[billybob007]

I have ben trying to system link my 2 jtag 360 locally and they will not talk to each other. Can anyone help me? I can hook up my stock 360 and 1 of the jtag and play system link local and accross kai. However when I try 2 jtag i can not get them to play together. I have the ping patch on both and the same tu. When i start a game on 1 the other one can se it but when i try to join it will not let me. Has anyone else had this problem and can give me a solution? Thanks if you can.

do the mac addresses of the two consoles match? because they shouldnt.

long shot.

Both consoles need to have the same game with the same updates for systemlink. I once had the same problem. One console had recived an update from live few days back and the other did not. So i had to connect the other system to live also to get the update.
Try other games.

LOL stop shareing the same SMC_Config.bin.

Help: there is a option in the advance network called alter mac address, just put a diffrent value that the other xbox but make it the same lenth as every other mac address.

hmm with same mac address i assume you built the two JTAGS using the same config blocks am i right?

not 100% sure but i think you can grab your NAND off the xbox with flash360 and edit the config blocks through 360flashtool, which may allow you to change mac address

or you could build a freeboot image using another donor nand?

THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!! This has drove me nuts for the past 3 weeks but I do not like to ask for help. I finally had enough and asked and you fixed my problem in a mater of hours.  THANK YOU.  Anyone else having this problem just change the mac address under network advanced settings and it will work. Xlink here we come.
