Are u using a gameshark or a modchip? if so, that's the problem...

[letsburn06]

no im not using a game shark or modchip....just my dsl cable hooked up right to the back of my ps2...sometimes it will let me in like 1 time every month n thats it

[OniEhtRedrum781]

Do you have a firewall going on ur computer?

[letsburn06]

Like a firewall on my computer or one that is on my connection from my isp?

[FreeVenice]

a firewall on your router? I had an issue with that. I forget how I did it but it didn't involve turning the fire wall off. does it give you a reason or does it just say dnas error? Try taking all the cord connections off and putting them back, the if you have a router, connect to that with your computer and check the settings. make sure it is open to more than one connection.

[letsburn06]

It says dnas error 612 check ur connection n network configuration...but ti works every once n awhile...n ive tried unpluggin n back in n unpluggin my modem n everytin....and with my router my comp is fine and its not firewalled.

ok when I had a ps2 which was around a year ago or more I had the same problem. It needed ports opened from within the "modem/router" look up your "modem/router" on portforward.com or portforwarding.com some shit like that. It should have a in depth walk through of how to open ports on your router/modem. oh yea each game should say what ports need to be open and the ps2 manual will probably tell what basic ports need to be open in order for it to work. Oh yea by indepth I mean with screenshots. Peace yo hope this shit helps you.

dsl modems/routers have a built in firewall

[letsburn06]

Ok so where can i find out which ports need to be open cuz i didnt find it in my ps2 manual.

[affasd]

depends on the individual game, search for socom 2 or whatever game you wanna play and see what ports need to be opened

[letsburn06]

wow opening ports seems complicated i dont wanna mess my comp up either....like static ip adresses n stuff i didnt understand all that shit....would the ports for socom 2 b the same as socom 3?

[Tranquility]

only thing I could find online says that the ports are specific to each game. So I looked up socom2 for you and it says to open up ports 6000-6999 tcp and udp also make sure you have your ps2's ip address in the server ip address slot.(if it asks for one) but thats for to talk with the headset I also found the instruction book lol here's the link and read page 27 and 28 it tells you exactly what to do I bet you have to enter your dns ipaddy static ip of the ps2 and your routers netmask. so go to this link and look on page 27 and 28 if you need help finding your ipaddy and stuff go to start/run/cmd then type in "ipconfig"



sorry I can't be of much more help man heres that link

PlayStation.com - mozilla/4.0 (vbseo; http://www.vbseo.com) (http://fp.scea.com/Content/games/SCUS-97275/manual/manual.pdf)

[Tranquility]

start/run/cmd and ipconfig is from your comp not the ps2 sorry

[letsburn06]

i didnt know ps2's had their own ip adress wow i learn new shit from this board everyday lol

[Tranquility]

lol anything you hook up has its own macaddress and its own ip addy


peace man I'm goin ta bed.

[letsburn06]

i just wish i could get this thing to work cuz i miss playin socom online lol...this shit is to complicated for me

[slipknotpsycho]

sounds to me like you don't have your connection configured right....

pop in your network set up disk and make a new connection.. makin sure you answer all the questions right.

[letsburn06]

Thnks everyone man i love this message board...its was the ports i had to open now it works fine...thanks!!!!

[FreeVenice]

Now you just need to get BattleField 2

[letsburn06]

have it lol i think batlefield 2 modern combat?I have that

[FreeVenice]

I'm always playing that one online

[letsburn06]

is it just as good as socom?Like ranks and shit or wat?

[FreeVenice]

It has rank and you could earn medals. It's about the same but 1st person. and it's always respawn, how it should be. lol
