xbox360 system link

So we have 2 360's hooked up together through a router. They both recognize they are connected, but when one of us makes a game on gears of war LAN the other game can't see it. What are we doing wrong? We tried directly connecting them both together aswell.

hmmm.... Are your cables in good shape? I don't think I have ever had any problems with mine...

We used 2 different cables and it wouldn't work. The xbox knows it's connected because when we unplug or turn one off it says it.
