Wow, sorry for the mix up h121589. When the board switched, it took some of the stuff out. There were 3 different guides to FTPing. Ill have to fix that later. For now Ill remove that part.

But you can use a router. Just use an ethernet cable and hook your xbox up to it.
Go to My Network Places. Hit add a network place.
Click "Choose Another Network Location". Next.
Type in ftp://xbox:[email protected].?.?:21 change the ? marks to the ip after the one your computer is using. Next. Change name to Xbox.
Go to you xbox Settings and change "Static IP" to "No".
Then change the IP to the one you entered before.
Restart you xbox. In the top left you should see "IP:192.168.?.?" Make sure that is the same as the one you entered on your pc. If it isnt remake the one on your with the new one on the xbox

Its more of what you prefer then whats better. I know that XBMC has a radio with thousands of stations. You can watch movie trailers and other stuff.

To install all you do is extract the zip/rar after you d/l it. Get the main folder that has the .xbe file in it. You can delete all the .txt files. Then drag that over to your xbox. It'll take a few seconds to copy everything. Then just restart your xbox.
