  2. Xbox Gateway, anyone? by Rick+the+Red · · Score: 1 · on XLink Kai7 Gears Up For Xbox/PS2/GC Tunneling

    How does this compare to the Xbox Gateway?

  3. Re:halo ? by MasterOfMagic · · Score: 1 · on Xbox Live Goes Online

    You can already play Halo online without subscribing to XBox Live. My friends and I do it all of the time. For Linux (and only Linux, but there is a boot disc in case you don't want to install Linux), go to http://www.xboxgw.com/ for the software. If you're a GameSpy junkie, you can use their software too, from http://www.gamespyarcade.com/software/support/tunn el_xbox.shtml. Note, I haven't used any games other than Halo, but supposedly any game with a system link functionality will work over these.

  4. My Personal Dreams for Online XBox by DaedalusLogic · · Score: 2 · on XBox Live Network

    I'd REALLY like to see a distributed effort to host games like every other good title in the PC world... In addition to a subscription... which yes has its merits... I want something like Tribes III on XBox where the XBoxer's can join in on servers maintained by the gaming faithful... I think this is practical to sell games and is already being done... by these folks. They have a little gateway program based on Linux. What's your dream for XBox Connectivity? what PC games would you like to see in a networked console?

  5. This does raise an interesting possibility... by ZaMoose · · Score: 2 · on U.S. Playstation 2 Linux Hits the Streets.

    Namely, running XBoxGW on your PS2 to enable you to play Halo online. Betcha Billy G. would pitch a hissy fit *grin*

  7. Re:Its WAY easier than that! by srvivn21 · · Score: 3, Informative · on XBox Netplay Already
    Very cool idea. I see a couple of issues with it as a viable solution for many users:

    1) Both of you must have a dedicated gateway computer (with the xboxgw software, you just need to reboot, using a boot disk). Not a problem for some, but the person quoted in the forum thread only has a Win98 box (with one NIC, and is "not a tech wiz".

    2) According to the xboxgw HOWTO:

    ...if you attempted to play more than two (1 to 1) players, then it would really kill Jbandwidth[sic], as it would mesh (bridge to everywhere) all traffic. This isn't needed, since with the "System Link" games, one console is a server, and all other clients only need to talk to that one server, not to eachother. Thus, this would be another huge waste of bandwith.

    Perhaps I am off base here, as I have not actually used TUN/TAP, nor do I own a XBox. Maybe all you would have to do is create links from each client to the server (a start instead of a mesh). Very good thinking all the same.
