| 369123 | 2005-07-03 22:04:00 | I am setting up ADSL in someones house. Not only do they want their computer on ADSL but,I also have been asked to get their PS2 online. They seem to think you need a special device from sony to do this, I had a look on the back of the PS2 and there is an ethernet port. Can I just plug the PS2 directly into a switch, along side the modem and computer, and expect it to work. (probally be some sort of setup on the PS2 for the IP's etc) |

The "special device" from Sony might be a clever "modem", if it comes with an Ethernet connection.;) (I've got a Dreamcast tucked away on the off chance of finding a keyboard and mouse to make Linux possible on it. It's got a {Telecom approved} modem plugged into it). | Graham L (2) | ||
| 369125 | 2005-07-04 04:29:00 | Well you used to have to buy a "Net Starter Pack" which basically was just a big chunky ethernet adapter which attatched to the back of the large (old) PS2 units but as the slim ones come with a built in ethernet port I guess it kind of makes the pack redundant... Like Graham says - just plug it in and see what happens - if you've got DHCP running I guess it would just use the IP it is supplied. As for configuration... No idea? |
