[OLD] Router Bridging - Cain & Abel v4 + Zone Alarm Pro ::.

[l Krafty l]

Bridging With A Router
Using Cain & Abel v4.1 & Zone Alarm Pro
Tutorial written by Krafty

What programs do I need to get started?
1.Cain & Abel v4.1(Download)
Note: Cain & Abel is detected as a virus on most anti-virus firewall programs(Including Zone Alarm). It is not (I repeat), IT IS NOT A VIRUS AND WILL DO NO HARM TO YOUR COMPUTER. Use common sense, I wouldn't waste my time writing a whole tutorial if I had you download something that really would damage your system. So dont panic, have your firewall trust Cain or this wont work.

2.Any Zone Alarm Product (This tutorial Uses Zone Alarm Pro)
Zone Alarm (Premium Only)
What hardware do I need to router bridge?
You will need a modem, a regular switch router(2 Ports at the least), A Windows Computer to run the software, 3 Ethernet cords (regular cords), and your PC must have at least 1 ethernet port, and an Xbox/Xbox 360

Now how do I set up my bridge?
This goes as followed:
Modem ----(ethernet cable to)---- Router
Using 2 ports of from your router,
1st port ----(ethernet cable to)---- ethernet port of your PC
2nd port ----(ethernet cable to)----- ethernet port of your Xbox/360

Power on your Xbox/360 and sign in.

So, what do I do about the person I want to bridge?
He needs to have made the party & has to be party leader

Here we go:

Step 1:
Open Cain & Abel


Step 2:
On the tabs, select the "Sniffer" tab


Step 3:
First, lets configure your ethernet port on your PC with Cain to make sure this works, on the menu, select "Configure"


Step 4:
Now a window should pop up like this


Step 5:
If you see more than one adapter, to make sure which one is the ethernet port, scroll over to the end of the adapter details column


Step 6:
Now that you know which ones which, scroll back and select your ethernet port of your PC, and then click "Apply"


Step 7:
After clicking "Apply", press "OK" and the window should disappear


Step 8:
Now that thats done, make sure you are on the same window. There are two tabs, make sure the upper tab is on "Sniffer" and the bottom one is on "Host."

Once you have that, click the "Sniffer" button


Step 9:
Once that is selected, look for the Blue "+" Sign, click that


Step 10:
Once you have selected that, another window should pop up


It should look just like that without having to change anything. If it doesn't, make sure you change it so its identical to the image above. Do not worry about the number in the box, they wont matter for now.

Step 11:
Now, Press "OK" and it should scan, the scan should not take long


Step 12:
Now, You may see more than 2 IP's, but only look at your Routers & Xboxs' IP, those are teh only two you will need to know

Next, on the bottom tabs, click the "APR" tab


Step 13:
Now your main window should look like this


Step 14:
Now, we're you see 2 horizontal columns, click the upper column


Step 15:
Now, teh blue "+" should show up again where you clicked it last time, press it again


Step 16:
A new window should appear now


Step 17:
Now, You need to pay close attention to these next steps

First, you may see 1 or 2 IP's. First, select the IP OF YOUR ROUTER on the LEFT side of the columns


Step 18:
Now, on the RIGHT SIDE, select the IP OF YOUR XBOX/360


Step 19:
Now when your done, press "OK"


Step 20:
Now you should see it in the upper column of your APR window.

For the final step, press the APR button, which is the Radioactive icon on the icon bar.

Remember, on this part, make sure the person you are bridging has made the party and is party leader.


Step 21:
Now that you have started the poisoning (aka "Bridging"), you should start to see the IP's


As you see above, there are 4 IP's
Two of them are Bungies (65.59.234.161 & 65.59.234.162)
The party leader is the top one with the most flowing packets
And the other person is the random IP on the bottom

Now, over to Zone Alarm Pro

Step 1:
Open Zone Alarm. On the blue menu to the left, select "Firewall"


Keep your Internet & Trusted zone on "Medium" of "Off" to make sure nothing happens while doing this

Step 2:
Click the "Zones" Tab


Step 3:
Now your window should like this


One thing you might notice, if this is your first time using Zone Alarm, you might see a loopback adapter, Right-Click it and remove it

Step 4:
Now, if your network is on "Trusted", right-click it and change it to "Internet"


Step 5:
Now its time to add Bungies IP (65.59.234.161)
Towards the bottom, there are four buttons, click "Add"


Step 6:
When you press it, a small pop-up window should appear, select "IP Address..."


Step 7:
Now a small window should appear


Make sure its on "Trusted"

Step 8:
In the "IP Address" part, input Bungies first (65.59.234.161)


Note: If you see "65.59.234.162" in Cain, input that also, if you dont see it, dont worry about it. I would only input this whenever it shows up, but you at least have to have 65.59.234.161 (This will be the only one you really need)

Step 9:
Now, ask your friend for his IP, or look it up on Cain, places where he can check:
WhatIsMyIP.com
IP Chicken - What is my IP? Find Your IP Address!

Once you get it, input his just like you did with Bungies

(Sarcastic comment not made by me)

Step 10:
Now press "OK", and your window should look similar to this


Step 11:
Now that your done with that, down where the four buttons are, click "Apply"


Step 12:
Now, click the "Main" tab to switch back to the firewall tabs


Step 13:
Now, what you do it your leave your Trusted Zone Tab on "Med" or "OFF", and move the Internet Zone tab to "High"

Now, ask your friend if you can hear him, if he can, then you have successfully bridged him host.

Thats all.
Tips & FAQ's:

The part where the IP's show up in Cain are getting pretty full, how do I remove them?

Go down to that section, right click on any IP, and select "Remove All", basically it will refresh the window if its still poisioning.


I tried poisioning my connections and I've been getting only "Half-Routing," how do I make it Full rout?

Chances are, the Bungie IP just shifted. Its ok, it does that sometimes. Simply, go to your APR window(the picture above), click on the IP thats in the UPPER column, right click it and select "Remove All":

Now, go to the bottom, and select the "Host" tab. Right click on any of the IP's, and select "Remove All":


Now, go back to the beginning of the tutorial and repeat the steps.

What happens if I add my own IP?
Nothing....

What if I cant hear anyone but my friend in the game?
Mostly has to do with your connection. Its nothing too big, just after the game starts turn your firewall down to Med. or Low. Make sure you turn it back up when you start a new game.

Hope this was of help,

I have the updated version of Cain and it keeps crashing.

It always crashes when I'm receiving host, when I'm giving host, it works fine.
It runs normal, but if someone is forcing me host, it crashes during the middle of a game.

When it happens, I have to restart my Xbox, any suggestions?
