My current set-up is a slim PS2 SCPH-70003 which is softmodded via freemcboot on a memory card. I run a back-up CoD3 (NTSC-U) which is patched to allow ESR to do its thing. I've attempted to set up a network configuration file, and I've tried various things with that file (auto IP, manual IP etc), along with the DNS stated on the ps2online.tk page, but constantly get a DNAS (-402) error when I try to connect up via CoD3.
Any help, ideally in the form of an idiot's guide, would be very gratefully received. Cheers in advance

Oh and while I'm here, is Area 51 now officially kaput for online play?
