Guide
to Networking Xbox to PC - Xbox Network Tutorial |
|
|
Introduction
In order to connect to your Xbox you must create
a simple network connection between your computer and
your Xbox. There are three easy ways to do this. You can
use a hub/switch, a router, or a crossover cable. This
tutorial will show you how to configure the hardware.
Remember though, You will not actually be able to login
to your xbox until you have installed and configured the
EvolutionX dashboard. |
Xbox
Network Connection using Hub
This is the most common network configuration and is also
the easiest to setup.
Step #1: Plug your network cable(RJ-45 cable) that comes
from your cable/DSL modem into the uplink port of your
hub. (Make sure that your uplink is switched to "on").
Step #2: Take an RJ-45 cable and run it from one of the
ports of the hub, directly to the Network Interface Card
(NIC) installed in your computer.
Step #3: Take another RJ-45 cable and run it from a different
port of your hub directly to your xbox.
**NOTE**
A switch may be used in place of a hub with the same
basic setup.**
That's
it! No other network changes should be needed for this
configuration. Your Xbox is now on the same network
as your PC.

Xbox Network Connection
using Router
This is another common network configuration.
Step #1: Plug your network cable(RJ-45 cable) that comes
from your modem into the WAN port of your router.
Step #2: Take an RJ-45 cable and run it from one of
the ports of the router, directly to the Network Interface
Card (NIC) installed in your computer.
Step #3: Take another RJ-45 cable and run it from a
different port of your router directly to your xbox.
**NOTE** In steps #2 and #3, you should
not use a port that is directly beside the "uplink"
port on your router, if your uplink port is being used
to connect to another routing device.** If your router
has a built in firewall, you will need to forward ports
8602 both incoming and outgoing to the internal ip address
of your pc. Consult your device manaul for port forwarding.
That's it! Your Xbox is now on the same
network as your PC

Network Connection using Crossover Cable
This
is the last network configuration. For this setup you
need at least one NIC card.
Step #1: Plug your USB cable that comes from your modem
into your PC's USB port. This should already be done,
if you have a usb modem for your current internet connection.
Step #2: Take an RJ-45 cable and run it from an installed
NIC card on your PC, directly to the Xbox.
**NOTE**
A crossover cable is only needed if you are connecting
the Xbox directly to the second NIC card. If you have
a device such as a switch, hub or router in between
you should use a standard RJ-45 cable. This type of
network setup also requires "Winroute©",
a program downloadable from the world wide web. Consult
the manual for specific instructions on how to set this
up. Also if you have a USB ethernet adapter, you may
use any of the setups described herein. USB ethernet
adapter basically converts a USB cable into an RJ-45
cable.
That's
it! Your Xbox is now on the same network as your PC.
