Except how to get the bloody thing working once you have set it up! :P

Do you know what they said to my 'help email'? Call the hotline. Call the bloody hotline!?!?!?! I have called the bloody hotline and it's busy!!!!! And it turns out it costs national rate. Ouch. Got it working now anyway, so thanks:

For trying to help. Staright through works best though. Also a question for you or anyone who can answer, FM. Midnight CLub 2. Doesn't seem to do anything on the 'Starting Network Game' screen. Does it usually take long? Is the server down? Is it my game faulty? Same with Central Station, that doesn't seem to want to be accessed. If anyone has time could they check if they can get on to Central Station, or is it just me...

I'm about to get a new PC with a nice FX 5200 Ultra, but do any of the modern games work online without broadband? and how far back do i have to go to find an online game that will work on a 56k?

Thanks. You think it's my connection? As SOCOM works fine when in a game with 16 people and using voice comms. :S

Could be, trying deleting your MC2 network configuration file from the memorycard and seeing if it'll let you connect with a new one from scratch.

I don't have a MC II one. Only my normal one I set up using my network disk.

In that case I'm going to fall back on my usual cop out. Give Sony a ring :)
