FINALLY got my network adapter today and so i thought i'd be in for some good online gaming tonight. Well obviously my computer has other ideas and i can't get the damn thing to work.
I've set my network adapter up as shown in the diagram and set up using a direct connection thinking that'd be the quickest and easiest way to get going (yea right). Well i put the network access disc in, put in all the details like broadband provider and all that and then run the test to see if my connection was up. Network adapter light was flashing green, modem was running fine but does it work? The hell it does, the connection starts testing itself and after a minute or so i just get one red light and it tells me a connection can't be found.
What's wrong with it then? Adapter seems fine, modem is fine so why isn't it working and not letting me be owned in a good game of SOCOM?

If you're using a direct connection make sure you pull out your PC connection lead from the back of the modem and also make sure you turn the modem off before you boot your PS2.
What if its a direct connection to a seperate socket, but the same overall line?

I mean as in what if he has two modems and they're in seperate rooms but they both connect to the same overall broadband line?

Wow you give up really quick dont you.
Yea giving up after virtually 2 days of searching the web, looking at diagrams and asking for advice and messing around with my computer and my PS2 resulting in me having to reboot twice, i sure give up easily.

Add onto that the £50 i paid for SOCOM for the main reason to play online and now i've played it and found the 1 player mode to be quite poor, in my opinion, thanks to Boomer giving me away every damn time then online play is it's only saving grace and i can't even do that at the moment.
