Zune Multiplayer Stuff

[amoo3]

Hang on a second, the code you used is
LocalNetworkGamer gamer in networkSession.LocalGamers
Didn't it say somewhere that Zune is SystemLink which is NetworkGamer, not LocalNetworkGamer?

Man, I spent like 3 hours trying to get this to work with NetworkGamer because I thought that <_<

Yeah...I thought that was a little strange too. That is how the P2P tank example did it, and it does in fact work, so i don't know.

[amoo3]

Yeah, I saw the example but it said it was about local gamers sending their data (or receiving) to everyone else. Whatever, thanks man. Big help.

You should clean your code a little ionman :P
I specially like this part or 99% useless code :

 Color background = Color.Gray;

            switch (this.multiplayerRole)
            {
                case MultiplayerRole.None:
                    background = Color.Black;
                    break;
                case MultiplayerRole.Server:
                    background = Color.Black ;
                    break;
                case MultiplayerRole.Client:
                    background = Color.Black;
                    break;
            }

            graphics.GraphicsDevice.Clear(background);

Could be only graphics.GraphicsDevice.Clear(Color.Black);
update :
VERY IMPORTANT FIND!:
When the wireless is turned off in the zune parameters, a NetworkException is created on this code :

AvailableNetworkSessionCollection availableSessions = NetworkSession.EndFind(result);
(line 173)

You need to add a try{} catch{} in case the wireless is turned off on the Zune!
I though it would turn on the wireless in case a game requests a network connection but it doesn't seem like it, also I believe you cannot turn it on with the XNA framework!
