Bubba · 2005-05-16 21:58:02

yes, just plug them in and let the LAN give each it's IP address - don't forget to set each xbox to get it's IP via DHCP.

how do you connect to the xbox to browse it then?

i use Flashfxp and afaik it uses a static IP to connect. Is there another way?

Bubba, all you need is a switch (or a hub) with a free port for each xbox to connect to. Ideally you would have something like a PC or dsl router or something doing DHCP so that they will all automatically get themselves IP addresses, subnet masks, dns server settings, etc.
