Well just make it so XBMC doesn't take over by setting a stupid IP in Engine IP in the XBMC Kai settings. Run Halo 2 normally.

There *might* be a bug where your engine status (joining / hosting) is reset when XBMC takes over, but I doubt that.

I tried my best to read this as *not* being a solution, but it is.
Remember that Kai can have only 1 client program. It's either the one on the PC ór the one in XBMC itself. Setting the configuration to accept both will result on one of them to be shut down.

Make up your mind on which of the two you want to use and if you decide to use the client on the PC set the Kai Engine's ip-address to a non-existing ip address in your network. (like dfunked said)
