my network on the 192.168.0.0/16 or 255.255.0.0 subnet (depending on your preference). However, sometimes the units will get an IP address but use the typical 255.255.255.0 subnet, which obviously causes issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm clueless Does the Xbox's Link LED on the Ethernet port light up? Look at the wires inside the jack to make sure they are all present (8), not pressed down and not covered with dirt and grim. I had one console that they were completely covered. The Ethernet cable could not establish a link since there was no electrical connection being made. Once cleaned off, the Ethernet port worked again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once cleaned off, the Ethernet port worked again. yes it lights up. both colors light up (green/orange). as mention in my first post, I took of (desolder) and put a new Ethernet port to the board. Did not help. I can't get it to work. I'm going to desolder the RAMs, Caps and HDMI Mod and use another board that works. From now on I check if the board gets an IP before I upgrade it with mods. Thanks for all the help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

big F Posted May 26, 2022 Report Share Posted May 26, 2022 If you cant get it to work with a manual address assignment, then that might suggest the LAN port has taken a surge wack at some point in its life. You have done everything else to check. So its fixable but maybe better to cut and run on that Mobo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowlsnapper Posted May 27, 2022 Report Share Posted May 27, 2022 Can you get an IP with ANY DHCP setup whatsoever? Is this the only setup youˋve tried to connect with? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nikeymikey Posted June 4, 2022 Report Share Posted June 4, 2022 I have a Crystal thats like this, never gets an IP no matter what. Port has been cleaned, both lights light up on the port but I've never had an IP on it once in the approx 15 years or so that i've had it. Just gave in and set it up using usb back in the day, took FOREVER lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, never been able to get this one connected, ever!! Contemplated changing the port a while back but as both lights on that are working I assumed the fault lies elsewhere.

big F Posted June 4, 2022 Report Share Posted June 4, 2022 Probably the same issue as with original post. My guess is the network control chip on the board. Not sure how you could test it but guessing a swap out would work. Never looked at this but hopefully its separate from the rest of the silicon chipset.

Dude, just because it wont get an ip, that's not a reason to junk it for parts. You do know you can remote the hdd and do everything need to setup and populate it with games etc on a windows PC now?

nikeymikey Posted June 7, 2022 Report Share Posted June 7, 2022 Its Worthless just because you cant go online, Wow that's harsh considering you still have the ENTIRE library of games plus all the emulators etc....

big F Posted June 7, 2022 Report Share Posted June 7, 2022 Normally only one or two of my 20 or so OGs goes online, several have the ability but rarely need to even the Kai link enabled ones.

Xlink Kai and/or Insignia is one of the most important features for a Classic Xbox. All the consols I sell have to work properly, this is how I handle it. Big library plus the ability to play online, thats really important for me. I also have multiple consols including a 1,4Ghz with skeleton black case ect ect.... but it's not about my consols, it's about a consol that I want to sell to somebody who should be able to play offline and online.
