360 Doesnt Respond To Ping / Portscan Even Though I Can Ftp!
« on: January 09, 2011, 09:24:00 AM »

responding to ping requires something that is listening to ping requests and responding...it doesn't come for "free" just because the port is there.

If you are writing code for the 360 to open a socket you must set the privilege on your xex to allow insecure sockets, and you have to setsockopt as well.  do a bit of research and you should turn up the specifics.  If you can't I can put them here when I have a bit more time.
