hey every1...

i solved all my problems about logging in and detecting games on Bo-Xlink... but now, i want to actually play!!! i go to the rooms, and wenever i chat, i get no reply and wen i try to join the game, i find nothing in the system link... it just keeps looking...  i tried with Halo and R6-3..

this happens from the PC and from Bo-Xlink... i cnt chat....

i c the games on Xlink but cnt seem to see them in the actual game while searching for system link games...

i updated everything (including the WinPCap to the 3.0.1 alpha but still no luck :()

thx in advance...
waiting for a reply!!

The issue with Halo is that you can't join a game in progress. So, if the players who made a room didn't select "squash room" or whatever on the start of the game then you see a room and no games since they are already playing.  So either wait for them to finish or find a room where they haven't started yet (or use messenger/WGN modes).

Other than Halo -most games you go into a room and wait to see local XBoxes.  Then launch the game.

It's not absolutely fool-proof and perfect but you'll get the hang of it pretty fast.  <

That's what i thought was happining to me but I was even talking to a bunch of people...who kept saying im supposed to see the game on the right of the screen...I had this same problem with XBC too!

By the way I do se my xbox's mac under local but for some reason I can't see everybody's mac under remote...could this be it?? Like if theres 12 ppl in the room i may only see about 5-7 mac address's

If he had xbc installed, right off the bat I am going to say locate and install a copy of winpcap 3.01 alpha.

remove any old winpcap install, reboot, install new one, reboot...then try.
