Re: HALO 2 at Omni Hotel
OK here the info you need to connect the Omni network.
The most difficult part is to get the Xbox audio and video into the TV. The A/V in channel is 36. This works for the back A/V RCA IN port not the front one (there is no channel for the front one to the best of my knowledge). Some TVs will not get channel 36 (it is deleted), so the only solution I can think of is an RFU adapter (coaxial cable, old skool like NES) for you Xbox (I brought one and we used it). The RFU adapter needs to plug directly into the TV, not the black Web TV converter box (says "Not to be removed"). Simply unscrew the small piece of coaxial cable that plugs the Web TV box into the TV. Sometimes there is a plastic guard over the screw connector. All I can say about this is: it is possible to unscrew it without harming the plastic guard. Make sure you return the TV to normal hookups after you are done with the room.
All you need to do for system link play, plug the Xbox into the Ethernet port and set all IP and DNS settings to Automatic. DHCP will assign it an IP that will be good enough for system link play (you don't need to give it a computer's IP after you go through Internet registration on that computer). Do not try the plug the Xbox into a Router and then plug the router into the Ethernet port in order to share the port with a computer (you can still use wireless on the computer). I don't know how the Omni handles these Rouge DHCP Clients, but my school network shuts the port down.
It is not possible to connect to Xbox Live. The Omni routers are old and incomparable with Xbox packets. Don't bother trying!
My team has 3 Xboxs and 3 copies of Halo 2. We played some games tonight. We would love for other teams to join in. Talk to me (usually in Pits, will have "The Lucas" written on the back of my shirt) or Erik Enslen (probably scouting in the stands) and we can exchange hotel phone numbers so we can set up a game. I will try to talk to those of you who already posted on this thread. See you all in a couple hours! The Pits look Beautiful!
