slow xbox transfers

[Ryguy786]

Well I've been going 30 kb/s tranfering to my xbox.

Ive searched forums and have done what some other people have suggested, but not switch on/off internet connection sharer.

I have the "evaluation copy" of Flashfxp, running througha hub through a cable modem on Windows 98...

Well, if anyone could tell me how to turn on/off internet connection sharer, that would be great, thanks.

[MxxCon]

have you tried modifing upload packet size in flashfxp?

[Ryguy786]

yes, but im really wondering how to change my internet connection sharer, i think that might work.


Ive tried every upload packet size.
I'm transfering at 30 kb/s...thats too slow for it to be a crappy hub, there must be another problem?

Im not blaming Flashfpx, but I might try to get other FTP xbox programs to see if they work. Might just be configuration.

[Tribl]

so your modem is connected to the hub if i understand it correctly, try connecting to your xbox while the modem is disabled, cause it looks like u only get the upload speed u would normally get from your internet connection.

i had the same problem with a hub, with mine it looked like the usually intern connection was kinda routed over the modem and therefor used its max upload speed, dont know why, then i switched to a router and got 100mbit for internal transfers.

[Ryguy786]

I dont quite understand what you are saying....

Connect from my xbox to my hub to my pc?
Connect xbox->pc?

I think I have to have my modem on? ...er...im confused lol


Right now im

Xbox->port 1
computer->port 2
Modem->uplink

[Ryguy786]

People have said turning on an internet connection sharer or turning it on and off might help, but I dont know how...

[Tribl]

hehe, ok my normal config was ( just ignore the points in the drawing, seems the board doesnt like to many free spaces in a row)

PC-----hub-----modem
............|
............|
...........PC

when at least one was connected to the internet, the problem with no speeds was there

so i tried:

PC-----hub
............|
............|
...........PC

i gave both pc's an IP, and then it worked fast.
since your xbox already has a fixed IP, try giving your pc an IP, and then try to connect to your xbox and see if thats faster. worked for me, but i dont know if its that simple with a xbox as well, but i think it should

How do I give my pc an IP? I know my Ip for my Xbox and my PC...Im sorry im new at this...

[Ryguy786]

What I dont understand is why I need my modem plugged into hub, im not on the internet or anything...but when i shut my modem off my transfers go to 0.

[Tribl]

i thought your modem is plugged in the uplink of your hub??, ok now i'm confused here, hmm , sombody else help? :confused:

[Ryguy786]

yes, my modem is plugged into the uplink of my hub!


Im wondering, is there a way to eliminate using the modem and still being able to FTP files to my xbox?


What were u talking about giving my pc or xbox an ip?

[Tribl]

due to my suggetion of cutting of the modem your PC wouldnt get an IP assigned from your ISP, therfor you would have to asign it one yourself which u normally do in your lan settings( i think in win98 its called network), ---->tcp/ip settings and there give it an IP like this 192.168.0.1

Ok i tried that

then i was hooked up like this.

xbox->port 1
pc->port 2
modem-OFF (also I unplugged from uplink)


But it wouldnt connect in FlashFxp to my xbox. Do i have to change the prefferences or something? Or do I have to like plug my xbox in uplink or what?

[Tribl]

hmm can u ping your xbox?

to do that just open a dos window and use

ping + the ip of your xbox and see what happens
(e.g. ping 192.168.0.1)

Sorry been off for a few days.

I have my original setup, (xbox->hub, Pc->hub, Modem->uplink part of hub) and I go to "command"(ms dos prompt) and type "Ping (xbox ip)" and it says bad file or command. But I also cant ping myself (Should I be able to?)

[Ryguy786]

Running windows 98, evaluation copy of flash FXP Ftping files to my xbox. Im only getting 30 kb/s. I have my lan setup like this.

Cable Modem->Uplink
PC->Port 1
xbox->Port 2

I have also tried changing the upload packet sizes, not much of a change, few kb/s. I heard you can FTP without using my cable modem, but I dont know how.

