HELP: Mario Kart Double Dash/LAN/Link Up problem
hi, i bought 2 brand new ntsc mario karts on gc b4 xmas as i wanted to play link up with my teenage bros and kid sister (they all are very good at this game)
i bought 2 broadband adapters, one from usa and one from uk (should work together right?)
and i have a black usa GC and a purple switched jpn GC. (maybe this is a problem?)
i bought a 5meter crossover cat5e cable from a name brand (belkin) just to be on the safe side but i keep getting a msg when linking up on a blue background that there was a failiure in lan link up... read the manual...
i think they do know there is another GC atached as i get a msg with a red background if a disconect the cable on purpous!
i have found a faq on the subject and he just says test every thing, blah blah. but is there anyone hear with GC LAN XP??
thanks in advance
alsohere is what i managed to find on the subject...

Sometimes you will probably do wrong and be wondering WTH did I do wrong?
If it?s instructions on your TV, try to follow them. If not look if you
have
done everything right. I will list the most things that can go wrong for
you
here.
* PAL-users only: Be sure that all systems either have 50 Hz or 60 Hz. You
can
not combine those.
* Watch your cable. It must be an Ethernet cable with an RJ45 connector.
Other
names for it is Category 5 cable, Cat 5 Ethernet cable, Patch cable, A
10 megabit (10Base-T) or 100 megabit (100Base-TX) network cable. It MUST
be
compatible with 10 megabit.
* Watch your cable again. It must be an crossover cable if it?s between two
system without a hub. And it must be an non crossover (with other words,
a
ordinary) cable if it?s in a Hub.
* Watch your cable again. Is it really connected to the Hub or your
Broadband
Adapter?
* Did you Reset or turned one system off and interrutped the data
transmission? Then you need to repeat the start sequence again.
* You should only have Nintendo Gamecube?s in your Hub. Try again with only
your systems in the Hub.
* Is the Hub compatible with 10 megabit (10Base-T)? It must be. And it does
exist 100Base-T Hub?s that are not compatible with 10Base-t (I know it?s
stupid).
* You can not have more than eight systems in the Hub at the same moment. I
guess they don?t know where to find information if you do.
* Something is broken! You need to try each of everything to see what?s
broken and replace it.
