I wasnt even thinking =( sony NA related
« on: August 29, 2002, 11:59:51 AM »
I managed to find the last NA at a bestbuy today. I get home and eagerly install and proceed to set up the thing. I forgot one minor problem..I have a damn usb modem for mi DSL.

Im not very pc literate or I am sure I would have figured out how to get online anyway.

Sooo..that is where I need the help of you pc guru\'s..what can I do to get this damn sony online?

we have a damn PC forum luckee!  With loads of nerds, just sitting there waiting to prove their nerdage, and you post it in OT, you\'re such a bafoon.  :D

Seriously though, I wish I could help you, but I have no idea what a NA is, maybe my brain isn\'t working...which is about the norm.

Does your gateway device (DSL modem) have additional connectors for CAT5 ethernet cable?  If so, no problem.  If not, maybe you can get a replacement gateway from your ISP.  Surely they do not offer ONLY the USB variety because not every PC has USB ports.

It sure doesnt, so i guess Im going to have to call bellsouth and get another type. I know they have like 3 different modems.

On a side note, I take it there is nothing that goes from USB to phone plug? Ive seen the plug to USb adapters but not the opposite.

you could either

a.  unplug the DSL line from the USB modem and plug it into the PS2 network adaptor

b.  get a router

Just plugging the line into the NA didnt seem to work. It wouldnt connect. I did go through the auto selection set-up..maybe I should try manual.
