Hey guys, I was able to successfully get my xbox 360 to play halo 2 online with Xlink kai on both Windows 10 and also Windows 7.

I'd thought I'd share something that might help me figure out what is going on.

If I connect my laptop to the router with ethernet, and the xbox 360 to the router with ethernet, I can only see one or two halo 2 games in the list total.

If I connect the xbox 360 to my laptop directly, and then use my built in wifi to connect to the router, I see no games period.

If I disable my internal laptop wifi (xbox 360 direct connect to laptop), and use a Dlink wireless N dongle, I see one or two games most.

If I swap out my Dlink wireless N dongle for my other wireless usb N dongle from LevelOne, I see a lot of games! (10+ in the system link list)

I wonder why that is? I thought having everything wired to the router would show me the most games...but it didn't.

Of course, I made sure my port forwarding was correct in each case.
