No, this is the right place..

You need a BBA for your cube, then one of the support games (see our list on the main website)..

Then you need to follow the quickstart guide - and find some other guy to play with..

Things are a little quiet cube-side right now - we are looking into ways to support more games, working with the ControlSim guys Smile

- but for now, you are better off finding someone in your state / near by, and hooking up with him privately..

Thanks for checking us out - ttyl..

Sounds like you're using a wireless router? Just hook up the GC to the router then, although it's better if you run it on a second NIC in your PC and hook it to the BBA via a cross-over cable (you'll find out why if you go with the router path).

For connecting a router/switch/hub to a device (PC, GameCube, Xbox, Tivo, etc.), use a patch (straight-through) cable. For directly connecting two devices without a router/switch/hub, use a crossover cable. The type of Ethernet cable is pretty much irrelevant as long as it's CAT5, CAT5e, or CAT6. I bought CAT6 cables to future-proof my setup since they're dirt-cheap on eBay.
