PS2, ntl.... wireless??

[funklectic]

Hello all.
okay... please bear with me. This may get a little complicated.
I have ntl broadband and my modem is connected to a wi-fi router. I receive my internet connection on my pc wirelessly because when the effing NTL guy came round, he was too lazy to install my modem anywhere near my pc.

Now, i want to know if i can still connect my PS2 online without being anywhere near my modem. The television that i use my PS2 on is nowhere near the modem... infact, its on a different floor of the house.

anyone out there have any advice?? is it possible to connect the PS2 wirelessly?? :eh:

I think you can get a wireless network adaptor for ps2s. I don't know which ones are any good tho

[funklectic]

All you need is a 'Wireless Gaming Adaptor'

They are basically a wireless device with an ethernet connection that connects to the ethernet port of your PS2, XBOX etc.

Some examples here (http://www.broadbandbuyer.co.uk/default_ShopGroup.asp?ShopGroupID=30)

HTH, & :welcome: to the site. :)

My PS2 is linked wirelessly and works sweet, just post for any advice.

mick70 what wireless kit do you use

[funklectic]

thank you very much ppl. as soon as i have the neccessary hardware, i'll be jumping on here if i have any problems.... cant wait to get started on ProEvo5

[mick70]

I use a cheap Linksys 802.11b router £30, and a Linksys WET11 bridge £30. All works fine.

[funklectic]

hey mick. i finally have all the neccessary hardware.
i have just installed the network adapter onto the ps2.
what difficulties will i encounter from this point onwards.... ??
do i just insert the access disk and go from there...??
will the ps2 recognise my gaming adapter automatically??
your help and knowledge will be much appreciated.

[mick70]

Just follow the set up instructions, make sure you write down all passwords!!!
Connect an ethernet cat 5 cable to router then to ps2 to go online first time. When you are all set up then go wireless.Any probs please ask.

A good online game that is easy to play/set up is Pro Evo 5.;)

[funklectic]

well... before i got a chance to read your reply i was setting up the ps2 using the wireless with no luck... it was recognising the network but kept failing when tryin to obtain my dns. tomorrow i will do as you suggested. i have bought all the hardware just to play pro evo5 online... i cant wait. again, thanx for your help.

[mick70]

I will help all I can, look forward to playing you at Pro 5 online. My player name is MICKUK.

Go wireless with no encryption first, then go safe when stable.

i managed to get it to work today after connecting it directly to my router to set it up as you suggested.
Took it back upstairs, where i managed to get a game through the wireless, although it was a bit slow and as a result i got beat 4-0!!
I needed to reboot the modem as for some reason the internet connection to my pc wasnt up although it was picking up the network.
after i did that, i havnt been able to connect to pro evo5 netplay again. kept failing at the DNAS stage.... so i gave up having to take the ps and my television downstairs yet again... what am i doing wrong??

[mick70]

Are you saying it works perfect wired but not wireless?

[funklectic]

it worked wirelessly, but ever since i rebooted my modem, it hasnt connected again. also, everytime i switch on my pc now, its not picking up an internet connection unless i reboot the modem.... im frocked!!

[funklectic]

okay... i finally got everything to work... my set-up was fine as was my config. Stupidly and somehow subconsciously, i connected the modem into the router into the wrong port. this is what was causing the wireless connection to my pc to fail. thanks again for your help Mick.... look for me online, i have the same user name as here.... easy.
