3.Configure XLink Kai
*XLink Kai has a built-in DHCP server which is used to assign an IP to your PS3 (and other gaming systems) based upon the MAC addresses found in the network cards of your PS3. It also uses a technique called Tunneling to relay data from your PS3 to other PS3s without them having to know that there is an extra set of PCs sitting between them. To do these things XLink Kai needs to be run with elevated privileges on your PC and you must use an administrator account to run XLink Kai. To configure XLink Kai to run with elevated privileges follow these steps:

Click Start > All Programs > XLink Kai, right click Start Kai > choose Properties.

Click the Compatibility tab

Under Compatibility mode, check Run this program in compatibility mode for, then select Windows XP (Service Pack 2)

Under Privilege Level, check Run this program as an administrator. This option may be grayed if you have User Account Control disabled. This is fine.

Click OK
Configure the network card of your PC that XLink Kai will assign IP addresses through.

Click Start > All Programs > XLink Kai > Configure Kai

• Enter your XLink Kai username (XTag) into the Default XTag field. You may also enter your password and select Auto Login so that XLink Kai signs you in automatically when you run it. I do not recommend this as XLink Kai currently stores your username and password in plain text in its configuration file.
  
  
• Check Auto Open Chat if it is not checked already.
  
  
• For Network Adapter, select the network adapter that matches the wired network port of your PC that your PS3 will be connected to. The adapter name will vary based upon the hardware in your PC so I cannot tell you exactly what to select. Look for things like “10/100”, “10/100/1000”, “gigabit”, “Ethernet”, or “LAN”. Do not choose an adapter with “wireless”, “WLAN”, “802.11”, “WIFI” or any other keywords hinting toward a wireless connection. I’ve had success with the Autodetect options but I prefer to explicitly set my configuration to reduce unexpected issues. If you choose the wrong one, you can always come back and try a different one.

4. RunXLink Kai

• Click Start > All Programs > XLink Kai > Start Kai.
  If you have a software firewall installed on your PC you may receive a notice that XLink Kai is attempting to communicate with the internet. Configure your software firewall to allow XLink Kai to do so.

• Enter your username and password, then press enter or click the green arrow. XLink Kai will sign in and connect to a somewhat local Orbital server. I’m over 1000 miles away from Arizona but I guess that’s the closest server to me or has the least latency (assume this is based upon ping or route tracing). Every now and then I’ve been connected to a server in Canada for some reason.

• Click the magnifying glass icon; this places XLink Kai in Diagnostics Mode. Here you will see the port that XLink Kai is communicating on (Public Port; usually 30000) and whether or not your PS3 (or other gaming consoles) are reachable by other players (Network Reachable).
  You must login or register to view this content.
  
  
• If Network Reachable still says No after about 2-3 minutes, you may need to configure your router to forward traffic on that port to your PC. (See BOTTOM OF THIS THREAD FOR INFO ON HOW TO PORT FORWARD NECESSARY PORTS FOR Xlink Kai and PS3.
  OR go to this link and select your router from the list then follow the instructions given!
