[size=12][b]THUG2 / THAW[/b][/size] You can use almost any online game (the Tony Hawk games do not have this feature) to make this network configuration. Go to the online section of the game and then look for a button that says, "Create/Edit Network Configuration". Click that and then follow the instructions on screen. From there you should be able to create the network configuration. [img]http://thlive.net/info/hosted/online_ps2/netconfig.jpg[/img] When asked if you would like to set the DNS server address automatically,[list=1][*]Select Manual. [*]Under Primary DNS Address put this in: [b]72.232.123.184[/b][*]If you do not have a Secondary DNS Address from your ISP, put this in: [b]208.67.220.220[/b][/list]Note: If you have configured your PlayStation 2 with a static IP address, when asked if you would like to set the IP address automatically, select "Manual" and enter your static IP network configuration. Note: You can also set this network configuration into your PlayStation 2 with the Network Start-Up Disc, by selecting "Manual Settings", as in the pictures.

[size=14][b][TROUBLESHOOTING][/b][/size] [size=12][b]CONNECTING TO MASTER SERVER/AUTHENTICATING DNAS/HOSTING[/b][/size] By configuring your PlayStation 2 with a static IP address (an IP address that does not change), and designating this same IP address as a DMZ host in your router's configuration, any online game you host or join on the PlayStation 2 will work without problems. It is recommended that you configure every online game console you own with this same IP address. [b]Configuring Your PlayStation 2 With Static IP Address (recommended for DMZ Hosting)[/b] If you use DHCP/"Automatic" IP retrieval, your PlayStation 2's LAN IP address can change. With DHCP/Automatic settings it does not always use the same IP address, but instead rotates and takes any available IP address that the router is willing to provide. To assign your PlayStation 2 a static (permanent) IP address, [b]Windows[/b][list=1][*]Click on Start. [*]Select Run. [*]Type "cmd" and click OK.[img]http://thlive.net/info/hosted/online_ps2/startmenu.gif[/img][img]http://thlive.net/info/hosted/online_ps2/runbox.gif[/img][*]When the command prompt is displayed, type the following command: [b]ipconfig[/b] [*]Click on Enter.[/list][b]Macintosh Users[/b][list=1][*]Select the APPLE menu. [*]Select CONTROL PANELS. [*]Select TCP/IP.[/list]The IP configuration information will appear. You will need to know the Subnet Mask (usually "255.255.255.0") and the Default Gateway (router's IP address). You can use almost any online game (the Tony Hawk games do not have this feature) to make this network configuration. Go to the online section of the game and then look for a button that says, "Create/Edit Network Configuration". Click that and then follow the instructions on screen. From there you should be able to manually set the PlayStation 2's static IP address. [img]http://thlive.net/info/hosted/online_ps2/netconfig.jpg[/img] Note: You can also set this network configuration into your PlayStation 2 with the Network Start-Up Disc, by selecting "Manual Settings", as in the pictures. [img]http://www.inebraska.com/help/howto/ps2/ps2026.jpg[/img][img]http://thlive.net/info/hosted/online_ps2/networkdisc.jpg[/img] When asked if you would like to set the IP address automatically,[list=1][*]Select Manual. [*]Under "IP address", choose an IP address based off of the Default Gateway by using the first three numbers of the Default Gateway and then attaching a different last number, but one that is not in use by another device on your network. For example, if your Default Gateway is 192.168.1.1, and your PC's IP address is 192.168.1.2, then you could choose 192.168.1.3 for your PlayStation 2. If you have other devices using the network at the same time (ie. other PC's in your house that are online) you may want to choose a later number (out of the DHCP range) for the PlayStation 2 such as "192.168.1.15". Using this IP address is a precautionary measure so you are not stealing an IP address that is already in use by another device on your network.