Peculiar Issue with PS2 LAN
Posted: Tue Feb 12, 2013 2:19 am
Hi everyone I am new to the site, but not new to gaming. Been playing way back since the NES times. I would have to say the NES, SNES, and PS2 are my all time favorite consoles. Now down to business...
So I am trying to connect over a LAN two PS2's to play SOCOM US Navy Seals II with a buddy. I have a hub, two switches, and a router and can not seem to get the damn thing to run. Using the hub I went in and changed everything to a static IP address looks something like this:
PS1 - Original Fat PS2

IP: 192.168.1.177
SUBNET MASK: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 0.0.0.1
DNS: 1.1.1.1
2.2.2.2
PS2 - New Slimline PS2

IP: 192.168.1.178
SUBNET MASK: 255.255.255.0
DNS: 1.1.1.1
2.2.2.2
Technically, everything should work. If I host a game, my buddy can see it but when he connects the hosted game disconnects. It's really odd because there is no port forwarding involves because it is literally a dumb hub. My only thought is, If anyone has experienced this please interject, that the original and slimline ps2's are not network compatible.
I could be wrong, matter of fact, I hope I am wrong about this. I have searched everywhere and have not seen people complain about this issue. Thanks in advance for any help.
