Morning people, after finally finishing my college work i have all summer free, but i can't get the headset to work in multiplayer at all, it works fine in single player but everytime someone tries to speak in multiplayer it shows the icon but with a cross through it, my setup is using ICS, with windows 2000 and a belkin 5 port switch connected via ethernet, has anyone got any ideas? do i need a router? if so which ones work but are cheap? thanks!

Yeah the voice 'traffic' is not being passed straight to your PS2.

I had this when I used a router. Your set up is pretty complex, ICS and a switch??? I dunno anything about switches but you need to make sure all your firewalls and stuff are turned off.

Are you sure there isn't some kind of basic protection in Windows ICS? I thought I'd read about something like that.

If your PS2 is connected to your PC, that means there is a straight cable to your PS2 from your PC. Simply connect this straight cable to the modem, as opposed to your PC and you can now straight connect like I did. :)

I have two network cards in my PC..would i be able to connect the PS2 to the other one as opposed to running the cable through my switch?

Did you switch the modem off at the wall first?
