Is your network reachable? Yes
Are you using a port-forward? Yes
Is your console being detected? No
Brief description of your network setup: Dlink Router 514 (Wireless), hardwired connected xbox to router, hardwire connection to computer, dsl modem..
Do you use a software firewall? What brand? NO
Operating System? WindowsXP Pro + SP2
Problem description? Done everything, registry edits, port forwarding, everything cannot get the system to run no matter what. Can do everything except for detecting the xbox once I am waiting on the game.. MY XBL account has been banned but I do not know how this would affect system link.. I have a modded xbox with XBMC as my dashboard. using xbmc I can connect from the xbox to the kai service but once in the game I see no games.. When in the windows interface cannot find the xbox... Could this be a problem with my MAC address of my xbox?

[KaiUserConfig]
kaiPort=30000
kaiDeepPort=0
kaiAccept=LOCAL
kaiTimeout=NOUI
kaiNIC=0
kaiLaunch=BOTH
kaiHomebrew=OFF
kaiPAT=OFF
kaiAutoLogin=OFF
kaiWireless=

Yeah possibly. What is the MAC of the XBox? Also, you say you got it detected once when searching for a game.. I don't know if you have been under a rock or not but.. you *NEED* to be searching / hosting a game for the console to become detected by Kai.

Also, it looks like you're running an older build there as there's a line missing from the config file. Do the whole uninstall, delete folder, re-download, re-install, autoupdate procedure.

dfunked..
looks like my mac address is all 000's .. problem was that i locked my hdd at onetime.. and well lets just say it got real messy and I had to go back to a blank eeprom.. now the problem is I have no mac address for my xbox ... I dont know if there is a simple solution for this out there..

I was really looking forward to xlink too....
any ideas on what I can do to fix this? i tried just putting in a random mac address but that didnt fly

Go into the MS dashboard and check the MAC from there - go into Network Settings (assuming you had it updated via XBox Live).

You can't put a random MAC address in, but it should work if you use ConfigMagic and use either prefix of

00:50:F2 OR 00:0D:3A

then whatever 6 hexidecimal values you want after that. You could always steal someone's MAC from XBC Very Happy

Not like you're gonna play them, so no conflicts goign to happen..

00:50:F2:21:3B:4F <-- there you go just use that (random)..

Thank you for your help. I changed the MAC address and everything is now working fine Smile

This application is great, nice slik coding as well.. Couldnt get it to work through XBMC but whatever not my concern right now it works...

Just wanted to say what a nice job you have done.. as a developer I know the amount of work that goes into a project like this and the satisfaction that comes from people using and enjoying it.
