Ahhh help

I\'ve done all the setup crap for the cable ISP and every time it says the connection failed! Any ideas?

you have to give us some details

who is yer ISP?
are you using the sony adaptor?
did you do the automatic configuration?
are you using a router?
etc?

is yours one of the PS2\'s that the BBA doesnt support? look on Page 6 of that Monstrous piece of literature thate call a manual, it lists the Model#\'s that are incompatible with the BBA.

I have cox high speed internet,  yes I am using the NA, yes I am using automatic config,  and no I\'m not using a router.

You\'ll need a router with COX. They use dynamic ip address\' (Means they change everyday) So you need a router that assigns a static ip address.

I have COX cable also. Got a router, it works like a charm.

So what kind of router do you have? And is that the only way? thanks for the help

Yup you\'ll need a router. I kept getting the same thing all day yesterday. I checked around on some boards and found out you can get a connection if you use a router. The one I picked up today is the Linksys 4port router, it worked like a charm. Oh yeah once you hook it up through the router go to the automatic settings and select NO for the other questions.

I personally use a NETgear router.  I paid $300 for mine two years ago and it works great.  One note on routers though, sometimes you have to reset them if you lose your internet connection.  This happens oh maybe once every 3 months with me.  All you do is unplug your cable modem and the router for about a minute then plug the modem back in followed by the router.  Once this is done the internet comes right up.

I have Linksys its working fine. Online setup was swift and easy simply rocks.

I\'m having a similar problem, but its over a college network.   When I try connecting to socom, the first thing it says is that the socom server isnt responding.  every time after that it tells me it cant detect an internet connection.  Madden just tells me the madden server isnt responding.  do i need a router too?