[*]Under "Netmask", enter the Subnet Mask (usually "255.255.255.0") [*]Under "Default Router Address", enter the Default Gateway (router's IP address)[/list]When asked if you would like to set the DNS server address automatically,[list=1][*]Select Manual. [*]Under Primary DNS Address put this in: [b]72.232.123.184[/b][*]If you do not have a Secondary DNS Address from your ISP, put this in: [b]208.67.220.220[/b][/list] [b]DMZ Hosting (recommended)[/b] If you are having trouble connecting to the master server, authenticating DNAS or hosting a game online, go into your router's configuration. Set the PlayStation 2's IP address as a DMZ host. This is a Demilitarized Zone and will open all network traffic ports to the specified IP address. This means that for any online game you host from the Playstation 2 console, the proper network ports will be accessible by other players, thus allowing them to connect to your hosted game and allowing you to easily join any online game. [img]http://homepage.mac.com/car1son/linksys_dmz.jpg[/img] Note: Do not set your PC as the DMZ host. A home game console such as the PlayStation 2 is not vulnerable to outside attack. [b]Forwarding Ports 5150-5150[/b] If you are having trouble connecting to the master server, authenticating DNAS or hosting a game online, go into your router's configuration. Once in your router's configuration, forward the following port range to your PlayStation 2's IP address (to find out what the IP address of your PlayStation 2 is, find the DHCP clients table in your router setup and find the IP address that is associated to a device with no name): [b]5150 to 5150[/b] Make sure to select both TCP and UDP.[img]http://www.no-ip.com/routers/linksys2.jpg[/img] [b]Note:[/b] For detailed information on setting up port fowarding or configuring firewalls on your router, visit: [b][url=http://www.portforward.com/]PortForward.com[/url][/b] [b]Creating New Network Configuration Profile/Power Cycle[/b] If you are having trouble connecting to the master server or authenticating DNAS, try deleting your PlayStation 2's network configuration and then creating a new network configuration profile. There are a few different things you may want to try to establish a connection: [list=1][*]Turn off your cable modem, any network equipment (such as a router), and your PlayStation 2 system and unplug the power cables from the electrical outlet for a minimum of 2 minutes. [*]While your system is turned off and unplugged, check all cables for damage, and make sure they are plugged in securely. [*]Turn on the modem, router (if you have one), PlayStation 2, etc., starting at the cable modem and working back toward the PlayStation 2 system. [*]Using a Network Start-Up Disc or online enabled game, create a new network configuration profile.[/list] [b]Direct Connecting[/b] If you are having trouble connecting to the master server, authenticating DNAS, or hosting a game online, try to connect directly from the modem to the ethernet port on your PlayStation 2 system or network adaptor. [b]Upgrading Router Firmware[/b] If you are having trouble connecting to the master server, try obtaining the latest firmware updates for your router from your router's support website. [size=12][b]ACCESSING ROUTER SETTINGS[/b][/size] You can access your router settings page through your web browser with the router's IP address. [b]Obtaining the router's IP address/Default Gateway[/b] From a computer that is physically connected to the router, [b]Windows[/b][list=1][*]Click on Start. [*]Select Run. [*]Type "cmd" and click OK.[img]http://thlive.net/info/hosted/online_ps2/startmenu.gif[/img][img]http://thlive.net/info/hosted/online_ps2/runbox.gif[/img][*]When the command prompt is displayed, type the following command: [b]ipconfig[/b] [*]Click on Enter.[/list][b]Macintosh Users[/b][list=1][*]Select the APPLE menu. [*]Select CONTROL PANELS. [*]Select TCP/IP.[/list]The [b]Default Gateway[/b] will be the address of the router. Use that to connect to the settings page on the router with your web browser from a physically connected computer. [img]http://thlive.net/info/hosted/online_ps2/enteradminurl.gif[/img] If a login prompt appears, the default user name and password you use will vary depending on what type of router you have. Refer to your router's user guide, support website, or the [url=http://www.phenoelit-us.org/dpl/dpl.html]Default Password List[/url] website. [img]http://thlive.net/info/hosted/online_ps2/enteradminpassword.gif[/img] You may also reset your router to factory default settings before obtaining the Default Gateway IP address. [b]Resetting Router[/b] (optional)[list=1][*]Locate the reset button on the router. [*]Hold down the reset button for 30 seconds using a pen or a paper clip. [*]Release the reset button.[/list] [b]Default Router Information[/b] [b][url=http://www.phenoelit-us.org/dpl/dpl.html]Default Password List[/url][/b] Some common router addresses are as follows.[list][*]Netgear: Netgear typically uses the IP address 192.168.0.x [*]Linksys: Linksys typically uses the IP address 192.168.1.x [*]Dlink, Microsoft, and Dell: These routers typically use 192.168.2.x[/list]Digital instruction manuals are usually available online at the router's support website.
