hi and :welcome: to the site , shouldnt you be connecting straight into the stb / sacm and not direct to your pc :)

theyve done it with ICS and a cross over cabe so it should work.

are you using a STB or a SACM?

03-02-2005, 21:53

you should have got a CD with the PS2 network adaptor. You use that to set up the account

Slasher_12
03-02-2005, 21:56
yes i've done it. i set it with ip 192.168.0.2 mask 255.255.255.0 gateway 192.168.0.1 (my ethernet adapter ip). it passed the diagnostic.

03-02-2005, 22:05

nope. thats not it. i already dona that. it is the nad config. the problem is the central station.

gary_580
03-02-2005, 22:29
i dont know what to suggest then.

You didnt take much time to read it and the manual configuration section is quitte long and detailed

i recently recieved a new Central Station set up CD so i dont know if something has changed recently

could you try with the NAD?

gary_580
03-02-2005, 22:50
what is a NAD?

Slasher_12
03-02-2005, 22:54
nad = Network acess disk. the cd that comes with ps2 network adapter. it as 2 features. creating the definitons to connected ps2 to the net and central station where you input the model em serial of your ps2. They are 2 different thing. one is the config other is the central station and my problem is only in central station.

Slasher_12
03-02-2005, 23:12

03-02-2005, 23:13

I seem to remember being sent a disc for central station (i guess it was an updated version or something as it came with some letter about an upgrade or something, cant remember exactly it was a while ago) but as i rarely used it i forgot the pin/password for mine.


maybe your using the older disc or something..

I may still have the disc floating around somewhere if you want ill have a quick look at it and tell you what version ive got. (thats if i can find it)
