TUTORIAL - Manually Configuring Your XLink Kai & PS2 *With Pics*

Wazzup LifeWater? You still drifting online then?

 

I Edited this post.... because the question i had was asked already sorry

 

damn, this might sound stupid, but i have no idea how to connect my PS2 to my computer with my router. Its not a wireless router. if someone would like to help me out over MSN my email is mk_gino89@hotmail.com..the only way i know how to play online for other games is take the cat 5 cord out of the back of my pc and plugging it in directly to the PS2. But once i do that i lose my internet connection to my pc.

 

YOu need another cat5 cable that you run from the ps2 to another open port on the router. no way around it.

 

ok so from the computer, 1 cat 5 goes into the router, then another cat 5 cable goes from the router to the ps2?

 

yes

 

what a bout my modem tho? what plugs into that?

 

I see you're not understanding me ...

 

wow thanks a lot man your a life saver...that diagram is perfect, and i love the way u drew that ps2 controller LOL...thanks again bro!

 

This is wierd... I have a network adapter and everything correctly installed on my PS2, but I have no MAC address... I have played other games online before, and I just tried setting up x link today, and i find out that I have no MAC Address, like, it doesnt even say MAC Address in the "Version" section...

 

good tutorial.... but the only problem is that I cannot use the Calculator thing...the PS2 Manual IP Calculator....I click on it and I get a "404"

if you would search... i posted a working link to it in the 6th page, which is the one before this one. PLEASE search through the full thread before posting that you cannot find something, as it has probably already been addressed.

 

I found my MAC address by doing Automatic setting, which already detects my ps2 by Kai, it shows "Configure successful" and they show my MAC address. So I guess that's the only way for older version of PS2.

 

I'll just re-enter my whole problem, I can't find the PS2 except when i unlock my NIC. My connection works fine between PC and PS2, can play online games on my PS2 . I use a PS2 slim and a PC with double NICs.

Oh and when i close my DHCP in the Administration Tools my internet connection gives up. Start it again and i'm back in business... i tried the autosetting in GT4 and the DHCP, but i didn't get any netmask so i tried 255.255.255.0, the same as IP and some other... still don't find PS2

Please help me

 

anyone want to help me? please!

 

i did every thing correct and i cant get in to games. i got kai working and dected every thing i just cant get in to a gt4 game. and yes there is a host

 

Using 2 NIC supposely will be easier. I think the IP setup between the PS2 and your PC is not correct. Just my opinion....

This is the IP setting that i've been used to connect my PS2 to the NIC.

I'm sorry if this is not right. It is to show my setting that have been work for months.

p/s: Sorry for the lousy drawing.

 

Here's way another to find the MAC Address.

Most complicated thread EVER

 

can someone please tell me how to find the net-values, all that ip spooler gives you is a new IP address

 

I cant get this to work. I set everything up like posted, but all I get is the "Waiting for Connection" screen on the PS2. It never actually connects to anything.

 

im going to go out on a limb here and say that you either didnt join the gt4 americas arena, or if you did you didnt join a room and follow the hosts instructions.

 

What do I enter in "netmask"? The IP address again or do I leave it blank?

 

if you would have read the whole article, you would have seen what was said about the netmask values.
im not going to tell you what to put there when the article clearly tells you what you need to do.
you NEED TO READ THE WHOLE TUTORIAL, not just look at the pictures.

 

Still rockin' after a year huh...

 

When doing this I am given a single set of numbers, my IP address, no "Sub-net values" are displayed. I DID read the entire article, I dont see why you cant just help me out with this little bit, the rest of the write-up is awesome.

I dont know what to enter there since I have not been given a sub-net value, unless it is the same number as the IP. That is what I am asking.


When trying to connect to a game, the other people are saying they cant read my ping. My windows firewall is off when trying to connect. The only other thing I could think of is my router, if it has a built in firewall I have no clue how to turn it off...

 

Welcome back DT_C! I hope we can xlink soon .

 

if you would have read this you would have seen how to do it.

 

Where can you find the Mac address?

 

Please read the thread. I'm sure you only saw the picture. There's 2 way: you can find it on the first post or here https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/showthread.php?t=65171&page=7.
