also, some games are not working at the moment... you are connecting to the same game right?

maybe certain ones were banned for being on early (i don't know if they did that...but hey)

                                    Again, no.

The ONE thing that is true of the ones which are not working, is that these machines were turned on earlier in the week when all the trouble started.

I firmly believe that this is a Kerberos machine authentication issue. That somehow what MS was doing screwed up THEIR ID's on their servers.

This is NOT a mod chip issue at ALL!

i currently don't get live until tomorrow, can someone esle test with a mod?

                                    At the moment I'm using REVOLT as a test bed.

MotoGP and Wacked do not produce a response from the servers. Revolt does on my working systems.

Of course I get NO response from anything on the non-working box.

opjose, do backups work?

                                    Revolt connects from the HARD DRIVE!

At the moment I get no connections from Wacked and MotoGP.

Hmm. What other games other than NFL have Xblive support?

as in what?

[opjose]

Ok I tested swapping the hard drives and/or software from working to non-working systems.

No-GO!

The XBLive dashboard consistently showed the same serial number no matter which drive was in the aflicted machine.

E. G. it's being read from the eeprom.

I also had packet sniffers running.

In ALL cases.

Working machines SENT and received UDP kerberos authentication attempts.

Non working machines NEVER got a reply.

E.G. the servers have a problem or are purposely not responding to certain serial numbers.

This is -NOT- a MOD chip issue.

I go online with ToeJam and Earl on the working machines.

Atomic -


Dream on and see the X Box site. They have had lauch parties already - they have already upgraded the servers.

Folk said 'it's not a mod chip prblem, wait till 15th, then worry if it doesn't work'.

Now the 15th has come, they move the goalposts! (ie panic later!)

Eyes need to be opened..

I have no problem connecting with mod chipped or TSOP flashed systems.

I do have problems connecting with Virgin unmodded systems.

hopefully M$ jus temporarily banned those serial #'s that don't work to not jam up servers
