Can I connect 2 X-Boxes w/o Live?

PepeMarx · #1 08-03-2004, 08:42

Was wondering if I can connect 2 x-boxes with out going thru live... 2 cases.

Case 1 - On a local network?

Case 2 - Someone hosting a game... can I play against just my buddy while he's at his home and i'm at my home, without going on live.

Can either of the above cases be done with a backup?

well, you can use something like xbconnect of xlink. They basiacally mimik the system link, across the internet.

In that case can I set up a VPN and make the x-boxes think that they are on the same network, even though they are not on the same router?

Also can I use backup games to do this?

XBconnect has an option for up to 3 xbox(S) ...

what do u mean by vpn?
and where would these xboxes be in relation to one another?
same house? same apartment? same country?

Well you did say that they would work in the same house, so I tried going a step further...

VPN is a Virtual Private Network... I use it at home to log onto my office network, it makes my computer and the server believe that they are on the same network, so I can access my files.

Also can any of the above be done using a backup game???

XbConnect, lets you play your back-ups. You can have multiple xboxs online at the sametime also.

OK Last question...

I was looking on the instructions on xbconnect.com... how do you make your x-box not look for Live before you run the xbconnect program on your computer?

just get to a certain screen
if needbe

You don't click on live to play on xbconncet, ... you click on the network play I think, I don't remember the exact name. Thats how you can play halo online
