Do you know the correct IP of the Xbox?

edit /etc/conf.d/net

Code: Select all

vim /etc/conf.d/net
there should be a line in there that says:

iface_eth0="192.168.0.2 broadcast 192.168.0.255 netmask 255.255.255.0"

(baring in mind the numbers will almost certainly be different)

put the correct numbers for your network in there, save, and restart networking:

Code: Select all

/etc/init.d/network restart
Cheers,

DOH

If you dont have a keyboard, then life is going to be more tricky.

If it was me I would:

configure my pc to be on the 192.168.1 network (give it 192.168.1.25 or something)

Start gentoox

then you should be able to ssh to 192.168.1.13

then you can edit the file (like I said in my last post)

change your pc to be back on the 192.168.0 network (or whatever you changed your xbox too) and hopefully it's all done...
