Just to let you know for this past day there has been chaos in the XLink arena over how to get GT4 online working. Thanks to efforts of 3 (acidburn1942, PoolShark, 2fast2furious) people they have finally discovered how to connect and actually play. For best performance pings <50 are recommended (So look for poeple in close areas) and 2 player is the best of all cause it produces the least lag, 3 player is doable but laggy beyond belife. So that being said have fun. Here are the proper set ups. This is according to my setup for which i have been playing with a few buddies for the past 3 hours.
FIRST:
Make sure that your XLink setup is correct and that you are reachable and all the ports and configs are correct im not going to explain how to do this read the faqs on the web page they tell you the details.
SECOND:
Setup your Lan settings accordingly. Click Host and select yes. Then choose Player #'s choose 1 then choose Monitor # and Select 1 then Change Network traffic to Light. Now if you are gonna host then leave it just like that if your going to join then select host and change to no. (The changes you made will stay but will be gray)
THIRD:
Go to course registration and select all of them (they'll be orange once selected)
FOURTH:
Save the settings in your PS2 and reset both your ps2 and your xlink.
FIFTH:
Once both are booted up DO NOT i repeat DO NOT go into the lan screen yet.
First if you are hosting go to the GT4 arena create a private arena with a pw or not whatever and wait for someont to join the arena.
Once both of you are there (assumeing you created the arena so your gonna be hosting) and are correctly setup, the Joinee should proceed to the lan screen and connect, wait till the waiting for connection screen shows up. (Both of you should have the same config in the lan options except one will have host yes and one will have host no.)
Once the Joinee sees the screen he should notify the host. which then the host will Connect (THIS HAS TO BE DONE IN THIS ORDER, and make sure your lan settings are set to host) once the HOST is in the waiting for connection screen it should take less than a minute for them to esablish a connection if its longer than a minute somone messed up and you have to restart the ps2's and xlink and start the process all over (the connection process not the settings) It has to be in that order it won't work otherwise.
If all goes well you should see a wonderfull course select screen so enjoy the ring

P.S. Sorry if grammer is wrong but i just spent the past hour racing on the Ring it's amazing how 6 laps can wear you out even if it's a game.
If you have any questions drop me a pm or stop in the Arena.
Thanks for the notice fixed that.
