What is the Xbox connected to so it can get online?

My xbox is connected to a PC that is running Xlink Kai Engine, I´m trying to get my xbox listed in the detected consoles section with the diagnostics tool, I start halo from my xbox, go to System Link, but the button is greyed out and when I click it, I get this message:
ATTENTION:
You can´t play System Link games without first connecting to an active network or Xbox console.
Could you help me out of this???

Okay well Windows XP comes with a firewall enabled by default. Can you make sure that it is off and or set to allow XLink Kai traffic?

You haven't plugged in your network properly otherwise you wouldn't get this. You use 2 NICS, so follow http://packetme.tk

Could you how can I know if the cable I´m using is cross-over???
Thanks for the help, by the way.

if you hold the cable ends in front of you and the colors match up it's a normal patch cable

if the green and orange are reversed, it's a crossover.

Ok, thanks, I guess that´s the problem, so one last question, are these cross-over cables expensive???

depends, super cheap if you make your own. Super expecnive if you buy a gaming crossover cable

best bet is to just go to your local hobby shop, be it radio shack or whatever and just pick up a cat5 crossover cable. Even some place like Home Depot will have it cheaper than a gaming store.

Ok, thanks again, tomorrow I´ll go to radio shack, meanwhile, I think this thread is solved.
