XLink finds Xbox, but Xbox wont find games

Posted: Wed Oct 20, 2004 2:04 am

I just downloaded XLink kai, and configured it from what I understood(And yes, I entered a port that I got open).

But it still won't find a PAL game(Havent' tried NTSC cuz I'm using PAL, heh).
It just keeps searching, and searching +++

Is your network reachable? Yes
Are you using a port-forward? Yes

Do you use a software firewall? What brand? Have you made any changes to it? Nope
Operating System? Windows XP Pro SP1
Problem description? Everything working fine, and connected, but XBox wont find any games, nor can others see my 'Box

Oh and;

Done

well my only sugestion atm would be to try a diffrent game.

Halo is not always the best to test with.

Other than that it sounds like your setup correctly and should be working.

How are you connected to the internet? Netgear Modem... But How USB/CAT5

How are you connected to the xbox? Switch?... What network card is being used.

I am picturing this atm

Netgear Modem (USB)-->PC --> NIC --> Switch --> XBOX

if that is how it is set up, make sure to select the network card the xbox is connected to in kaiconfig (you may already have it that way from the looks of your config.) What is NIC #2?

CAT5 or w/e.

I don't know much 'bout my stuff exept what's inside my machine Embarassed

Oh and that netgear thingy was a typo haha.
My modem is a Netopia one >.>

And the rest.. Not in me head oO

Are you 100% sure the network is reachable?

Perhaps ask a few people in Arena if they can see your ping..

They could see it all, just not my Xbox =/

Are you sure that allows *UDP* traffic? Maybe just have a new port-forward 30000 UDP, as I would imagine 8080 to be TCP only.

8080 is highly used as TCP for sure, I would change it to 30000 as dfunked requests.

I opened it on both... Anyways I'd have to do to tomorrow as I have to call my ISP to tell them to forward 30000 ><!

Your ISP blocks ports? I am not sure I follow there. Confused

I'm familiar with that particular Netopia router and it looks like it's configured where it should work for you. If diagnostics says the network is reachable then the port forward is working. I'm not sure why you started the port forward so low - it only needs to go from 30000 to 30000 but it should still get the job done.

I would recommend trying to meet up with one of us moderators in Kai and test this with you. I'm pretty sure that you can meet up with one of us at a time thats convenient as we're spread out across the world. I'm sure we can get this licked once and for all and get you online.

Yeah, I agree..

The guy is using port 8080 - no problems with that I think.. If his network is reachable, people can see his pings (might wanna confirm with him) - but yeah..

So, given all that - it makes little sense.. we need to get you in an Arena with a mod, they can probably get you sorted..

What ISP have you got SiegWarheit?

Start regedit and find sting "ipenablerouter" set the value from 0 to 1.

Btw, http-alt 8080/udp HTTP Alternate (see port 80). Don't go that low.

Posted: Thu Oct 28, 2004 2:25 pm

hehe the only time i tell people to go that low is if XBC is working for them as in they already set the port forward for that app.

I just tell them to stick the same port xbc is using in for the kaiport Smile

other than that if they haven't set any port forwards, 30000+ is usualy safe.

Ahh I'm the back Laughing

Anyways, help would be nice Rolling Eyes
