right due to my dog ive lost my cd which has my usb cable modem driver onit so am unable to set up my xbox to go online through pc - is it possible to just go straight into the modem to play xlink kai and if so how!
cheers mate got no problem networking managed to sort that out been ftping stuff for weeks i just map my hard drive via network places and it works fine - my problem now is if i have both modem plugged in via usb, and my xbox networked through ethernet card on my pc for some reason i cant connect to xlink kai oorbitial mesh, after some attempts of repairing this i got a message saying theres a conflict with your dns cant remeber what else, the funny thing is when i dont have the xbox connected or i disable the e-card kai connects! argh! pc problem but ive had kai working before any advice???

I'm really not sure. I've never used the setup you're describing. Have you checked the xlink help page? I have a freind who is microsoft certified in networking and if I see him in the next couple of days I'll have him check out your post and see what he thinks. _________________
thank you!!! i did use the kai web page tosetup, and its set how i done it before ill give it another try but dont know whats going on, might try a fresh win xp install and just use the usb to modem not even set up the ecard help aprreciated

The only way that I know to set up Kai without a networked PC is with a special Router with one of the linux firmwares...
That will tell you whether your router is capable of such modification... I can't help you though the actually flashing process, though, because I bought mine on ebay with this firmware already loaded...

Some ISP's require your xbox's MAC address to be registered in order to connect, also I would recommend that you connect via ethernet cable, not USB. USB limits your connection speed.
Your setup should be... modem, router, w/PC & xbox connected to router. I understand that you had it working before but this is the recommended method.

It's recommended but not necessary, I was just noting some other possibilities.
I work with internet setups every day, it's part of my day job.
You can do it as option B on KAI's site but make sure that the cable between xbox and PC is a crossover cable, or it will not work properly.
yes i have a crossover cable or i wouldnt be able to ftp, please see my problem as it is i have NO problem FTPing i have had my box connected for ages in my network its just for some reason when i load kai with the xbox connected via eithernet and internet via usb kai dont load or when it does it says orbital mesh lost i believe its either a dns conflict - woteva that is how do i sort it or for some reason kais trying to use the ethernet card to connect to the internet when its got my xbox init or my pc thinks my xbox is an internet connection not a computer in my network this is frustrating me cos peeps are telling me to do things i already know!!!! why does every1 assume i cant ftp? i put a bloody bigger hard drive in so obv with a 1.6 need to use xbhdm with my eeprom!

Since you appear to be getting frustrated with our attempts to help you... and I do understand your frustration. You may want to try to contact the admins at xlink... since they designed it. I'm sorry you are unhappy with our trying to help. Good luck.
Can one of our admins move this topic to the correct forum? Maybe someone there may have come across the same problem.

Just out of curiosity, are you using DHCP for your IP or static? Sometimes using DHCP works better for your scenario. Based on the info that you provided earlier, it seems that your DNS Server settings are incorrect. If you use DHCP those settings are set automatically. BTW DNS Server settings are the part of your network configuration that allows internet access.
