Setting Up TCP/IP
Xbox Programming & Development
TCP/IP on the XBOX is a bit tricky to set up, but other than that - it does work like a dream.
I know this is not a good way to do it, the other ways are by far better - but this will make you understand HOW it works.
Setting up STATIC ip
#include
char szHost[32];
unsigned char params[512];
void GiveIPtoxbox( char *ip, char *gateway )
{
int index = 0x14;
// 0x14 is the ip location in the parameter array
XNetLoadConfigParams(params);
// -- insert ip into params --
params[index] = ip[0];
index++;
params[index] = ip[1];
index++;
params[index] = ip[2];
index++;
params[index] = ip[3];
index++;
params[index] = gateway[0];
index++;
params[index] = gateway[1];
index++;
params[index] = gateway[2];
index++;
params[index] = gateway[3];
XNetSaveConfigParams(params);
}

OK, not rocket science, but can be a pain to locate how to do this. Now for the DHCP method, since most people prefer that over static ip.
DHCP
char NETWORK_STATUS[1024];
char Network_mode=0;
XNetStartupParams sXNetStartup;
WSADATA sWSAData;
DWORD vReturn;
WORD vVersionRequested;
bool isGateway;
int vError;
XNADDR sAddress;
char NETWORK_STATUS[256];
DWORD SetUpNetwork( char *ip )
{
int socketloop=1;
// Start up NET
memset(&sXNetStartup, 0, sizeof(sXNetStartup));
sXNetStartup.cfgSizeOfStruct = sizeof(XNetStartupParams);
sXNetStartup.cfgFlags = XNET_STARTUP_BYPASS_SECURITY;
vError = XNetStartup(&sXNetStartup);
vVersionRequested = MAKEWORD( 2, 2 );
if( WSAStartup( vVersionRequested, &sWSAData ) != 0 )
{
Return();
}
// If we didn't get version 2.2, return!
if ( LOBYTE( sWSAData.wVersion ) != 2 || HIBYTE( sWSAData.wVersion ) != 2 )
{
WSACleanup( );
Return();
}
while( socketloop )
{
//Setting up network
strcat(NETWORK_STATUS, "Setting up network\r\n");
isGateway = false;
vReturn = XNetGetTitleXnAddr(&sAddress);
if( vReturn && XNET_GET_XNADDR_GATEWAY )
{
isGateway = true;
vReturn ^= XNET_GET_XNADDR_GATEWAY;
//Gateway Present
}
socketloop = 1;
switch( vReturn )
{
case XNET_GET_XNADDR_DHCP:
{
strcat(NETWORK_STATUS,"XNET_GET_XNADDR_DHCP\r\n");
} break;

{
char azIPAdd[256];
//char azMessage[256];
memset(azIPAdd,0,sizeof(azIPAdd));
XNetInAddrToString(sAddress.ina,azIPAdd,sizeof(azIPAdd));
strcpy(NETWORK_STATUS,azIPAdd);
if( !strstr(azIPAdd,"0.0.0.0"))
socketloop = 0;
}
Sleep(50);
}
Network_mode = 1;
return 0;

If you don't understand why I programmed this loop the way I did - it is because I threaded it so I could go on with my program while this thing figured out all the ip stuff - since it DOES take a few seconds extra of the init-time. Look in the threading part for how to call this up as a thread.
