Yeah yeah slow down.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO USE THE LAUNCH FEATURE IN BO-XLINK. Some people say it works fine, some don't. Just launch your game how you would normally, it doesn't matter. As long as you at least run the game. The launch feature is there to help speed up things for people, instead of going back to their dashboard and selecting the game.

Also, unless your XBox is using a Wireless Ethernet Bridge, you'll have NO LUCK AT ALL playing over XLink. The other alternative is to hardwire the XBox as well as the PC to router, which I don't think you want to do.

Yes I know you can log in / chat / make rooms while you're on wireless, but unless the XBox is also wireless, you're not going to have much luck.

MS brought out a WEB, and Linksys have their WET11 which works real good. Once you get the WEB, you need to go to XLink advanced options. Leave Halo or whatever at "Waiting for Games". Then select the MAC which corresponds to the XBox as 'real MAC'.

Good luck, and don't post with so many !'s heh
