GT4 playable online via Xlink!

I thought people were sayin that the NA release got garage cars in LAN and 2 player mode?

Someone please tell me good news on this, and if you can, do they have all the bought mods, unlike gt3 ???

Thanks

it does NOT work. I think xlink Kai needs to be tweaked or something for US play. there are about 70-100 people all butting heads and a handful of people laughing pretending they are getting the game to work. The 2 main grief players are 2fast2furious and poolshark. Trying to trick us into thinking it works.

its a 50/50 chance of it working i got it to work a few times and right now i cant get it to work again ... =(
 
Sven,

no it doesnt work :(. it interfaceslets you select car and track then at the start the other opponents seem to go hay wire and into the gravel in turn one in fuji.
Whil i pass them and they seem to stay stuck, but on there end they are racing against each other and im the one in the gravel.
basically it loses the sync right at start.
 
cool nickname suomy... (I like the Gobert replica the best)

One question for all you people in the know... I have the router, etc. but no PS2 Network Adapter. I have played online using a USB Notebook adapter hooked to my router. Is GT4 able to find/navigate this device? 💡

May not be clear.

USB Notebook adapter plugged into front of PS2, then Cat-5 to router. Has worked in the past... anyone know if this will work?

Ya, I fell in luv with all their helmets I have Bostrom(Old model), and GF has Biaggi.

They are so light and comfortable.
;)


dell_75: no jpn and US version dont sync correctly at start of race.
I did notice that some Jpn players were wanting to race the fastest north american folks yesrerday on Kai ;)
so they either have to get a US version or maybe like me have both :)

xgarage: there is a OSX version of Kai but its currently Alpha stage.

ok i think i've solved a common problem.

of all the people who are having problems. How many have verizon or bell south dsl? i just realized the modem "westell 2200" is a modem and router in one. i had the modem hooked up then a netgear router installed. on the netgear router i had the ports forwarded but didn't realize the westell is a router too. it is blocking the ports b4 they reach the netgear router. i stumbled across the solution when i was trying to double check my netgear router settings and typed 192.168.1.1 instead of 192.168.0.1

the westell router page came up and that's when i realized it was a router not just a modem.

This could be the problem for people on verizon's service. They would have to forward the ports on BOTH the westell modem/router and their other router.

Hope this helps. I apologize to those who i said were scamming us saying it could work. but it was when i was so angry that i mistyped the ip addy of my router and discovered this.
 
I can't setup XLink on my PC... But I've got the router, modem and PS2 net adaptor. And my question is... Can I play online without XLink? :\
 
in one word, no. but i believe if you download kaidstation and you have the correct router you can install kai directly to your router or something. not sure on that... why can't u setup kai on your computer ?? maybe we can help. later-

I've already installed KaiStation, but, when I start the program, and starts to download some files, it gives me an error... It says that Kai has failed to download one or more components... :guilty:

I have made a first test with Pricer.
The Kai connection seems to be ok, but GT4 stay in a "Waiting For Connection" state.

The details of the test :

- both use a local network with a DHCP server
- the two PCs have an automatic network configuration (automatic IP and automatic DNS)
- the two PS2s have an automatic network configuration (automatic IP and automatic DNS)

- GT4 Lan Connect Settings (for me) :
> Unit Name : VV
> Host : Yes
> Style : Play (default)
> No of join people : 2
> Live target : Player1 (default)
> Sub monitor : 0 (default)
> Monitor Position : Central (default)
> Monitor Type : Normal (default)
> NetWork Loading : Large (default)
Pricer has the same settings, except for Unit Name : Pricer and for Host : No

- GT4 Network Settings (for me) :
> Autoconnect : OFF (default)
> Connect Number : 1 (default)
Pricer has the same settings.

Launch GT4 Lan :
- go to Arcade Mode / Multi Lan Race
- select the MC slot
- select the MC file for the network configuration
- press "Ok" (the left button)
> the screen "Waiting For Connection" appears

Launch Kai :
- start Kai on the PC
- switch to dignostics mode
- the network informations appears :
> Public IP : xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
> Public Port : xxxx
> Network reachable : Yes
- switch to dignostics view
- the PS2 informations appears :
> PS2 : Network configured successfully
- switch arena mode
- enter in the PS2 Arena
- enter in the GT4 Arena
- create a private Arena
- Pricer enter in this Arena
> I see Pricer and he see me
> the connection is established
> the ping values are displayed

But GT4 stay in the "Waiting For Connection" state. :(
Any idea ? Any suggestion ? Hajaz ?

I have the same question ...

Next test : meet Pricer and made a real LAN test with two chipped PAL PS2 ...


Did you not read what i said in my post or what? Or did i not stress it enough that THERES A SPECIFIC ORDER THINGS NEED TO GET DONE.

To fix your issue don't ****ing start the lan game untill your in a private arena with the other person. Once your in the same arena as i have stated a million times before the Player that is not hosting starts the lan and waits for the WFC screen once he is at that screen he should immediatly notify the HOST that he is there at which point the HOST joins the game and there you go you should be set. YOU SHOULD NEVER EVER NEVER EVER NEVER EVER NEVER EVER NEVER be at the WFC before you both are ready to start the process. READ MY POST CAREFULLY ONE STEP AT A TIME MAKE SURE YOU UNDERSTAND IT THEN PROCEED TO GO ONE SET AT A TIME. Will save you time and pain from trying to figure it out and you won't have to post that question.

Yo man, who stuck a cactus up ur a$$???

that post you replied to was from January the 1st.

VV was one of the first members in GTplanet forums to test out GT4 on xlink.

So dont go acting like you know everything. Show a little respect to other people, it doesnt hurt you know.
 
So do i need to have both my computer and my PS2 connected at the same time? Because I have to diconnect my computer from the net to play PS2 online usually.
