HackDaBox's Tutorials - Network Flashing
Ok if you already have a network setup then you can simply add a patch cable from the xbox to your router/hub/switch and ignore the computer setup section.

Computer Setup
Here is a basic Networking guide to get you up and running as easy as possible. Check if you have a NIC (Network Interface Card) build-in to your motherboard and if not buy one they are really cheap. Grab a crossover cable (cat 5) to connect your xbox to your PC. Now go into windows xp and right click on My Network Places, click properties, right click on Local Area Connection, click properties. Click internet protocol (TCP/IP), click properties, click on use the following IP address. Type in 192.168.0.1 Click on Subnet Mask and enter 255.255.255.0 Click ok , Click ok, Click X to close the window. Now the computer is setup.

HTTP BIOS Flashing
If you have a Duo X2 then make sure the bank switch is on Bank 1. Select Enable Network Flashing. Depending on your network setup this can take a few minutes so be patient, wait for the IP number to be displayed on the screen. Type the number shown into Internet Explorer on your computer. For example if my IP number is 192.168.0.99 then i would type ...

http://192.168.0.99

The flashbios screen should now appear on your computer. Select browse and choose a BIOS file. Click on Upload and Flash.
