Help! I can connect to XLINK messenger fine, I can enter rooms, send and receive messages, am able to see my local and other remote xbox's, can see games and my xbox name and player name shows up BUT when a Halo game starts, either I can't get into the game or a message pops up saying that the network connection has been lost. When I do get into the game, i can look around the room but as soon as I try to move, the game ends. I've also tried to play top spin and while that game connects, the lag time is horrible.

I'm using a linksys wireless access point router (BEFW11S4). Any suggestions?

Here is a bit more information on my current setup:

PC hardwired to router
xbox hardwired to router
upgraded xlink to 2.2.4
firewall has been turned off and the required ports have been opened on the router

I've read some of some others having similiar problems but their setups included a wireless connection to either the PC or the xbox.

any suggestions?

maybe a winpcap problem? try uninstalling winpcap and grabbing version 3.01 alpha. BE SURE TO REBOOT AFTER UNINSTALLING AND AGAIN AFTER INSTALLING.

Have you cleared out the WET11 options in XLink -> Config -> Advanced Options?

I tried both suggestions (upgraded to winpcap 3.01 and cleared the wet11 option)but am still having the same problem. Any other ideas?

is the firewall on winxp off? ZA off? i had the same problem and i turned them both off and now it works fine.

Are you sure that the ports 34518 and 34519 are opened for the computers IP running xlink? And not the xboxes?
