Download Ethereal, you need winpcap aswell since you're using Windows. When they're both installed and you've rebooted the pc do the following;

1. Close down *all* internet requiering apps, including Kai.
2. Start Ethereal and click on the white icon up left (live capture).
3. Select your network adapter in the dialog window. Once you've done that start the dumping.
4. Start Kai, and make your way to the correct arena.
5. Start the game on the Xbox. Enter multiplayer and try to join the systemlink game.
6. When you don't find any games, after lets say 5-10 seconds, stop the capture.

Please be faily quick when doing this. I hate going over dumps with 100k+ packets captured.

Mail the dump to nospam @ packetme . com

We will see. The dump will reveal.

Received. Forward. (One can only assume you've tried with NIS off.)

QUOTE(XL-OpBot)
If you are looking for how to forward a port try http://www.portforward.com Just pick any port say 30000 UDP and forward it to the IP of the PC running Kai!

Check your network.

I'm in Arena/XBox/First Person Shooter/Halo 2/Americas/DOS4GW

The description on my private room is Testing Network. The password is test.

Edit: Fixed. Closing this thread then.
