i use xlink kai (it doesnt matter that its not xbconnect). and ive used xbconnect. they both worked fine before. now i have a completley wireless set up. i use a powerbook G4 with airport xtreem card built in. its on the same network as my xbox witch uses the xbox issued 802.11g and 802.11b netwok compatible wireless- g adapter.
i know they are on the same network because i set it up on the xbox(with the original ms dash. i use evox for everything else). and i could see my home network on my tv/xbox. also i have no problem ftping wirelessly. so,... hmmm,... i dont know why when i turn on kai and join the halo 2 americas arena, turn on my xb and look for a game, i see nothing.
maybe it would help for whoever is reading this to know that my wireless airport xtreem router is set to not dish out ip's. my laptop connects to the internet using dhcp. i have a dynex router comming of my cable modem. and my airport xtreem comming of that. (my roommate needs a hard line)
just to make it easy:
cable-modem
modem-router
router-pc(roommates), router- airport xtreem wireless router
airport- xbox(wifi), airport- powerbook(wifi)
also if any mods read this and are down. it would be rad to see a tuturial called "wireless tunnleing" that describes one thing and doesnt go all over the place. the network tuts are great but they dont help wifi heads.
edit: no firewall.

Yup good one.. You should jot down everything as your learning too.
ok.
1. Have you tried turning off all FIREWALLS..?
2. Have you tried turning off encryption on your wirelss network?
I would suggest rying both.. If you can ftp into the xbox then there should be no reason why you cannot play xbconnect or xlink kai..
Personally i used to always have issues with firewalls and had to turn them off until i configured them correctly..
Actually i was going to play XBCONNECT last night and today only that they are offline.. dam it.
