I had the same problem with the connection timing out. What you need to do is this: Remember when you flashed the bios via your web browser? Well, what was the IP you connected to then? Get that number, open up the .ini file for Evox and see if it's the same. Odds are, it's not! Change the IP address in the .ini file to the one you used for the BIOS flash and save it. Now use xdisc to create a boot disk .iso of the modified Evox. Burn it with Disc Utility, fire it up in the Xbox and try logging in again. For me, it connected in less than 2 seconds. Hope this helps!!! Hey,

When entering the SMB share name just use the I.P. of the Airport Extreme instead of the share name of the router or HD. In my situation I just entere SMB://10.0.0.1 and it connected no problem. Hope that helps Rony :) I figured it out! When entering the SMB share name just use the I.P. of the Airport Extreme instead of the share name of the router or HD.

I can see the Airport in WORKGROUP along with my roommates PC, but I can't get connected to it because it's 'not available'. Connecting to my roommates PC though is fine. I really wish that this would work. Having to FTP everything to the xBox first is a pain. The network shared storage is a 500GB My Book but the xBox HD only has 150GB. I suppose the only thing to be done is to keep the xBox filled with playlists and movies that you listen too and watch the most. I’m having the same problem.

For some reason, i'm having a hard time figuring out how to share files on my mac with my xbox. My brother has set this all up with his PC and so he knows what he's doing but, neither one of us are Mac savy. When everything is said and done and he thinks it should all work, the xbox can't find the files I've put in my public folder. Thanks, that was very helpful.
