Played with a guy in west texas. No lag, just a bit of frame dropping every now and then. I have to say that the Gamespy client app is pretty sweet. The mapping feature and ping charting is really well done.

 

Im gonna go to best buy this weekend and see if i can find me a 30ft cat 5 cable with rj48 connectors to run to the router.

 

funsdead.... I don't know if you have thought about this yet or not.... If you plan on having the Xbox upstairs & your computer downstairs... You are going to be doing alot of running up and downstairs to setup games on gamespy then back upstairs to play...

I have a laptop so it's no big deal... But if you don't have a lap top I guess you could displya the computer screen on your TV and have a wireless keyboard & mouse... just a thought

Hope I didn't burst your bubble

 

LOL...thanks but I had already thought of that. I do have a laptop but no wireless network so it looks like I'll be running back and forth

 

If you've got the ports, might as well get two cables and run them both. Use the 2nd one for the laptop. Or, run one down and get a 2nd hub and 2 short cables from the 2nd hub to the xbox and pc.

 

eh?

haha

only one port on the back of the xbox so i need to run that directly into the router or did you mean use another port (which i do have) and run the cable from the xbox in to the hub and from the hub to the router....using the third cable from the hub to the laptop so I could use the gamespy on the laptop ustairs.??

LOL i think i just confused myself some mo

 

I meant rather than run up and down the stairs, run two cables to where the xbox is and plug your laptop into one of them. Both of those cables go into the router.

 

Guys.....

I bought the 50ft cable over the weekend and I'm on. Halo is cool but the latency sucks arse. I am experiencing so much lag it's ridiculous. Any of you guys wanna get together and try playing????

BTW what should i expect. I have a cable modem which only supports 384k upstream like most all cable modems. DSL only supports 128k upstream right??? anyway I did some reading and found out that 128k is required per person for halo.....does this mean only two of us can play from my xbox console....
