FTP troubles

[Corgi]

Hi Guys

Tried searching but still cant ftp to my om box.

I have laptop direct to box with crossover cable (tried 2 cables)
my IP is 84.42.253.*** changed the ip on my box 1 higher but FlashFXP keeps saying Connection failed (Network is unreachable). Can't ping my box either.

Any help please before I drive over the box several times.

Thankyouverymuch.

change the ip on your laptop to the 1 on your box but go 1 higher/lower ie if your box is 84 42 253 576 make the 1 on your laptop 84 42 253 575. there is a tut in downloads have a read it can save a lot of head banging
