Dude looks like your PS2 could use a little cleanin there.
                       
               I was a little jealous at first but now that I see that u have to play test Gameday I kinda feel sorry for you.

Sorry guys, no more pics from what I have already taken.  don\'t wanna push my luck more then I already have..  You gots all the info I can give now..

Once the beta test is over I will give you guys a lot more info...

No I don\'t have broadband   Just 56k dial up..

But what I am doing is  

 PS2 --- > 100mbs Switch --->  Main Pc --- > Dial up to my ISP

I just set up my main pc to do DHCP (hand out ip address) so I just set my PS2 to find an IP automaticaly, took all but 1 min to set up my PS2 and get it connected to the net...

Can you tell us how the gameplay is yet?  Can you tell us if it\'s smooth?  Any slowdown?  I don\'t know how much you can tell us, but if you stay generic you may be alright.

I finally had a chance to get on last night..  There are not many people on right now, well at least not last night, maybe 10 at most..

Seems there is an issue with 56k and gameday right now, that is being worked on..  Also typing with the damn controller is very slow...  I am going to pick up a USB keyboard today so I can use that instead.  

All I have done so far is chat a little bit.  I am going to try it some more tonight...  

I will keep yall posted..

I am just in Frequency. I don\'t play sports games. kirath, do you use the same name in chat?
I gotta get a keyboard too, using the DS2 stinks for chat.

Dood I use the same name everywhere.  And if you find someone using my name let me know..

I found a couple people so far that tried to gank my name.  I laid the hurt needless to say.

Do you know if the Linksys adapters will still work with the games? Or is the Sony BBA supported?

kirath,
My computer is nowhere near my PS2. I have DSL service, but no DSL modem near my PS2.

Is it possible to get a DSL USB modem with ethernet hookups and plug it in the PS2\'s BBA, or do I need to run through a damn computer?? If so, got any recommendations?

Thanks?

Really, if you have DSL the best thing you could do is get a hub..  Run the dsl connection into the hub, and then run your PC and your PS2 off that hub as well...

That would be the best way to do it, just get a long ethernet cable and run it to your ps2.  I guess you could get a dsl modem for your PS2.  Its a possibility..  

How far is your PS2 from your PC?

Two floors....

My pc is up on the 2nd floor and my PS2 is in the basement:(

Would a DSL modem work as a standalone, you know without Windows and crap?

Hub? Does that have a standard Phone line hookup with multiple ethernet ports?

Just thought of something!!!!!!!!!!

I do have LAN 10/100 on my motherboard. Can I LAN from my comp to my PS2 and use it that way?

With a DSL, I have mine going into a hub.  I then go to the computer in one room and also an outlet in the living room for my laptop.  That outlet in the living room will eventually be for the PS2.

DSL runs on it\'s own.  If you want to plug a DSL directly into the PS2 then that should work as well.  But it seems like you would want it for your computer too though.

What do you mean, it runs on it\'s own?? You mean I could plug my line right into the PS2 and get on the net, with no "modem"??

Thing is though, my DSL line is just a plain old phone line (not ethernet--big plug), so I can\'t plug into the ethernet port of the BBA.

Do they have converter cables that convert a phone jack into a ethernet size jack?

Hey you can go from the LAN card to your PS2.  You need a crossover cable, you can ask any computer store and they should be able to hook you up..

But I highly recommend you get a hub or a switch. and connect them that way, turn on internet connection sharing on your PC and let it hand the PS2 an IP...

Sorry this sound confusing, but its not, once you do it, you will realize....  

Me being a network engineer makes this all second nature, but thats why I am trying to help you out too..

Bear with me Kirath....:shy:

So, could I get a wireless HUB. Connect it to my LAN connector on my computer. And connect the receiver to the PS2\'s ethernet port?

PC---->LAN-->Wireless HUB...... ----->PS2 BBA?
