Hi all, I am new to the forum as of this morning, and my reason for joining is a matter of desperation.
I haev been running a hard chipped (evox) xbox for 5 years now with XMBC. I use XMBC to navigate to my NAS and i watch DiVX and Xvid files. My problem is as of yesterday it just stopped.
Here are the facts as i know it.
1- Static IP, outside DHCP range
2- I can ping the xbox from my computer
3- I can see it on the network with an IP scanner
4- I can ftp to the box
5- I can ftp and ping my NAS
6- I used to access my files using the following route (may not be the easiest but it worked for 5 years). I would open XBMC, select videos, then select the WORKGROUP (SMB) option. Under this option, it would then display the available workgroups on my network (i have a personal one, the kids have school laptops and my work laptop), so at any time it could display 3 available workgroups, then i would select the device blah blah blah.
7-Another thing i just realised was, the xbox lost system time the other week after being turned off at the wall for 5 days. However now it has been reset, it is holding timeeven being completely unplugged for upto 10 mins.
Now i get NADDA!, ZIP, ZILCH, SFA!!! it is a blank list with the return arrow to go back.
I have tried a different router, i have also tried just a plain switch.
Anyone else come across this? Do the network cards fail? This is the kind of issue i have seen with PC network cards?
Help, please?!! :confused2:
