ive tried to set up my ps2 numerous times to get online but it just doesnt work. i have the adaptor connected and i have the etherenet cord in. im not using a router or a switch i just used my computer modem. my internet provider is charter. Do i need a router to connect, i just need some help.111v

I know all of my router information, I just think that some part of my setup might be wrong. These are the values i am entering.
IP - 102.168.1.60 (the ip i'm trying to assign my PS2)
mask - 255.255.255.0
Default Router - 192.168.1.1
DNS 1- 67.69.184.199
DNS 2- 67.69.184.23

On my linksys router i have DMZ'd the IP 102.168.1.60 so my PS2, were it able to connect, should not have any closed ports. I'm stumped as to why this configuration is not working.macabre_one

Dude, here is the answer for all Gaming systems for routing connections with out buying expensive gaming routers. The solution is basically buy a cross over cable! and the step by step instructions. Your setting up a imaginary router which is your computer or laptop.

1. u Need a cross over cable. Cat 5 won't work at all. if using cat 5 it will show network cable unplugged. Plug the crossover into the wired network card and ps2 slim or xbox.

2. Bridge connections. Start off by highlighting both a wired network card and wireless network card or usb wireless adapter. then right click and say bridge connections.

3. Once Bridged connections, goto command prompt and ----->type in---> netsh bridge show adapter(this shows the 1 and 2 networks. now type in netsh bridge set adapter # e, make sure both connections are enabled. e= enabled d=disabled. After both 1 and 2 are enabled, type netsh bridge show adapter (to see if they are both enabled) this is force compatibility. if they are close out command prompt

4. make sure the bottom right hand corner of desktop menu bar show a network connection not an X by LAN. ***basically your LAN and wireless networks should be bridge by now showing no X.

5. Turn on ps2 slim or xbox. configuration with sony cd and use the LAN automatic. This will set up itself.

6. If this doesn't work then I don't know, either your network cards don't support promiscous mode, or you need to troubleshoot(check google for advice) but this is what I know. and please don't go into your network configurations of the network cards unless you know what you are doing with the TCP/IP stuff. If you get crazy and do, and screw up your computer, do the accessories/systemtools/systemrestore option to goback to original settings from a few days ago. Please don't get crazy cause bridging connections could mess up. use your head.

7. Sorry if hard to understand im not from this planet. thanks funkacpu!!!
