Im not sure if this should be in the Online section, or the Xbox section, feel free to move it mods if its in the wrong place, anyway...

Lets play some XBox online!, Me and Gamecop where just playing Star Wars Clone Wars online, and we decided it would be cool to schedule some games.

Gamecop has Star Wars Clone Wars, and Tetris Worlds (or at least thats what i know of, I dont think he has any more yet though)

By the way, Tetris rules, shut up lol

I have Star Wars Clone Wars, Tetris Worlds, Serious Sam (XB Connect ONLY), Mechassault, and Halo (XB Connect ONLY)

I have an Xbox Live account, My Gamertag is "Shibathedog" without quotes, But me and gamecop where thinking more XB Connect because he doesnt have it yet

If anyone wants to start a big game of Tetris/Star Wars: Clone wars then post

OR if you want to start a game of any of the others i have listed, post there too, please make sure to specify wether it wil be on Live or XB Connect (If you have Gamespy Tunnel, go get XB Connect, its better, but if you MUST, specify if it will be on Gamespy Tunnel)

Heck, if you want to start ANY Xbox Games online, schedule them here, lets make this the official Xbox Online thread

But onto the currently scheduling-in-progress game

Id be willing to participate in the Star wars clone wars game, and im sure gamecop would too, how about you?

i still have yet to try xbconnect or xlink but i wonder if its possible to just use my router and cat5 cable?

uhh...thats what you do pretty much

http://www.xbconnect.com/ Get the program here

http://www.xbchelp.com/ get help with it here!

Yeah i helped Gamecop get settled in. I opened up a server of Clone Wars just for us.....I kicked his arse! lol we didnt know wtf we were doin though.

I do not have xboxlive and do not intend on gettin it so all the online gaming will have to be XBconnect as i havent really enjoyed my experiences with Xlink.

I have a lot of titles too, im down with some 1emu gamin.

Oh yeah, if you dont have a communicator (headset) get one! Makes the game experience that much better and yes, XBconnect supports it.


Holla

I have confirmed the CAT5 (cross over) cable works. So no need for a router. Just directly connect the CAT5 cable from your XBOX to the PC and your set!

What's XLink?

Xlink is like XBConnect but crappier and i think it runs on the console, Its built into Action Replay isnt it?

I use a crossover to my PC also, it works great, wheras this type of connection would not work with Gamespy Tunnel

Im open for gaming tomorrow, anyone else?

BTW, if i go to my friend Ryan's house tomorrow, he is REALLY good at Halo, if someone wants a challenge, come and play him, he'll be more than willing to play

hey quick question, I’ve been searching up and down a ton of forums and i can't recall where i saw it. maybe some can redirect me to the red hearing lol. any how i once saw a post that talked about playing emus online with xboxlink or something. does any one know if this is at all true? i remember reading that the guy who posted said he could but arhhhhhh the woes he didn't say how. been doing some digging but i've found nothing at all on this anywhere on any of the tunneling pages.

028

woot i got it working fine with my router using normal cat5, too bad i suck at halo

Game= splintercell:PT or Rainbow six 3

Time= 7:00pm(cst) Fridays all through the weekend

Service= XBC(xbox connect)

Server name= Orochi

I will start at 7:00pm(cst) every Friday and keep the server up until Sunday at 10:00pm(cst) The server will not close as long as someone is willing to play either game!!! I look foward to some great gaming





BOX OWNZ

I have done it,,

man i wish i had dsl so i could play with you guys...im still trying to get it! damn verizon! theres construction going on around here so hopefully a line would be put up soon!

well you could try shiba's trick for dial-up untill you can get dsl

yeah, it works pretty well, although i havent tested it much with XBConnect, ive only tried it with XBox Live, but it should have around the same results, then again, alot more data is sent in a direct system link game than an online one to save bandwidth.

anyway, its the 8th Inning of the Mets game right now that im watching, after the game is over, anyone want to play?

(Prican, Ill play you in Halo)

i did laggy like crazy ! it took me 4 min to jump off of a platform in halo lol maybe tetris would be better but i dont have it lol
xbconnect + dial up = bad
i dont do xbox live because i have a modded xbox for emulators and junk
ill get dsl pretty soon then we can kick each others bootays
btw how is clone wars is multiplayer how? i havent played much of starwars do u just kick each other up with lightsabers or somthing?

there is a lightsaber mode if you download it with Xbox Live, otherwise just ships

and by the way, I HAVE tested Halo with XBConnect, its horrible unless its 1 on 1

Star wars seems to work ok though, as with some other games, i havent done it very extensivley with anything but Halo though.

BTW, My parents are using the TV right now, so i cant play online until their boring ass movie is over..sorry..

