"~SRS~ Clan chat!"

"Special Reserve Sonyphiles". That's the name voted to be the first ever Special Reserve online clan. Hopefully we can kick some bottom on SOCOM and other online games, while enjoying the whole experience as much as possible. If you would like to join the clan, just post your SOCOM username, and then whoever is in charge of the clan, will send you an invite (So check your SOCOM online invites!).

We decided not to have any rules as such. Obviously it would be nice to be a top team, but all that really matters is that we have FUN. So if you're not very good it doesn't matter! No one will have a go at you, that's not what we would like this clan to be about.

To join, you obviously need to be an SR user. Newbies to SR aren't going to be turned down, but it would be preferable if we got to know you a little bit first. It's also possible that people who aren't SR users may join the clan. But like I said, I'm sure all you guys who are SR regulars would prefer it to be people who you know, so anyone joining the clan should join SR first, and make an impression on us.

Another thing is, I'm making this post, but I think we should all agree that there is no leader as such. Obviously someone has to do the clan news (That appears on the SOCOM server) and someone needs to start the clan up, but like similar to what I said before, this clan is about fun and I don't think anyone should boss anyone else around. So without further ado, lets get this show on the road!

P.S. My SOCOM name is Natbuc. Our SOCOM tag is ~SRS~ kindly thought up by Aliboy. (Quite where the kindness is in that, I don't know. It just sounded appropriate.)

Nath.

Don't get Sygate. I can send you Winroute Lite, but you would have to disable ICS in Windows completely first.

I just disabled norton 2002 aswell as the windows and it sees to eb working. Now I want norton on aswell.

Okayyyy... well does Norton allow you to do port forwarding? Cos if it doesn't you'll have no choice but to turn it off.

This would suggest you need a fixed IP address. Is Broadband automatically a fixed IP address? What is a static IP address?

I don't think it does. I'm ruiing up these staors like the guy of Little Nicky with pineaplles up his ass. Socomis loading up now. Let me see if its working.

natbuc, my new name on Socom is ~SRS~ Crazy!

Garlic, I'm talking about from an ICS perspective!!! You're doing Direct Connection. In ICS the PC and PS2 need to know each other's IP address, but it can be dynamically allocated by your LAN.

You have to realise that the set up is completely different for every method of connecting.

Let me try and explain this. It depends on your ISP. Most cable BB providers give you a static (fixed) IP address. ADSL ISPs (like mine, Tiscali) allocate an IP address via DHCP (this is dynamic IP).

When you set up the PS2 you have to answer "is there a DHCP server?". If your IP address is allocated dynamically, whether by your ISP or your PC, then you select 'Yes'. I have never selected 'no' so I don't know what the difference is.

My name on it is ~SRS~ Ali

Played a quick game and it was pretty cool.

If anyone is going to be around in about an hour we could arrange a game?
