Xlink Wgn Mode On Different Subnets
« on: September 22, 2003, 02:07:00 PM »
On PC1 , create an XP Network bridge between the Real NIC and the WLAN NIC - *DONT* include the USB NIC (if there is one) in the bridge.. Then ensure that ICS (or whatever u use ) know to use the Virtual Bridge adapter as the Local NIC for ICS..

On PC2, do the same.. create a bridge between LAN and WLAN.

Set PC1's bridge IP to 192.168.0.1 , subnet 255.255.0.0

Either:

a.) Set all other pc's / xboxes to DHCP,

or better,

b.) Manually assign IP's to all other xboxes / pc's in the 192.168.x.x range... *ALL ON SUBNET 255.255.0.0*

Reboot everything, starting with PC1..

Run XLink on PC1 .. both xboxes will detect as local..

Job done.. (and u can then also use normal syslink together)

Yah we got it working earlier by bridging those connections. But there's one problem: the LAN is 100 mbit and the WLAN is 54 mbit. When we bridge those, the speed is awful [i'm talking about less than 10 kBps]. I've heard it could've been the wireless drivers that were crappy, but better ones aint available.

Oh, and the routing functions will be disabled if everything is on the same subnet.
