xbox system link over internet?

[rchadd]

i'm not interested in playing against strangers over internet.dont want to use xbox live.

is it possible for me to play xbox games against my mate over the internet as an extended system link type setup?

assume system link game requires all xbox machines to be on the same lan. we both have broadband. couldn't we network though our pcs and make it act as routers to do this?

suppose this is similar to what xbconnect?

i believe there is a seperate link cable for that (not much support for this as many ppl dont have this setup)

if you go online, you make a private room and invite him in...

ah xbconnect has private rooms - get it now

sounds like perfect solution

only thing...no support for burnout3 or toca2

also not many fighting game supported (DOA etc).

whats performance like using xbconnect is there much lag. i assume there is direct net connection between clients running xbconnect. no need to route throught their server?

from website sounds good
