You cant run kai twice on the same network use only 1 pc running kai with both xboxes connected to the router/hub.

1 Little problem I've found with Halo 2 is if I'm in game my housemate can't see the game and vice-versa. But both of us can see game (and join) when the game is in 'lobby'. Just in case..... Wink

I have had the same thing. I run Kai on one PC and have four XBOX's on the network. For Halo 2, if one person is playing in a game no one else can see the game come up. However, if we all wait at the game menu we can all see the game. We usually have to all join in at the same time and then it works fine. Note that this is only for games that are in progress. If a game is in its pregame phase, then this behaviour does not happen.

1. Have both xboxs connected to 1 computer via hub/crossover cable. If you use crossover cables but no hub you need a pc with 2 network cards and run network wizard to bridge connections.
2. Run kai on the one computer.
3. Run Halo/Halo 2 on both xboxs go to system link and there you have it
