Xlink won't work | Can't see any Games

Is your network reachable? Yes
Are you using a router? Yes
Did you set a static IP on the PC running Kai? No
Did you forward port 30000 to the static IP? Yes. My modem/router assigns portforwarding to my MAC adress, therefore I don't need to set a static IP and it will automatically forward to my adress, even if it changes due to a new DHCP lease.
Did you click the globe after forwarding to see if your network goes reachable? Yes
What console are you using? Xbox Classic
Is your console being detected? Yes
Brief description of your network setup: Modem/router connected to a switch, xbox and PC are both connected to the switch
Model numbers of the router, and modem? You probably don't know them since they're pretty much region bound: AVM FritzBox 7590
Do you use a software firewall? What brand? Have you made any changes to it? Windows Firewall, Xlink UI and Engine are both allowed to pass, inbound and outbound
Operating System? Win 10 64bit
Problem description?
Everything looks fine from configuration wise, but my mate and I (he has pretty much the exact same setup as I do except for a FritzBox 7490, earlier model) just can't find any games. We tried Time Splitters 3 - Future Perfect on Xbox aswell as Halo 2. We googled like crazy and did find some answers just like enable NAT/PAT, use port forwarding (Port 30000) to the PC on TCP and UDP (which we both did) and much more, but nothing really works. Our consoles are being found immediatly, this works fine. But still - We can't find games.

Code:

My Metrics screen output looks like this:

Code:

Orbital Name TX Ottawa DEV

Public Port 30000
Engine Version 7.4.33

Up Engine Traffic 0
Down Engine Traffic 0
Chat Traffic 0
Down Chat Traffic 0
Up Orb Traffic 0
Down Orb Traffic 0
PSSDK/WinPcap (again?) Winpcap
Mac Cache Entrie 0
Broadcast Traffic Inbound 0
Broadcast Traffic Outbound 0
Unicast Traffic Inbound 0
Unicast Traffic Outbound 0
Wireless SSID n/a

Inbound and ountbound traffic sometimes show some bytes flowing on both machines. I can't select PSSDK instead of Winpcap, the Ethernet adaptor was chosen automaticly.

Any suggestions? Crying or Very sad

Thanks in advance!

Have you tried connecting to other players? It might only be one of you having an issue.

If you can see broadcast traffic outbound while searching, that's a good sign.

Can you establish a ping to the majority of users?
