Title: Will I Get Banned?
Post by: AirrezzZ on April 13, 2003, 02:54:00 PM
yesterday I was playing Ghost Recon from hdd (chip on) in coop mode (system link). But the first time I started the game I tried to connect to live (by mistake, offcourse). It starts in the online sign in tab and I went there to account selection and selected my account. It tried to connect to live so I canceled it right away but I'm affraid I will get banned the next time I'll connect. Alltough the xbox couldn't possibly connect to live (cause I had a system link to another xbox) I'm afraid the xbox noted the detection of my chip. Is this true? Will I get banned? Offcourse I could try to connect, but is it smart to note my xyz codes first?

Thanx...

note the xyz codes first with the mod off this time.  It sounds like you may get banned.  Post your xyz's.

ok here are my XYZ codes (I'll post them in the other topic to)

X 0000-000D
Y 00A8-4800
Z 0000-0000

UL 99 Kb              DL 380 Kb
(got ADSL basic but I'm currently downloading something else, hence the low UL and DL)

IP and DNS is set manual
PPPOE and advanced settings are off

4800 means I'm not banned (yet) but how do I know if my xbox detected a modchip?

I think the only way is to connect.  See what happens.  You may have gotten lucky this time.  No point in putting it off.

No, he wasn't connected up to his modem, he was linked to another xbox.

There is no way that you will be banned. I have done the same thing myself a couple of times. Once i tried to go Live and my chip was on, but luckily i had booted the evox cd a while before so my ip settings were screwed up, thus i never connected to the live server so they didn't detect the bios.  Last week i purposely hit the live play button in ghost recon with my chip on and my cable unplugged to prove a point to my friend. I am still on live to this day. You will be fine.

Don't make stupid assumptions. He may very well connect to a home network (say a hub/router) that's connect to the internet. Awwww... did you every think of that?? Just because you use a cross over cable to connect your xboxes doesn't mean everyone else use the same method. Xbox is a PC, and it's the server side that bans you. Obviously he had it connected to the internet. People also uses DHCPs to ftp to evox so don't assume their ip setting is automatically changed. And you're a dumb ass if you think you can be banned with out connecting to the lan. Call your friend a dumbass for me.

BTW you don't know if xbox lived server banned you. XYZ codes are only viable after you've been banned. There might be a server delay on banning people which sometimes is immediate, sometimes it takes up to one week.

Perhaps he did, and read my post completely?! I used a own made crosscable and connected it to another xbox so there wasn't a connection to the internet. Like I said in my post. At home I do use a DHCP router.

no I did not have a connection. But at home I do use a DHCP router.

uhh.gif then I guess I'm a dumb ass to. So If I unplug the network cable when playing games with the chip on, I'll never get banned? Even though I try to connect to live?! My Xbox doesn't detect a modchip; makes some kind of note and the next time I really connect to live send it to the server so I get banned? (I'm a bit paranoid perhaps)

AirrezzZ, you can not be banned if you are not connected to the internet when you hit a Live tab. You will be fine trust me.

Thanx. Then it's a nice precaution (unplug the network cable) when playing with the mod chip on. It's strange that I haven't seen this tip in any of the tutorials regarding live and a modded xbox though.

Well, it's kinda assumed if you know how banning on xbox live works. It's all server side (as we know now), nothing from the client.

Like i said before. LMAO!! You really made yourself look like a fool. I didn't assume anything at all. You didn't read the post properly and decided to go at me. There was no need for the tone of your post.

Grow up fool.
