Ok, first edit the yamp.xml file and change the ip-adres & port between <relax> & </relax>
example:
  <relax>
    <server>192.168.1.175</server>
    <port>1400</port>

How 2 setup the ip adres of your xbox
If you're using an older evox dashboard, then you may need 2 setup an ip adres for the xbox
The way 2 do this is simple, open the yamp.xml file and change the ipadres/gateway:
In the following section:
  <local>
    <ipadres>192.168.1.3</ipadres>
    <gateway>192.168.1.1</gateway>
    <netmask>255.255.255.0</netmask>
