"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

Oh yea it's the same PAL things and everything, the exact same equipment i used before i left which makes it even more puzzling on why the stupid thing won't connect up

I used to have my PS2 online but i've sold it now and i have a Xbox, its much easier to set up on Xbox.

I just sold my Network Adapter.

Same NA and PS2 and everything? Because I gather PAL PS2s won't work with US NA's etc...

Can you log into the Central station thingy?

*stares blankly into space* ...ummmmm......yes?

But i know it works because i used to use this same method all the time before i left for Canada and now i come back and it's stopped? Annoying though because the modem light is flashing for activity and my network adapter lights are flashing too. Stupid thing

You have an ehternet wall socket at home?
