Xbox on the internet!

[Xboxderekman]

Yesterday, I went out and got a switch and some cables.


Now, I have my xbox on the internet, at gamespy arcade!

Yahhhh!:cool:

I can waste on just about anyone! My name is Mad Cat on there. Some one challenge me to a 1vs1.

Will someone move this to the OFF TOPIC LOUNGE!

No offense xboxderekman, but after a long work week I come into the General discussion to catch up on all this new info after E3, and then I find this crap.

Please think before you post.

well....how about we all just calm down a lil huh? if i had gamespy i would look ya up, however i gots no cable yet *sighs*

[Plewis]

ill be getting gamespy in a couple weeks... hopefully I dont have any trouble with cables or anything

[VenoM]

forget gamespy...get xbox connect....... www.xbconnect.com ........ my name is [XBA] Venom and sometimes just Venom :cool:

xboxconnect is not as good as gamespy in my opinion. Gamespy is MUCH easier and user friendly.

Gamespy sucks though because it has some problems with freezing up. I would definetly take Gamespy over xbconnect if I had to choose.

Gamespy: Little Lag, more rooms to choose, User friendly

XBconnect:Quick and easy to get going, deticated to xbox, no advertisments

-thats my opinion

Please refresh my mind, as much as I work in IT, I haven't dealt with networking for a while, which deals with higher level layers in the OSI 7 layer model, a switch or a hub?

If a switch is all I need to get a cable modem to connect to my XBOX, then I'll be there soon. Otherwise, if there are advantages to having a hub, let me know too...

i don't know about anybody else... but Gamespy was nothing but problems for me.... and not to mention lag...

XBConnect is better i think because it is dedicated to the Box and nothing more...

but thats just my opinion :)

Switch: Smarter, doesn't waste bandwidth, reconizes the DSL modem

Hub: A cheap excuse for a switch

BY the way, I am xbox derek man.

Thanks Gaws, should've known that a switch does more work than a hub - now I remember, a Hub broadcasts to all ports on the hub, a switch only shoots it off to the correct port
