The Old XBOX Megathread

[oldskool]

I love TF2, it's my favorite shooter by far. I stopped playing it because of the horrible lag and constant disconnections. This was before the patch though.

Hey whoa, it's patched? I was unaware of this.

[Zaz]

Who gave me free Live Gold?

And how long does it last for?

[King Ellis]

You get a free month for signing up. Which you have timed fucking horribly

[Zaz]

Nah, had this account since December-ish. Although I didn't get any free Live with it because I made it online for some reason, rather than through the XBox.

I'm guessing Dawson as he added me as a friend yesterday, so he might've had a free week with him and decided to give it to me. Which he timed horribly cos I'm capped at the moment >_>

Or Kaney.

I might be wrong but I don't think thats how it works, Zaz >_>

Does anyone know if the wireless adaptor can work with a network that is password protected? Like my uni network requires a username and password to sign on.

[Cactus Drags]

Good luck getting on with a Uni network, a lot of places deliberately throttle the ports most commonly used for gaming (along with p2p, bitTorrent etc.)

EDIT: I was thinking UK Unis, so your situation might be different. Up until recently my Xbox connected through a wireless network, protected via WEP key. I presume WPA-protected networks can still work though. Usernames and passwords I'm not sure on.

Nah I didn't give you a free week Zaz, I wouldn't even if I could, I'd use it myself >_>

Has anyone played the UEFA Euro 2008 demo yet? Me and Dragsy played it earlier. You can only be France or Germany but first impressions are very good. They seem to have improved the flow of the gameplay since FIFA 08 and it just plays really well.

[apsham]

I was told to try a wired connection to a switch or a hub, signing in through a computer.

What?

[Cactus Drags]

I figure that means hooking your 360 up to your laptop via ethernet cable, then logging onto your University connection through the laptop. That may well work, but you're likely to suffer a lot of lag issues.

[King Ellis]

I do mine that way and whilst I can't comment on how his Uni net might affect his expierences, mine runs fine. Except the NAT that is.

[apsham]

So just as simple as that? Eh, I'll see what happens.. hopefully I'll be good.

[King Ellis]

Well, not exactly simple. There's some editing to be done with IP adresses and stuff but it's doable.

[Dan]

If you're on vista, just bridge the connections & set the xbox360 network stuff to automatic and it should work fine.

[Zaz]

I might be wrong but I don't think thats how it works, Zaz >_>

Which part?

Also, still no idea how I ended up with the free Live =/

[Ruki]

I want free live so I can run someone over in GTA...

[King Ellis]

I want free live so I can run someone over in GTA...

Shut up Kou Jr and accept my friend request.

[Ruki]

I'll accept it when I get online next......I haven't been on Live since last summer....

...I should get on just to accept friend requests.

[King Ellis]

Or use Xbox.com

[Ruki]

...or that.

Accetped.
