Hi Everyone,

I was trying to find out something about this issue in the forum, with no luck..
Currently I can only use wifi internet connection on my macbook pro OS 10.6.8. I was wondering if I can connect my old xbox1 through lan-cable to the macbook, sharing the wifi connection and get it to work with Kai. Am I totally crazy or would it be possible? Very Happy

Thanks!
cheers

Your wifi network card would have to run in "promiscous mode" --> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Promiscuous_mode i dont know if your wifi card supports that. Go to http://www.teamxlink.co.uk/ -->Help-->Quickstart guide--> setup F for more info.

maybe I found the solution, the following video shows how to do it with the Xbox360, but I guess it should do the trick for the old xbox too. I'm just gonna try it out right now! Wish me luck Wink

PS) this is just to share the connection.

it worked!! Very Happy

I couldn't believe it was sooooo easy!! U just need to follow that video I posted before, to share the connection between the macbook and the xbox1, then you just load the game, go waiting in the system link area, in my case of Halo2, run KAI and go to the room you want to, and magic! games all there Smile

Great!

All the Best! Wink
