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
"The next evolution of XBC is due out very soon. neXBC (next evolution XBC) will change the way you play system link games. You will no longer need to join rooms, or even be at your PC to play. neXBC is designed to let you play the games you want, with the people you want, for as long as you want without having to touch your PC. Fire up neXBC, set your game type filters, and relax in your recliner for a evening of non stop gaming.
Currently we are internal testing and tweaking our filters. Keeping our fingers crossed, we hope to have it in the hands of our Pro users by the weekend. Stay tuned! "
