Okay you need to set up a port forward. Log into your router and open 30000 UDP for the IP of your computer "not the Xbox". Then open the XLink Kai config tool and change the Kai port from 0 to 30000. Then change your NIC to the NIC computer. Then log into Kai and report back when done.

What model is that Wireless Ethernet Bridge? Linksys WET11 I presume? It might not do MAC translation on its own (or maybe you can update the firmware for it), so you'll have to enter the MAC address relationships into the Kai Config. Tool and click on 'Wireless'.

Click 'Help' to find out which MAC address goes where.

Of most crucial importance though is that the PC remains hardwired to the router. Is it?

i did both of what u told me and its still not detecting my console. But let me keep trying with other games. And yes its a wet11

The older WET11's have issues with MAC translation. Have you made positive you're running the latest firmware on it?

And also, are you sure you put the wireless MAC settings in correctly? ie. the right device in "Virtual" and "Real" MAC address?

From the 'Help' in the Config. Tool

If you are using a wireless bridge to get your console online wirelessly, there may be a possibility that the device cannot handle MAC translation. If that is the case, Kai can perform the translation for you. For personal support on wireless networks, we suggest visiting the Official XLink Forums and explaining your problem thoroughly.

"Real" MAC Address: This is the actual MAC address of the console. Enter this in the field without any spaces or colons.

Virtual MAC Address: This is the the wireless bridge's MAC address. Generally you will find it printed on the bottom of the device. Enter this in the field without any space or colons.

I guess you ignored what I wrote :/ It's right up there ^^^ what goes where, and I simply pasted that from the Help that loads up by pressing 'Help' in the Kai Config. Tool..
