Ethernet has lights, but won't connect?
Posted: Wed Jan 02, 2019 5:59 am
I have an old Xbox version 1.6 modded with a X3 chip long ago. Running XBMC as main dashboard. This console used to be my main HTPC for quite some time and served us well. We had moved a couple of times since I had used it last, and I thought I would fire up the old Xbox to see if it would still work.
Well, it boots fine, but the DVD won't open which I am not too concerned about but more importantly the ethernet will not work. If it is set for DHCP, it shows 0.0.0.0 for assigned IP. If I manually set an IP to match my network, I cannot ping it or connect at all. There are lights on the ethernet, and the custom front panel ethernet light constantly flashes. It doesn't matter if I boot the stock dashboard or use Xbmc.
I have inspected the pins on the ethernet jack and they all look fine. Before I start to crack open the case, any other ideas I could try? Could I be overlooking something? Seems odd that the ethernet lights would appear fine, but the system info status shows "Internet: Not connected" and it will not receive an IP from my router. Any help is greatly appreciated.
