Dan6061 Posted August 16, 2005 Report Share Posted August 16, 2005 Right, At christmas I bought myself A Network Adapter for my PS2, but couldn't connect it up because I didnt want to move my PS2 from my room to downstairs. Anyway, now the computer is in my room connected to the internet etc, so I thought I might give it a go. I've plugged it into the PS2, connected the lead into the adapter, then the other end to a LAN port (thingy) on the back of my computer. Is that the correct way to do it? I've also made a network bridge for it to see if that will work, but when I plugged in the PS2 to the LAN, the computer didn't do anything. I thought it would of said Found New Hardware or something, but no. I've got the Network CD in the PS2 and I'm trying to set it up so I can connect it, but it's saying "Cable not correctly connected." Does anyone know what the correct way is?

Danny Posted August 16, 2005 Report Share Posted August 16, 2005 How is the pc connected to the internet? Wireless? USB Modem? Another Lan Port? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan6061 Posted August 16, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2005 (edited) USB Modem It's A BT Voyager 105 Modem you get with AOL Broadband Edited August 16, 2005 by Dan6061 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly C Posted August 16, 2005 Report Share Posted August 16, 2005 USB Modem It's A BT Voyager 105 Modem you get with AOL Broadband ← You need an Ethernet modem for sure, otherwise you cant really do it. If you want your PC running with the PS2 at the same time you should get a Ethernet modem, then a Router, then some Ethernet cables that way you'll be sorted and could connect 2 more things if needs be.

Dan6061 Posted August 26, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2005 (edited) Ok, sorry to bump up an old topic, but It's better then using A new one. Anyway, I've got my Crossover cable plugged into the Network adapter, and the other end into a LAN port on the back of my computer. But I still can't seem to make A connection :( I go to make the Network Configuration, this is the setup: It Says " What network hardware do you want to connect with?" The only option is: SCE/Ethernet (Network Adaptor) "Who is your Broadband Internet Service Provider? AOL blueyonder BT Broadband BT yahoo! Broadband Freeserve ntl This is where I'm Stuck... Please choose the Hardware Operation Mode for this device.If you are unsure, click Auto-Detect. Auto-Detect 10BaseT Half-Duplex 10BaseT Full-Duplex 100BaseTX Half-Duplex 100BaseTX Full-Duplex For all of them it says: Please ensure your console network cable is connected, Continue? So I click OK and then: Cable not correctly connected. :( Can someone please help? I'm stuck and confused...
