Hi,
I managed to get XLink Kai working.
Here's how I did:
Hardware setup:
- Connect PS2 to routeur using straight network cable
- Connect laptio to router using straight network cable
On the PS2:
- Before starting GT4, grab your MAC address (on slim PS2 it can be done by hitting triangle on the menu when you start your console without any disc)
- In GT4, go to Arcade Mode
- Choose "LAN multiplayer"
- Create new connection
- Give it a name (e.g. XLink Kai)
- Turn DHCP Off
- As default gateway input your router IP address (e.g. 192.168.0.1)
- As network mask input 255.255.255.0
- As IP address, translate your PS2 MAC address into IP address using

- Save your config
- Select it and hit "connect"
- After less than 10s, you shall reach "waiting for connection" screen
On the laptop:
- Download and install XLink Kai
- Create a XLink Kai user account if you don't have any
- Start (with admin right) XLink Kai to start the engine
- Login with your XLink Kai credentials
- Start (with admin right) XLink Kai User Interface
- After starting the User Interface I had to close the tab in my browser opened when I started the engine else, it made the application crashing
- Go to the diagnostics by clicking the magnifying glass
- After some time (less than a minutes) "network reachable" should show "yes".
- On the second page of the diagnostics tools, it shall show "PS2 detected and correctly configured"
Play:
- Go to the arenas by clicking on the globe.
- Select PlayStation 2
- Select Gran Turismo 4 and the region of the game.
- Follow the instructions appearing on the chat.
This worked for me.
