XBFTPHelper v0.01a -------------------- XBFTPHelper is a batch file that gives your computer a temporary private IP address for FTPing to your Xbox, and reassigns a DHCP address after your FTP session has ended. This is useful if your ISP assigns a 255.255.255.255 SNMask, like mine does, which limits your LAN transfer speeds to the capped speed of your cable/dsl modem. I have a feeling that this is not a common problem, but hopefully someone else will find this useful. This might seem a bit complicated, but I found that having to click my way to TCP/IP settings in control panel all the time was pretty tedious. With this batch file, all that's required after the one-time setup is a double-click, and everything else is done for you. Usage: 1) Extract XBFTPHelper.bat and done.msg to C:\Program Files\XBFTPHelper\ 2) Edit XBFTPHelper.bat in notepad to verify settings (FlashFXP.exe path is C:\Program Files\FlashFXP\ by default) (Local path in FlashFXP is C:\Program Files\XBFTPHelper\My Box\ by default) (Remote path in FlashFXP is D:\ (DVD-ROM drive) by default) (Xbox IP address is 192.168.0.3 by default) (Xbox FTP username/password is xbox/xbox by default) 3) When you double-click the XBFTPHelper.bat file, the following actions occur: a) Your computer's IP address is set to 192.168.0.1 with a SNMask of 255.255.255.255 b) FlashFXP is started, and automatically connects to the Xbox (with dvd-rom drive as remote directory, and specified local path as local directory) c) Once FlashFXP is closed, your computer's IP address is set to DHCP lookup and a message is displayed. ------- Note: If you would like your computer to be assigned a different static IP address after FlashFXP is closed, you can edit the fourth line as follows: original: netsh interface ip set address "Local Area Connection" dhcp edited: netsh interface ip set address "Local Area Connection" static ChosenIPAddress SubnetMask DefaultGateway 1 ------- -raygun [email protected] 2003-08-28