I can definatly play after the movie though

Ok I dont have an Xbox(but I might for the hell of it )and for my games to pick up XBC, does my crossover cable needs to be in my PC connected to an XBox?

yes, but the Hub solution is easier if your PC only has 1 Ethernet port
BTW, I can play online now, lets go!!

whoops i forgot to mention i have Unreal Championship!! i have that too

<--- that was me when playing Unreal Championship 2003 against the all mighty Shibathedog

rofl

yeah, i kicked his arse pretty bad, but it was a good game anyways

glitch hook a man up! please. any chance i can get u to post a how to or at least ur setup. lets get some alpha3 online man. i know you want some of this.

028

Its not even worth the trouble. Honestly its not worth it.

im availible for online play now, if anyone wants too

Halo works great on xbconnect if u can find a good host with a alot of upstream. (more upstream, more u can host without lag). I can usually host about 8-10 people without any lag. I'm down to play some xbox online. Gamertag is brightsons.

I can play the following over xbconnect:

Amped 2
Rallisport challenge 2
Splinter cell: pandora tomorrow
Halo
Tony Hawk underground.

I can play the following over xbox live cause I have the actual game:
Project Gotham Racing 2
NBA 2k3
Capcom vs. Snk 2
Toca Race Driver 2

but since I can connect me modem into my USB port, Will I still be able to put my crossover cable in my ethernet port?

brightsons is right about halo cuz i did play it fine when i tried it but when shiba and i wanted to play each other, it didn't work well at all even when i hosted the game (i got cable and he has dial-up).

after that lil hell, we played unreal championship 2003 and it played well with me hosting it

well can I

Im going to buy some Cat5 cable from some dude on ebay, what do i need to do when i get them? Here's the link to the Cable And i have Dsl and some games:

Medal of honor: FT
Halo
Red Faction 2
Going to get Mech Assualt

What else is good, and you guys know where i can get a mod chip for the PS1?

yeah, with Halo and Dialup, you have to be playing somone 1on 1 and the host is on like a colledge network or something for it to work

and yes you can use a crossover DanMan

thnak yuo. Finally I got a response

If u run a crossover cable from your pc's network card to your xbox and setup ICS (internet connection sharing) or some kind sharing utilty on your pc then yes it will work.

You can't use the usb port and ethernet port on your modem at the same time. What kinda OS do u have???

I use XP

Read my guide on using Xbox Live with dialup and it tells you how to enable ICS

Can you still download the extra stuff for mech assualt with out xboxlive?

no you have to log on to live to get official downloadable content. or get it from official xbox magazine demo discs. might be able to find demo disc isos somewhere. if anybody knows of a place post it here. I never did get the extra doa content.

ive seen them on Overnet

thanks shiba, I'll look for. (as soon as my other slow a$$ overnet DL's are done.) I'm really starting to hate p2p. everthing is always so damn slow. I finally get DSL and I download at like 4kb on overnet & shareaza.

use bittorrent files, they're way lot faster.

I seem to be having bad luck with torrents too. I guess I always wanna DL the not so popular stuff.

yeah i guess so

How do i get this thing going? I just got my cat 5 cable today. What do i do, i dont have a router.

what do you wanna get going? live or xbconnect? how is your modem connected to your pc? if you want to set up xbconnect you can do a few things. I have my modem connected with a usb cord and my crossover cable from the xbox to my nic. my pc is set up with ICS and xbconnect, works fine. exept all anyone plays is halo on there.

the only problem my set up has is when I turn off my xbox it disconnects my dsl. not a big deal but annoying. if anyone knows a fix for that please share.

XBconnect. Whats a nic? I dont think i have one of those. My computer doesnt have a enthernet port but my dsl modem does.

so no ethernet port huh? so i guess your modem is hooked up via usb. that ethernet port on your modem is prolly only for connecting the modem with an ethernet cable. go get yourself a nic (network interface card)it'll add an ethernet port to your pc. they only cost about 20 bucks. or a router if you wanna do that but a router costs more then just a basic network card.

Even if he did get a router he would still need a nic (network card).

THis is the easiest way to do it. You'll need the following:

NIC
cross-over cable (its like a cat 5 cable except the wiring is different)
Xbox
xbconnect
Setup internet connection sharing (ICS) or home networking on your pc (it depends what OS u have: win98, win2000, winxp, etc.)

Run the crossover cable from your NIC thats in your pc to your xbox. Then setup ICS and you should be good to go. If you need more help check out xbconnect help and look at setup D.

Damn, why didnt yall tell me this shitake mushrooms before?

heheheh. well I am surprised that your pc doesn't have a eathernet port. but like I sayed. a nic at bestbuy is like 20 bucks.
and as for a crossover cable. if what you have isn't one get an xbox system link cable. it's a crossover cable and it's cheaper then a crossover found in the pc section of your local store.

Thats the easyest for HIS config,

If you have Dialup, use the same method and enable ICS (internet connection sharing)

If you have an ethernet port, use a hub

well i got project Gotham 2, but it doesnt work on dialup. But i will be able to play you at friends houses and stuff.
