Offline System Link Problems With Gears Of War 2 And 3

I am posting every piece of information I have since I haven't seen a single solution to this problem yet. I have one downloaded copy of Gears of War 1 from the Judgment preorder. I have one copy of the Gears of War Triple Pack, containing one disc copy
of Gears of War 1, and one disc copy of Gears of War 2. I have four disc copies of Gears of War 3, and one disc copy of Gears of War Judgment. I have two Xbox 360 Slims. I have every Gears disc installed on my main console, and I have every single map pack
for every Gears game downloaded onto both Xbox 360 Slims. I have three Xbox LIVE accounts, two of which are only a 1 month membership for now, but I plan on Family Pack blah blah. Being connected to Xbox LIVE, everything works perfectly fine and how it was
meant to operate on every Gears game, including Gears of War 1, Gears of War 2 and Gears of War 3. I can't say it works on Judgment, because I only have one copy. Overall, there is no problem there. The problem I, along with MANY other Gears gamers on this
VERY FORUM, is that my offline Gears System Links are a fail. I can load the downloaded version of Gears of War 1 on my main console, I can insert my disc copy of Gears of War 1 in my secondary console, I can System Link both consoles together for any game
type, and I can maintain that connection for as long as I want. I tried to do the same with both disc copies of Gears of War 2. The secondary console was able to connect to my main console and join my game, even long enough for the match to load up and for
me to switch to my Gnasher. Within seconds, "the connection to the host has been lost," and Teklom and REGIPONY left the game. I've tried switching hosts, signing in as Teklom on my main console. The problem persists. I signed out of Teklom and signed into
REGIPONY, and hosted the match. We were able to get into the game, but within seconds, "the connection to the host has been lost." I signed back into , and let Teklom and REGIPONY both individually host the match, where the same problem arose. Gears
of War 3 suffers from this same exact issue. I have read that many people have switched from Ethernet to CAT5, from Ethernet to CAT6, from Ethernet to Crossover Cable and every combination in between, to which no solution has prevailed. Many people have even
chose to connect their System Link wires through a modem or router, and then into the other console, but this did not solve anything either. I tried deleting and re-downloading all my GamerTags, but it did not work. I've tried deleting all the map packs off
of both consoles, but the problem was still there. I tried re-downloading all my map packs, and this did not work either. I tried deleting the disc copy installations that were on my main console, and it still had no reward. I re-installed all the discs onto
my main console, and I even made space to install the Gears of War 3 disc onto my secondary console, but I still had no solution. I have not changed the MAC address of either Xbox 360 Slims. I have not changed any network settings on either console. They both
connect to my Wireless Router, and they both have an Open NAT type, but listen to this: The Xbox 360 will not remain connected to Xbox LIVE forever. It will one day become obsolete. I hope to one day introduce my future unborn children and my future unborn
children's future unborn children into the Gears Universe. I want them to experience the joys(and sorrows) of playing Gears of War. Having multiple screens and multiple Xbox 360's just makes it even better, especially when there are 10 people who are all well
known and loved by each other all enjoying one game together as if it were the Superbowl Sunday. Please, somebody find a solution to this problem. I will forever be grateful. Thank you for your consideration.

*Update* I've even tried deleting my system cache on both Xbox 360 Slims. This did not work either. Changing the DNS does not work either. The discs are in fairly moderate condition. The game does not freeze. The game does not exit and return to the Xbox
Dashboard. The game does not sign any Gamer Profiles out.

**Update** STILL nothing is working. I've even tried adhoc now. Still no solution? Nobody knows what to say? Why doesn't anybody figure this out? It has been 176 (ONE-HUNDRED SEVENTY-SIX) days since I posted this thread, and it even has 512 (FIVE-HUNDRED
TWELVE) views now!!!

***Update*** I originally posted this thread on the Epic Games Forums. I'm updating and re-posting it here.

****Update**** I am now updating and re-posting this thread on the Xbox Support Forums. I have now tried to System Link a game of Gears of War 2 AND 3 on two completely different consoles other than my own two. The same problem persists. I have tried talking
to Xbox Customer Support before, and I am not the sole person having difficulties with this. Try for yourself, and you will see what I mean. Turn off your router and try starting up a system linked game of Gears of War 2 or 3 for more than 10 minutes, with
no internet around your consoles. I encourage people to tell me their success stories. I've heard multiple times that an update bugged it. I guess it might be a plausible reason, seeing how Epic Games never addressed the issue, and Xbox Customer Support told
me last time I contacted them to bring my issue to Epic Games. Now I will post my issue here, and I will now continue to re-update both threads, the one at "http://forums.gearsofwar.com/showthread.php?1652-Offline-System-Link-Problems", and the one here, once
every month until the Xbox 360 no longer supports Xbox LIVE. My post on the Black Tusk Studios Forums now has 15 (FIFTEEN) views, and 1 (ONE) reply, advising me to post this issue here on the Xbox Support Forums. Once again, I will be monitoring both posts
monthly.
