:mad:
So I finally picked up a Network Adapter with Splinter Cell PT today expecting to have a night of online action, but the frickin thing keeps giving me a DNS error when testing the connection.

Has anybody else experience this problem and fixed it? Because I\'ve followed the guides at uk.playstation.com and they\'re worthless because I\'m still getting this bloody error. :mad:

Same here
i have mine patched through a router and AOL....
It works with Champions of Norrah but it won\'t with Socom II because i think it requires you to register with Central Station.
Anway i phoned up Sony support and they are sending me out a new NA disk that will solve the problem.

Found this over at the ps2 forums, going to try it now, better work :D
Pass All Diagnostic Tests But Cant Get to Central Station
If you pass all tests, your PS2 is ready to go online!
However, lots of peeps get a message "Central Station Can\'t be Contacted, Please Check your settings and try again".
This is just a bug (Please note, you must ensure you pass the diag test first).
If this is you, Do this!:
First, go to the “Get Connected” Menu, and then choose “Edit Network Configuration”. Copy down all of the current settings that pass the Diagnostic test. Once done, exit the screen.
Next, enter the PlayStation 2 Memory Card Browser screen by first ejecting the Network Access Disc and then resetting the consoles with no disc inside the machine.
Choose the “Browser” option and select your memory card.
Locate all “Central Station Settings” Save Files and also “Your Network Configuration” Save Files and delete them.
Then enter the Network Access Disc and create a new configuration file that is identical to the original configuration that passed the test.
Run the Diagnostic test to ensure it is correct and then go through to Central Station!
Simple as that!

why do you have DNS server set as your router IP?
192.168.0.1 = gateway, hardly a DNS server
running it on same router as PC connection?
type ipconfig /all at dos prompt
there\'s your DNS
-
mm hit it on the nail.
The DNS is submitted by your Provider. Either type in the above in mm\'s post or check your ISP provider. Actually, if you check your router which is most likely gets the IP dynamically (DHCP), you should be able to find the primary and secondary DNS address there. Good luck!

That\'s what the automatic thingy on the network disc gave me, but after reading through some forums I configed it manually and got all the green lights. But I still haven\'t managed to get online using the Internet Connection Sharing with XP, I\'ve phoned Sony up, read all the guides but its still fugged up. :banghead:
-
Windows ICS?? *gag*
Your router should facilitate sharing the internet over a single IP.
-
can you surf the internet using a second computer hooked up exactly like the PS2 using the same configuration?
No proxy server?
You might also have to configure port routing on your router. Not sure if I had to do mine. If it helps you - it took me ages for me to get my nick registered at central - seems to be very slow.
Nothing on port routing? Perhaps you can put your PS2 in the DMZ (demilitrized zone sp?) and see if it works then. Or hook up the PS2 directly to your internet connection (not through the router) and try it if it works. You will of course have to change the config for that though if you choose to bypass the router (probably switching to DHCP --> depends your ISP).

excellent point.
MAKAVELIUK,
doesn\'t your router include a hub? If yes, connect the IP directly to the hub (that is if your router has multiple RJ45 slots).
If it doesn\'t - consider buying a hub and hook them up like this:
[ ISP ] <------> [ Router ] <-------> [ Hub ] <-------> [ WinXP client ]

I have no router that\'s why I went the ICS way and followed the guide on how to set up a ICS connection at the Network Guide section on the official Playstation website.

I have all the right cabling etc, because I can play online with Xbox using Xbox connect. Do you recommend me buying a router? And if I fork out for one, should I then be able to get connect to Central Station. And you know, actually play some games online without all these problems?
-
try putting your PC\'s IP as the gateway and not 192.168.0.1
oh, and ICS is the devil

i have a origo 8400 router with AOL...
On my old network disk i get 5 green lights and it runs fine with champions of norrah...But i can\'t connect to Central Station...
I phoned Sony and they said that i had a software problem with the setup disk... they mailled me a newer version through the post.
Got it yesterday and tryed the diagnostic ...but this time it fails on the 4th test....(transroute test)...
Phoned sony again...they said not to worry about the one fail as the DNS,PING and sonys DNAS connection tests all past\'ed.
Loaded up Central Station on the new disk... this time the sofware was more stable...it loads....connects to the DNAS...then nothing...except a Blank Blue screen...
5 minutes leter it says it can not connect to the network...
i phoned sony again and they said not to worry because even WITH the new disk Central Station can be tempermental.
they said the Blank screen is OK but from time to time you will get the "can not connect to the network" message.
Anway... i tryed againa and again and still no joy :(....
Can\'t understand it it works fine and well with champions of noraah
-
Maybe this came up before....
...but you\'re in Scotland and use AOL!?

You have to use a crossover cable on the one that goes from the ps2 to the second nic on the cpu or go buy a cheapy hub 30 bucks or less and go a straightthrough cable to the uplink on the hub and then connect the PSX2 to the hub also using a straightthrough.

He has to use the 192.168.0.1 because the ps2 is connected to that nic and wont be able to reslove past it.
-
the 2nd nic shouldnt be 192.168.0.1
-
No wonder ooSeven can\'t spell...He\'s an AOL user.

no but the gateway should be on the second nic....
Just needs a crossover cable and then its a done deal.
-
Got it working now...
Just had to open up the required ports on the router and BINGO...
Now registared with Central Station too :D.

My network disc and adapter have been put into storage (https://psx5central.com/community/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.psx2central.com%2Fforums%2Fimages%2Fsmilies%2Ffrown.gif&hash=5e94ac30175cc148cf404c11161b37cdbf050414) until I can get hold of a router.
-
trust me...getting a router means you don\'t have to worry about having your PC on when you want to playthe PS2.
Also once its setup thats you.
