"Bloody Network Adapter!!!"

So there i am, back from Canada and bought Socom 2 ready for some nice online action of slaughtering innocent people from Slough and other such places and i go to hook up my internet connection and set everything up. Well do you think i can bloody do it? Nope, all i get is that stupid red dot and connection cannot be established. Fair enough i'd think if i was trying to set it up using a router or something but i'm using a direct connection supposedly the simplest bloody method. Yet as you can see when i hook back up my internet cable to my modem i can get on the net fine, i just can't seem to get my PS2 online. I'm using my old cable i used to use when i got online before so i have absolutely no clue on why it isn't working anymore.

Needless to say i'm not a happy bunny at the moment

Well if you're a regular reader of my posts i don't really hide the fact i've got a modded PS2 :-D My uncle suggested to me that's what could be wrong with it and he was right. Just a pain to have to remember to keep turning it off each time.


> Anyway, glad to hear you've got it working now.

Me too. Let the killing commence :-D (Well after i get my brand new cable too)

Thanks for all your help anyway mate, much appreciated. Don't suppose you know a place to get a good cable from?

You plonker :D

Why didn't you say you had a modded PS2??

You're just lucky you can turn it off, or you really would have been in trouble.

Anyway, glad to hear you've got it working now.

I've got my PS2 online, bu tI've only ever used it to download files, not actually got any online PS2 games.

The Xbox kicks the Ps2's ass for online game support, maybe when GT4 comes out I'll get that.

Found out what was wrong with it now, apparently my modchip was messing it up somehow and when i turned it off my connection went fine. Had a quick game of Socom 2 and killed a team of 3 on my own on death trap (bloody hell it's dark isn't it?) Victory dances are pretty funny as well :-D

Anyway my query now is does anyone know a good place for a 10 foot cable for me to connect to my modem and PS2. I've decided i want to play my ps2 without hassle or news in my room and so need a cable to stretch from the living room up into my room. Anyone know a good cheap place to get a good decent, all weather cable?

hiy

still prefer my sledgehammer option, much more fun although not quite as effective at getting it to actually work as calling the support line

Call them anyway.

When you register online, they ask for your PS2 serial number and model number, might not work if the serial numbers don't match.

will do after i tried my uncle's PS2 with it, then if not i guess i will have to call them

Have you tried calling the support number in the back of the Network Adaptor manual?

Well i've also used my network adapter on my uncle's ps2 and that was the last one i went online with so i've got a suspicion like you said about the registration thing that when i go to connect the connection doesn't recognise my PS2 and so just doesn't work waiting for my the NA to be put in my uncle's PS2

Hmmm, I really don't know, sorry.

Could have been the MAC Address thing.

If it's not then there is something else not quite right about it, obviously :D
