OK I just got my network adapter today, and hey I slap it in my PS2 and I can't connect, if I reset box, yes I'm using the NTL box not modem, anyway I can do some teset but still no connection, I call NTL, sorry you must pay 26.99 so £2 extra to go on net with us, I'm like hmm, ok whatever, till I learned that the PS2 has a different MAC then my PC and since teh PS2 don't have a browser I can't register the modem, well them I'm like screw them I'm not paying £2, jammy *******s, so I do seome searching and guess what, well lets make this simple:
Start your setup on your PS2, make sure u write down your MAC ie :00:00:FF:11:EE:5F
Then go on kazaa or emule/edonkey whatever and download a program called: SMAC 1.2 Full version, I got the 1.2 version but I guess other versions should work.
This is official site, but only the trial version is available, which will not let you change your MAC:
http://www.klcconsulting.net/smac/
So once you have the software install it run it and change you MAC, reset BOX then just either reset pc or disable connection and enable connection.
Now your PC will have same ID as your PS2, just go to www.ntlworld.com and register the new MAC, make sure you have your PID and Password for NTL.
Your PS2 should now go on the net with no problem, no need for routers and such.
I don't play my PS2 online that much so I don't see point in wasting money on a router or hub or even paying NTL £2 a month.
Hope it helps.
