As i read all the forums about ban wave, there is allot of theories on the banning.

1. Firmware being detected, doesn't matter which version
2. Powering dvd without it connected to the motherboard being detected. The method used for flashing with a kit or not.
3. Different games that were played that had issue
4. System is collecting data and sending it back M$ when connected to online
5. Modded Hard disk or not original OEM
6. Playing early release date games / bad rips
7. People Wave 3 only and Wave 3,4 & Activate ISO where banned
8. abgx360 error back then
9. Cheats etc


Till now i didn't read if somebody did try to used there key flashed it to another dvd drive and used it only for playing backups offline. When going on XBL swapping there original dvd drive back in the system for online play with original copies only. If this maybe would help to not get banned from XBL, but theory 4 will kill this if it's true.

Now is only a matter to wait and see what really causing console bans.

So what am i doing wrong?

I installed leaf and posted my id on those other boards. Now do I just wait for that guy to add me? and then simple as that I have access to the rest of the community.

Another lil problem I ran into is the "share game server permissions" button is greyed out. Do I still need to set this up, how can I make this a clickable button?

Just an idea but how hard would it be to make a stand alone server similar to the fake servers that people created for WOW. To me it wouldn't be all that different to any other server. It would be all about tricking the xbox into thinking it signs into Live but it actually signs into your pc.

Then use Leaf or whatever program you wanted to take it from there. Does this seem plausible. If you take Cain or any other hacking software to sniff for vitale information maybe we could all come together and create a side server for a fake Live that banned or not you could use safely without having to worry about getting banned. On the server you could still have updates and DLC but they would be free if you chose to put them on your server. Any Ideas or is this not possible?

So does anyone know if the ping limiter is hard coded or is it on each disc. If it is on the disc then it would be just a matter of findind it and changing the value. Anyone have any input on this?

Were these guys close?

I've been trying to set up Leaf for me and 3 of my mates, they live 4miles away.. tops! and the lowest ping we can get is ~90ms. they are in a bit of a rural area i suppose. Their exchange will only give upto about 2mbps connection. Whereas i'm a tad more fortunate and can get up to 6mpbs. I was wondering whether the Leaf networks routing could have an adverse effect on the ping? Would trying Xlink Kai be any different?

i know my internet / bandwidth becomes rather poor at peak times so i guess that would have an adverse effect also;

It all varies on from ISP and software. I posted the leaf option since that worked for me. xlink sucked where leaf worked. There have been reports of the opposite.