Any help would be much appreciated.

I need more information about your cable modem for this, but from the way you stated it, it seems your 'cable modem' is both modem and router?

Post the information indicated here (http://forum.flashfxp.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=3078).

My cable modem isnt my modem and router...how did u get that?
My setup is
CABLE MODEM------uplink of hub
PC---------------------Port 1 of hub
Xbox-------------------Port 2 of hub

See I have 1 NIC thing in the back off my comp, and I use a cable modem. So i need a hub to hook my xbox to my PC, unless there is a way to do it without using my cable modem.

Here is my info

* FlashFXP -evaluation copy
* OS Win98
* Running behind NAT/router-...yes? the hub?
* Running firewall-No
* Running Antivirus-yes, Norton anti-virus 2003
* Network-Cable

[Ryguy786]

Im setup like this.

Xbox--->Port 2 of the linksys router
PC-----> Port 1 of the linksys router
Cable Modem -----> Uplink of the linksys router

Im running windows 98, evaluation copy of FlashFxp, and I have Cable (as you can see)

I am also running norton anti-virus 2003, but i disabled auto protect.

Im transfering at slow speeds (30k/s) because I think I need to eliminate my cable modem from my setup. When I unplug my modem, I cannot connect to my xbox then.

I hear about setting up the tcp/Ip in network settings, so I specify myself an Ip, but then I lose internet connection and I don't know what to do next! I dont know what settings I need to change in flashFxp or if I need an FTP server or what! The thread about the linksys router didnt help me because I dont have the same model either!

Im also running AvaLaunch dash on my xbox.

threads merged 3 times since it's the same issue.
making many threads on exactly same topic will not solve your issue any faster
(do it again and i'll just delete them)

[Ryguy786]

Wow, what the crap? Slow xbox transfers and asking how to set up my xbox through lan are different.

[MxxCon]

in all your posts you are complaining about 30k/s xbox transfers.
this is FlashFXP support forum...

setting up lan is beyond the scope of this forum.

So, im sure people here have done it.
I was just giving facts abotut the current situation, plus you would complain too if u had 30k/s instead of 5000 k/s

[Hetfield]

Maybe it's better to read some network docs than to complain here? If you want to setup some networking and you don't even know the ping command you really have some reading to catch up.

A couple of points. First of all, this is the FlashFXP support forum. From what you've stated, I don't see you having a problem with FlashFXP. Also, it typically pays to be nice to high-ranking members of a forum. Getting MxxCon pissed will only hurt your cause.

You seriously dont think I havnt tried that? Christ...


And its pretty hypocritical to say that the networking through a router and eliminating a cable modem is unneccessary on this forum considering you have it right above this post routing through a linksys.

Christ, dont think I was intentionally trying to piss you off and spam, I made a networking post about my hub, the fact that I mentioned my upload speed doesnt mean it was the topic.
Chill out

Oh and It's not like im being mean to mmxcon and pissing him off for my pleasure, jeeze guys....

[MxxCon]

ok, let's start over.
there is no internet connection sharing feature in win98, it's only in winxp.

start from the simplest config
connect your pc directly to your xbox without any hubs or routers or modems.
try transfering files.
if you still get slow speed then it's something on your system,
if speed is normal, add your hub/router(btw, which one is it? in some posts you say hub, in other you say router? they are very different things so you need to be specific).
if after connecting it your speeds slow down then it's something to do with your hub/router. otherwise keep connecting additional devices untill you restore your previous config.

Ok, Its a Hub I guess since it says 5 port work group Hub on it. I only have 1 NIC ethernet plugin in the back of my PC. My Tv and my PC are very far away, thats one more reason for the Hub. Its late now, but tomorrow I will bring another TV down and plug it in close to my comp. I will try directly to my xbox to PC. The thing is, Ive tried Xbox to Hub to PC and its never connected.

