Wireless Xbox undetected

Posted: Sun Nov 21, 2004 8:31 pm

Is your network reachable? Yes
Are you using a port-forward? Yes
Is your console being detected? No
Brief description of your network setup: (See below)
Do you use a software firewall? What brand? Have you made any changes to it? No
Operating System? XP Pro
Problem description? No console found

kaiPort=8602
kaiDeepPort=0
kaiAccept=LOCAL
kaiTimeout=NOUI
kaiNIC=2
kaiLaunch=BOTH
kaiHomebrew=OFF
kaiPAT=OFF
kaiAutoLogin=ON
kaiAllowBadNICS=OFF
kaiWireless=
kaiUI=Default

Network setup: PC running Kai connected to Linksys WRT54G. Xbox on 5-port EFAH05W hub with WET54G wireless uplink.

Hard-wiring Xbox to router works fine. I've tried setting up MAC address forwarding to no avail. All software firewalls disabled; all wireless security disabled as well. No matter what I try, can't get Kai to see the Xbox over the wireless. Please help!

In the WET54G, there's probably an option on the control panel to do MAC address cloning. Make the WET54G have the same MAC address as the XBox.

This makes sense, thanks for the reply. I'll try it tonight to see if it works, and post the results.

I had this setup with plans to put a PVR PC on the hub as well... should I throw that out the window and use seperate wireless receivers for the xbox and pvr? Or is there a way to get this to work?

Sorry but I have little to no idea what PVR is. Probably recordable TV or something only available in the US? Very Happy

PVR= personal video recorder... it's actually a PC with a TV tuner card and software for recording live TV, etc.

My question was basically if I could use the WET54G as a bridge for more than one system with MAC cloning turned on... I may even have a 2nd xbox on this hub, as well as the PC.

Never got a chance to test MAC cloning last night... I'll have to try tonight.

I think you can only hook one device in to the WET54G, considering it's only got the one port. I don't believe hooking that up to a hub and having other multiple devices attached will work, but I could be wrong.
