WRT54G/GS: How to run kaiEngine on Alchemy/Satori

Posted: Wed Jan 05, 2005 11:51 pm

Ok i have it all hooked up and the files are up and it connected but still when i go into halo 2 itself once selecting a game no game shows up in my system link games.... i have a 2.2 and i set it right to the vlan0 so now im scratching my head once again....

Scratch this....ok. I can do everything up to loading the script. I log into putty with my wrt54g 2.2 IP adress 192.168.X.X. Then i put my "root" and password. I type in wget http://192.168.1.100:80/kaid.conf -O /tmp/kaid.conf
and it says "wget: unable to connect to remote host (192.168.1.100) : No route to host

Ive followed the directions and changed the ip in the wget thing to match my computer and the port after to show what aybss said and thats all i get. i also tried the port number that shows up when u double click the server button in the taskbar :9999 can anyone help me out?

i have successfully installed kaid in openWRT

very simple.

No need to wget on everyboot ! nice !

ipkg install http://www.zbit.pt/kai/kaid_7.0.0.3_mipsel.ipk

modify the mac adress with xbox mac in /etc/kaid.conf

(howto get xbox mac adress
ping (ip adress of xbox)
arp -a (show mac adress of xbox ip)
)

cd /etc/init.d/
touch S90kaid
chmod 755 S90kaid

edit and put in S90kaid (with editor like vi) :

Code:

#!/bin/sh
kaid -c /etc/kaid.conf -d

thats's all

Odd, I can add the MAC of my PC to do testing and I see no looping.

Not that I am saying I understand all of this. But I wanted to see if I could see what was available without going into the XBox. Also, to check if my script was actually working.

BTW: Passwords. Since the UI has a place for the password both in the PC and in XBMC is it really necessary to put a password in the kaid.conf?

I ask this since it would be nice to put kaid and kaid.conf in the webspace that my provider gives me. I have tested this and it works.

Does putting my MACs numbers there make me vulnerable to something?

Puting mac adress doesn't make you vulnerable.

You must put your xbox mac adress to test if that works.

No need to put password and id in kaid.conf just une XBMC.

Sorry for my bad english i am french.

bye

I have to laugh every time someone apologizes for their non-native english because it is always 100 times better than my ability with their language.

Also, many people that are non-native english speakers do better than many of the US kids I see posting in many forums. Lived for a few years in Europe.

Thanks for the answer. For testing most of us have webspace with our net provider. I would suggest that as the primary place to put our Kaid and Kaid.conf as long as no one sees a security issue.

I did that for testing. It worked great so I may just leave it that way.

I do not understand how you used the ipk package. I downloaded it but am uncertain what I am supposed to do with it. An upload of some kind but where and how?

BTW I am running Sveasoftware in a WRT54GS.

Cheers,
Skuba

Hi,
Everything looks like I am working properly. But in XBMC, I get "The service is not connected......" Each attempt to log on to Kai from the XBMC ends in failure.

I ran Kai from the PC and it runs ok so it is not a name/pw problem.

To my untrained eye it looks like it logged into the engine.

Any help would be appreciated.

Let's not open that can of worms again... (but yes it is!). Team Xlink seems to agree since they offer it for download here http://www.teamxlink.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=6853.

the kaid.conf isn't correct or kaid version is too old.

This won't work with the Sveasoft Talisman firmware, will it?

Edit: Well I just tried it. I'm pretty sure it's running because I can connect to it using PC UI only interface and use the router to run the engine. I also see all the chat messages and ping requests from kai on the ssh window. I haven't tested it yet because nobody is playing any games I have at the time.

One thing is for sure. This won't brick a router running Talisman, and seems to be working. I'll update this when I get a chance to test it. Thanks, nice guide.

Update: Yep it works. I'm not sure if it's fully working with PSP. But I just did it with XBMC kai UI and it connected to the Engine successfully and I was able to browse through the rooms, so I'm pretty sure this means the engine will work on the Talisman firmware. Now to try and get my friend with a PSP all set up so I can try playing my PSP with him on Kai. Again, thanks for the guide. Very informative.

has anyone successfully gotten this working over wds? My setup is

Modem --- Alchemy1 <<WDS>> Alchemy2 --- Xbox

I have kaid running on Alchemy2 and it is listening for traffic, however I'm not sure what to listen on (br0, wds0.2, eth1, vlan, wlan) Is there anybody who has a similar setup and has this working?
