Problem description? If I do not port forward everything looks fine until I get into a game. 10 min. in and I lose my orbital link. If I close my UI and open it immediatly, it reconnects without a problem. I thought iI was a classic port forward victim, but when I DO port forward I get an "establishing" ping and "not yet. the game is Steel Battalion - Line of Contact. I don't remember having this problem with Halo 2, but I haven't played that for years on Kai...

after you port forward try having the people you are playing with to restart Xlink a couple times. It usually fixes the pings. If this does not work leave another post.

Maybe I confused you.

it is when I port forward that I get the "not yet" and cannot see my ping...

DANG IT! Also, I'm using ver. 7.4.19 of Kai...

I understood your problem on the first post. Try having the people you are playing with restart kai a few times and it should fix the "establishing" issue. After you have done this leave another post please.
