Xlink and linux how to Easy way.

[roundyz]

This tutorial assumes you have a working distro with NET connection, LAN connection and NAT setup.

Step 1: Download kaid, you dont need any gui.
Step 2: Extract it.
Step 3: As root copy kaid to /usr/bin and kaid.conf to /etc/
Step 4: Edit kaid.conf (in /etc/).
Change only these values. leave the rest as-is.
UIBind = :34522
OrbPort = 34525
EngineBind = 0
EnginePAT = 0
SniffDevice = eth1 (replace eth1 with whatever your network card your xbox is on)
Username = roundyz (your kai username - as setup on xlink site)
Password = *******noway (your kai password - as setup on xlink site)
AutoLogin = 1 (to make is easy)

Step 5: Save it and exit. No need to restart.
Step 6: Type (as root) kaid -c /etc/kaid.conf & (thanks to fer on #softmods)
Step 7: Now if you have a firewall then you need to change some port traffic gates (if not goto step 9)
Step 8: Edit your firewall to allow
port 34522 for LAN
port 34545 for ALL LAN AND NET
port 37500 for ALL LAN AND NET
Step 9: Boot media center on your xbox. Edit your kai settings under program settings.
Step 10:Make sure all cables are in etc. And all cards are on and working.
Step 11: If the icon comes up at the bottom of xbmc then you are cooking, you should get a notice of what orbital server you are connected to. Just choose a game that you wish to play and enjoy. Wanna change arena? just reboot media center..

You can leave kai running on a console on your pc..Linux hardly ever crashes and kaid lays dormant after a while..


Anyway, any problems?

Well... it's been several hours now. I can't install my eggdrop, Bitchx, ircii, or kaid on my freebsd box. Im giving up. Gentoo is downloading as we speak. I'll let you guys know how that goes. good bye freebsd. Burn in hell.
