Fine, now i've read all the tutorials, faqs, help topics, tried asking in the chat channel.. And nothing..
Im using the newest KAI but how the **** do i connect my cube?
My computer has two network cards, and it's all wired up, ready to go..
Sitting in Mario Kart Arena, and it says on other ppl: 0 Xbox 1GCN. 0 Xbox 3GCN!
Where do I see if its connected to my cube?
I go into LAN mode in Mario Kart and it has 180 seconds before it cancels..
Other ppl are playing right before my eyes and I can't!
I don't use a router or firewall or some of that shit..
Im really pissed off, cuz i feel it should work....but it doesn't..

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated....

OK, couple of things

If you're seeing ppl with multiple cubes, you should get www.yellowinternet.co.uk/kai0006d.zip - as they are probably fastweb users- and their cubes get reported wrong.

Secondly, PAL does not work with NTSC - and 50hz will not work against 60hz. Check those things first..

To see if Kai has found your cube, turn the cube off, then log into kai , then turn the cube on a look for games - then go into the Performance tab - it should show a "local device" for your cube.

Apart from these things, check that others can see your ping - thats important..

Ok, it appeared a Local Device when I did that, but now what?
Im only playing against PAL users, so that's no issue..

How do I see i if the other ppl sees my ping? As it says in the instructions : For 2 NIC users, it is highly unlikely you will need to do any of this.
And I am using 2 networks card, so they most likely see my ping? right? Or am i supposed to see it myself as well?
I don't understand how I can start a game, or see other games..

Am I just plain dumb?
Sorry if im asking too dumb questions, im usually not this dumb..
Thx for the help though..

Ok, i found someone today, started at the same time.
Couldn't connect though... Just sez it couldn't find any games..
So I give up..
I'll wait for the final version..
But other than that, Kai is looking great though. =)

I've given up as well. I am also trying to connect with the Gamecube and am having no luck. I have read the tutorials and FAQs and find them anything but helpful. I thought this program was supposed to be simpler than Warp Pipe.

I have tried figuring out what the problem is, but it is difficult when a forum post goes unanswered for six hours. Also, I do not even know where to begin asking questions because I do not understand how the program functions and cannot find a good tutorial anywhere. Warp Pipe may be more complicated, but at least I can find a tutorial that simplifies it. I want to use this program because it seems much more advanced than Warp Pipe. However, I just do not understand how it works, or why it won't work with me.
