xlink kai - help with speed/connection issues - halo 2
Posted: Sun Jul 02, 2006 2:42 pm
Hi All,
I'm hoping that someone from here can please help me with my problem(s).
Before i start, i must state that i have limited net access and cant get onto most net sites (from work you see). So can any help be physically inserted rather than links given, thank you very much in advance.
Well my problem is this.
I've got a working network connection between my xbox and pc. i can ftp fine, but i have never been able to get the rss feeds, weather + kai in xbmc to work..... thats no biggie though (if someone can list a step by step detailed guide to get this working that would be a great bonus
.
I can connect to kai through my pc no problems, all the stats show up fine and i can play halo 2 on it.
The biggest problem seems to be a lag issue, if i host on kai i can sometimes have 1 or 2 other players with me fine, but after that they complain of lag. If i join someone elses arena, often my connection gives them lag (even when my ping on their end is something like 60). I run only kai and turn all other app's off. no firewall or antivirus is running. i can play (with lag) and ftp with the same connection (eg. i dont mess around with the ip settings etc..).
I run my xbox straight into my pc's network card, and my dsl connection runs into my pc via usb.
I cant find my problem in any sites forum or faq - i've tried reconfiguring ip's gatewatys etc... but nothing seems to fix it. Perhaps getting a connection where all my rss feeds etc.. work will help with this kai lag issue?? Perhaps my connection isn't 100% even though it says it is?
Any and all help would be most appreciated, thanks very much to anyone who takes the time
