Dan6061 Posted May 22, 2005 Report Share Posted May 22, 2005 I'm trying to connect my PS2 to the net with my network adaptor i bought for christmas. I have brought my PS2 etc downstairs to the pc and have connected one end of the cable to the network adapter and the other to the LAN port on the back of my PC. Is this right? I have put the network access disc in the PS2 and when it trys to detect the hardware it says "cable not connected properly" I have no idea what to do. an anyone help?

Tomm Posted May 22, 2005 Report Share Posted May 22, 2005 You probably need a crossover cable? If you don't know what that is, you've probably got the wrong thing... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan6061 Posted May 22, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2005 (edited) what do you mean by "got the wrong thing"? and i do have a crossover cable. it comes with the adaptor Edited May 22, 2005 by Dan6061 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomturd Posted May 22, 2005 Report Share Posted May 22, 2005 Erm, have you got a router? Or does the internet go straight into the back of your PC? Im guessing if you have a router, you need to plug it into there, or if you dont you need to unplug the computer from the modem, and connect the PSX to the modem. Possibly.. >_< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan6061 Posted May 22, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2005 I have the aol modem you get with he broadband package...do you mean I should plug that into the PS2 with the usb ports on the front of it? i'm really confused about this. I've put it all back to my room now but please keep posting so i can do it in the future (tomorrow >_< ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomm Posted May 22, 2005 Report Share Posted May 22, 2005 No - Leave the modem where it is. AOL sucks. USB modems suck. Anyway. Apart from that it stil should work. Can you "bridge connections" between the ethernet (what you plugged the crossover cable into on your PC) and the usb modem? >_< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spikenipple Posted May 22, 2005 Report Share Posted May 22, 2005 Can you "bridge connections" between the ethernet (what you plugged the crossover cable into on your PC) and the usb modem? >_< ← Nope. If you've connected the PS2 to the PC's lan port, how have you connected the modem to the PC? (Via USB?) If your PC is saying 'Cable Not Connected Properly' on a crossover, that means that you need to use a non-crossover cable, or connect them together via an auto-crossover router/hub.