I do apologize, this is just extremely frusterating.

Oh, another thing, does anyone think leaving an xbox on for 10 hours is a bad idea? I wouldnt think it would overheat, but yeah, you never know. Im gonna just leave my FTP transfering at 30k/s overnight tonight though.

[MxxCon]

you could just connect your monitor to your xbox, configure/setup whatever you need to and then reconnect it back to pc:rolleyes:
regarding how long it can be on and how to make pc and xbox work with a hub, i'd suggest you look at xbox related forums

This may sound stupid, but how would I connect my monitor to my xbox? There's no ethernet.

[Ryguy786]

OK I just hooked my xbox straight to comp through ethernet (I only have one ethernet plugin in the back of my pc, so I my cable modem was not hooked up and running) And it says no link.

I hook the xbox straight to the Cable modem, I get an ip, try to connect, but it wont connect. (Note, there was then nothing plugged into the back of the PC)

So the only thing that is letting me connect is Xbox to hub, Pc to Hub, Cable modem to uplink of Hub.



So I dont know if I hooked them up wrong or my system is messed up.

You just said two very different things. The one that stands out specifically is "I hook the xbox straight to the Cable modem." If your modem is plugged into your xbox, then I don't know how you can hope to attempt to transfer files.

I was just trying, and I tried 2 different things.

I first tried hooking my box straight to the comp, but then my cable modem isnt on and i get no link

I then tried hooking my box to my cable modem, then I am not hooked up with my PC so i cannot connect.

[MxxCon]

you still haven't clarified to us if you are using a hub or a router, becuase there are 2 very different things and they work very differently.
when you connected pc to xbox directly, did you check if both pc and xbox had ip adresses on the same subnet, ie both had ip in this range 192.168.1.x
also, don't you need to use cross-link cable to connect pc to xbox directly without any routers or hubs?

[seanick]

Hi, I would like to contribute because I am having the same excruciatingly poor performance as Ryguy786. My setup is as follows:
(from internet side of things) :
comcast cable modem, DHCP, controlled by ISP
comcast Cable modem , 192.168.1.1 on LAN port
to
netgear firewall router, 192.168.1.2 on WAN port
netgear firewall router, 192.168.100.1 on LAN side - serving DHCP and as default gateway.
LAN port 1 - xbox at IP 192.168.100.13 configured from DHCP server
LAN port 2 - my PC, 192.168.100.12 configured from DHCP - running XPSP2 with all updates.
LAN port 3 - File server/ Domain server, assigned the DHCP address 192.168.100.11 by static entry in netgear router table.

All network communications work fine with the one exception of the transfer rate between the xbox and the PC. the reason I am doing this file transfer is even legitimate, I had to borrow someone elses' xbox dvd drive because mine died, and I replaced it with the help of a mod chip, with a less expensive drive but unfortunately the retail game dvd's wont play in that drive... so I am stuck with all night transfers just like Ryguy786.

please advise or ask if there is any more info you need to help diagnose this problem. I am fairly familiar with networking tools etc. just not FlashFXP.

<edited to remove the auto-smiley generated at the end of the "internet side of things " that had a colon before the close brace...>
<edited per the signature of the post DIRECTLY before mine, to include the requested info:>
version 2.1 build 924. logs not complete yet, ask again in a week or so <grin>

[bigstar]

FlashFXP v2.1 has some transfer issues with xboxes, there's some tweaking and alot of trial and error to improve the speeds but the results are still lacking.

My suggestion would be to download FlashFXP v3 RC4
http://www.flashfxp.com/downloadv3.php

The default configuration of FlashFXP v3 should provide you with optimal speeds.

[seanick]

good call, that works considerably better.


thanks
NICK

[MidKnight]

performance of RC4 on the xbox

Setup goes like this

PC "goes to"
Router/Hub "then"
Hub "Hub connected to uplink from the 1st" then
XBOX

Upload..........
