i've got my ps2 netwrok card plugged in
the cable is a crossover cable that is connected to the network card on my PC
i'm connected to the internet via AOL over a ntl cable modem


can't seem to get the pc to see the ps2

any suggestions ?

you need the bridge your internet connection with your network card and modem n set it to share the connection or summit like that its on my xb live setup I dunno I forgot how to do it now lol look for guides on the net should be some to help you out

Eh?? AOL = dialup services, NTL cable = well, cable..

Bill - ntl prodive the connection - aol are the service provider

if it didn't work - i wouldn't be typing this !!!

this fooking ps2 is doing my nut in

I think the problem lies between the pc and the ps2

Billabong

LOL, guessed that, just never come across that one before...

Try THIS or These

cheers for then link Bill - unfortunatley i've tried all of that

My pc is an IBM netvista - i've tried to locate the correct drivers for the network card from the ibm web site - but i'm not sure its correctly configured

however i used to use the network port to talk to the cable modem ( I now use a USB conection so this is freed up for the ps2)

any suggestions how i can check the network card is ok

---------------------------------------------------------------

finally - when i get the pc to search for new hardware it finds a pci device - but win 2000 can never work out what it is so it never gets installed

bttt

Mike Gurney

well i went out and got a new network card - plugged it in and no joy

so its not the pc

so it must be the bloody ps2 adapter

there is a red cross throught the network icon (bottom right)

does this go when you turn on your ps2 ??

anyone ???

RaVeR

yes it should go when the ps2 is turned on because then it should be communitcating with your pc because the cross dissappears when my xbox is turned on

You don't want a crossover cable, you want a normal one (I suspect)

A crossover cable is to link one *hub* to another.

RANJ

u do want a crossover cable unless ps2 does switching

EscortWRC

I guess I suspected wrong....oh well, worth a shot

Mike Gurney

cheers for the feedback guys - i suspect the ps2 card is faulty

i'm gonna try it on a mates ps2 and see if that works next
