"SOCOM Headset"

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!

just been looking at the guides...do i actually need a cross over cable because i am connecting it to my switch?

because then i'll have to plug my ethernet cable back into my Pc to the modem and take it out and turn the modem off when i want to play on the ps2

nope..how come you have to do that? also surely if i have to keep switching it off don't i have to do that everytime i play online? :( cos it sounds a hassle

Did you switch the modem off at the wall first?

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?

i tried putting a cable from my PS2 straight into my modem but it didn't connect..do i have to reconfig my settings and do a test?

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'm not sure actually..

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

thing is, i don't have a firewall..what other ways can i connect up my PS2?
