NETWORKING
To connect Xbox to PC use an FTP program (File Transfer Protocol) for Networking on your computer which you can download from the internet, the one we recommend is called Flash FXP which you can get a trial version from www.flashfxp.com or do a Google search for "Flash FXP Download"- install it on your computer and use standard type network cables just as though connecting to another PC -then follow these guidelines:
The program Xbox Tools if installed on your Xbox allows 2 or more modified Xboxs to be networked (without a PC) so data and files can be transferred or shared between Xbox's.
Static IP means assigning your own IP address / DHCP means allowing the network to automatically assign an IP address for your PC or Xbox.
For Static IP :
IP address can be changed in "settings" folder of the xbox when in modded state 'turned on' - 192 168 0 3 is the default setting we use. The [User Name: xbox]--[Password: xbox).
Use a 'Crossover' cable if connecting directly to a PC or another Xbox without a hub or Standard Network cable when connecting to a hub. Go into your PC networking protocol folder or right click on "My Network Places" and select "properties" Highlight the "Local Area Connection " you use to connect your xbox to and right click on it and select properties and then select the TCP/IP by highlighting it and click on the properties tab- and select "USE THE FOLLOWING IP ADDRESS" and type in 192.168.0.8 then hit the TAB key on your keyboard to auto select 255.255.255.0 as the subnet mask then hit the "OK" button.
If you already have an IP allocated and dont want to change it (you only have one Network card in the PC) hit the "Advanced "tab and hit the "ADD" IP tab here you can select more IPs to add to your connection list -That easy.
If using Static IP in your Xbox Settings Folder Usually found in "System Settings" or "Utilities" of the Xbox remember to set the default Gateway and DNS Server both to : 0.0.0.0
Then open Flash FXP on your PC and hit connect (menu item that looks like lightning bolt) and enter the XBox IP address of 192.168.0.3 in the URL field, and the user name -xbox and password -xbox and press the connect tab. Remember to either disable your firewall or allow the xbox IP address in the firewall software and also remember to leave your AV leads plugged in the back of the Xbox (Some Xbox only) (the other end does not have to be plugged into a TV)
Flash FXP can allow up to 4 connections at a time.
Or
Open a Windows Explorer Window and type in the following:
ftp://xbox:xbox@192.168.0.3/
This will bring up all of the Xbox partitions in the Explorer window - Double click on any partition to open -you can type any of the partition letters after the above address to go directly to that partition eg. ftp://xbox:xbox@192.168.0.3/F/
You can map all xbox partitions on your PC which saves the partition address for later use (these will remain saved once used- use the Explorer address bar drop down arrow - near the "Go" Button)
With Explorer you do not need an FTP program.
From the connected Explorer window you can drag and drop files from your computer into any area of your Xbox.
DHCP :
Go into the "Settings" folder of your xbox and where it indicates the option of - "Static IP" select "NO" (Default is Yes)
Connect your Xbox into HUB or directly into PC using the correct cable. Reboot your Xbox and an IP address should now appear on the opening screen. Write this IP address down and Start Flash FXP on your PC and enter this Ip address in the URL field after hitting the quick connect feature, and the user name -xbox and password -xbox and press the connect tab. Remember to either disable your firewall or allow the xbox IP address in the firewall software.
After establishing a Network -open E Partition on the Xbox and transfer and execute the file called " Xbox-Hq PC Essentials" on your PC by double clicking. This will self install many useful PC/Xbox Tools.

Matrix Xbox Mod Chips - The First Solderless Modchip ever !!
Here we had a very innovative design for Xbox modchips and - console mod chips for any console A ( likely the FIRST - no solder modchip ) no-solder, no-wire mod chip for the Xbox - but required only 1 screw and a very fine flexible Pin arm to be positioned over the "DO" Point on the Xbox - sometimes people complained this very fine connection point would slip off causing Xbox not to function - also after a while the DO point would wear completely down until no connection could be made- then the modchip could be soldered in anyway and the reverse side of the main board the Alternate DO point could be utilized.
