| XBConnect is NOT like Xbox LIVE! XBConnect Plays over what it expects to
be a System Link connection. Or basically a 10/100Mbps Ethernet connection
Both ways. Now how fast is your DSL/Cable Connection? Something like
1.5 to maybe 4.0 Mbps Download and 128 to 386kps Upload speed! Even if you
have a T1 connection, it's only 1.5Mbps both ways. This is why your having
the problems your having. Depending on how fast your connection is, you
can only connect to a couple people depending on the game. Games played
over LIVE are different. When games on connected to the LIVE network, they
know what types of speed your Limited to on a DSL and Cable Connection and
LIVE running Games are setup to work over this limited connection speed.
Just having a Fast Ping rate doesn't cut it.
Even if the Game is a LIVE capable game, and your using a System Link
connection. It's 2 different Network setups programmed into the game.
Playing the games on LIVE is a far better experiance.
