dsl router help ?

[Tonyd0821]

ok, got a router, was able to get rid of the sbc yahoo "helper" which freed up a shitload of resources..

anyways I got my ps2 hooked up to the router as well.

the computer runs fine connected to the internet, but now the ps2 wont connect to the internet so I can play socom 2...


any ideas on how to fix it? i tried to mess with the ps2 network adaptor settings, but there was nothing I could find to set......

it obtains an ip adress automatically and all that.....

did you try to reset your modem after you plugged the ps2 into the router?

everytime I put something onto my router I reset my modem. (cable)

yup reset it.....

still wont connect...

wondering if the ps2 ethernet is compatible with a router....

or do I need to configure port # 2 (port the ps2 is connected to)
on the router to work with the playstation?

what E said.

you need to reconfigure the PS2

you're router is proably set with an IP of 192.168.1.1

so set the PS2 up with a static IP address of 192.168.1.5
and you also want to open the port forward range 0-65535
for the IP address that the PS2 is using.

if you go dynamic , auto get IP addy, then you could still end up not being able to play games or have some strange problems.

what router did you buy I can probably talk you thru the menu's
if I know what one it is. hell you couldn't enable remote management and I could configure it for you.

ok im back ... took a little longer than planned (had to drop a deuce)

get to the screen where you can choose to "create/edit network configuration"
- chose delete setting
- pick your memory card


now setting it back up
- add setting
- pick memory card
- "SCE/Ethernet (network adaptor)
- ID and Password "not Required"
- set the IP "auto"
- set the DNS "auto"
- name "setting 1" (doesnt really matter what its called)
- press "X" button to save
- "OK"
- "test connection? "YES"
- "X" button

test should be successful
then your all set
