Modded XBOX's Not Allowed on Live
Those of us, um, I mean those of you with modified XBOX's who were looking forward to fragging your friends in Halo 2, Microsoft has finally caught on. Right as Halo 2 launched, Microsoft updated the XBOX Live service to identify users who are trying to connect with a modified XBOX and block them from the service. If you try to connect, it simply won't work - even on boxes that have mod chips that can be switched off. If you go into the network troubleshooter, you will see the error that reads "Your Xbox console cannot communicate with Xbox Live because the software or hardware may have been modified". Damn.

You can use free programs like XBConnect (http://xbconnect.com/) or XLink Kai (http://teamxlink.co.uk/) to play HALO 2 online using the system link feature. Both programs are free. Glad to help!
