Network problems on my XBOX...Forum: Networking Topic: Network problems on my XBOX... started by: ohwell Posted by ohwell on July 29 2005,13:04
hey there..i just installed DSL on the HD of my xbox a few days ago. after figuring out on how to use netcardconfig (i am totally new to linux...) i got easy access to the internet via firefox and my router. now today i wanted to check how to make those settings permanent so i dont have to run netcardconfig everytime, and i found a nice tutorial on this board. BUT - here comes the problem: i turned on my xbox, run netcardconfig as usual, but i wasnt able to log on to the internet anymore! the network itself is still running nicely, i can ping & access the xbox via ftp from a next computer. the internet connection is up & running as well. my network data is as following: xbox ip: 192.168.0.17 xbox broadcasting ip: 192.168.0.17 subnet: 255.255.255.0 gateway/router ip: 192.168.0.1 no dhcp running on the router, i chose "no" in netcardconfig as well. what exactly is the broadcasting ip for? do i have to check "monkeyweb" in the DSL panel? do i have to uncheck "dhcp client" in the panel? dont think i did so yesterday when everything worked fine. i restarted & retried everything several times already, always doing it exactly as i did yesterday. any ideas/hints? i have no keyboard for the xbox yet, so any solution avoiding the shell/bash would be nice, cause the virtual keyboard/gamepad combo is a pain in the ass... thanks in advance... EDIT: myDSL doesnt work anymore neither. also i cant edit lilo.conf (to add nodhcp) neither resolv.c onf cause i dopnt have write permissions. how can i log on as the right user / root ? (sorry i am absolutely clueless about linux and networking...) what do i need a nameserver for anyway? as i am not using dhcp and my router should be doing the dns things. i guess i am overlooking something very easy, cause this doesnt resemble what i heard about linux before i tried it.

Sorry...I have totally hacked this post all to p-ie-ce-s< This post has pretty good info > Also try searching google for the man page (manual) on netcardconfig. It should answer all of your questions. Posted by SaidinUnleashed on July 29 2005,18:27
Many of your errors are due to the fact that Xbox DSL is based on a very dated version of DSL.Most of your bugs have been fixed in more recent versions of DSL, such as your MyDSL issue. You might contact the XDSL developers and see if they are planning to update their distro soon. Also, there are several support sites for linux on the Xbox, and the issues that insue. You might be able to get better, more hardware-specific answers, since almost none of us here run XDSL. Try < http://www.xbox-linux.org > They seem to have a LOT of info there. -J.P. |
