[Solved]PC restarts along with xbox ?

Posted: Mon Jul 25, 2005 3:59 pm

I have a curious problem, xlink works just fine, but Ive noticed when xlink is connected if I shut down my xbox, the pc restarts.. what can I do to stop it from doing this?

Im using a DSL connection in windows XP and a board based network card.

2 things .. load the kai config and select your network card instead of autodetect .. are u using a network bridge ?

Yes I already did that, Hmm.. Im not sure If Im using a network bridge, my xbox is connected to an onboard lan card that came with the motherboard So I dont know.

how is your modem hooked up ? another network card ? if so u can check for a bridge under network properties by right clicking on the connection .. hmm usually the bridge causes kai to crash right away tho .. do u have any antivirus software running ?

Hmm.. no , the Modem is connected via USB so Im not using a bridge.

I think theres a misunderstanding though. Xlink works fine I can connect to the pc and play, however when I finish playing (or I want to swap the disc) If I shut down the xbox the PC restarts.

no misunderstanding , i know what your saying .. in the kai config are you sure u have the onboard network card selected ? .. try and find out as well if their are new drivers for your network card ..

so your saying u checked for a bridge or your assuming it doesn't have one ?

I was Assuming I didnt had one, but it turns out I DO. But when I try to remove it, Im unable to connect to the xbox again. I have a MAC bridge under windows xp.

So how can I connect to without the bridge?

try putting on Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) instead ..

Ok. PROBLEM SOLVED. Thank you so much!

For those reading: if you are having this problem, themost probable cause is the XP network bridge, you need to set a bridge less internet connection and (in most cases) port forward the xlink port to it.

I found the instructions on how to do it here:
