Are People Still Using Xlink?, Or is there an alternative? Options

[Patchedgamer]

Hey all,

I've finally got round to looking at playing online with my jtagged xbox only to find that there doesn't seem like there is that many people online to actually play with (and i didnt realize how few games don't have system link)

Now i wasn't expecting xbox live numbers but i was hoping there would be a fair few active players...

So my question is, does anyone still use xlink, is there an alternative or is the only option xbox live?

I can't even get it to work properly. Both, my console and my PC (that runs Xlink Kai) are connected to my router via LAN cable. I can see my xbox from xlink kai and I can see the games. Tried to create my own game (Dirt 3 - the only game I have that was in the list of xlink) but when I checked System Link from the console (dirt3), it said it doesn't find any games. I forwarded the port 3000 and my PC has a static IP, but nothing.

Do I have to do something with my console's IP and MAC? When I get home I'll try COD:MW3 because it's the only game that has players.. maybe it will work then.. or maybe I should have created a game myself in dirt3?

Anyhow wtf, there were no games other than COD:MW3 that had players
