I am still having no luck at all, I have tried connecting directly with a crossover and connecting using a router. I am only trying to get 2 ps2s up and linked. I have tried using the auto IP and entering in two separate ip addresses. Who is having success every time they link and what is the way that WILL actually work. I searched LAN earlier and looked at the post and read the german site etc. I still can t get these things to link up.
