Hi - I have a friend 2 streets away that has an xbox 360 and we want to play each other.
We both have a copy of the game and both have wireless networks setup at home.
We dont have any interested in Xbox live so have never played online.

Which tool is currently the best for our light weight purposes?
There seems to be a huge range of them.

I read the pinned topic but all the links do not work.

try xboc connect at www.xbconnect.com or google xlink kai and try that. I use them both and Live and all 3 work great....but on those first 2 it may depend what game you are trying to play online if will work or not.
