OPL and PS2 are eating my nerves, help please?

**semso** · 01-05-2011,05:57 PM

Hello guys, i need a big help with opl, i have slim ps2 scph 70004 modded(i dont know what chip is it),5 years old laser is working sometimes,sometimes not,, with mcbt and opl on memory card i tried 0.7 and 0.8 versions but none is working i have both the crossover cable and switch. I tryed usb to and it run fine(exept mass loading), but problem is over network i tryed using varios guides but none is helping me. On crossover cable i had my static IP:
IP 192.168.0.29,
subnet 255....

gateway 192.168.0.1
Changed gateway to 192.168.0.29 on ps2 and pc (yeah i am running on windows 7), and on ps2 192.168.0.10, and etc. Tryed to ping but ps2 ip but nothing. in 0.7 it freezes at 2, and in 0.8 it give me control over ps2 but no games are showing. Sharing folder is PS2SMB shered to all and everything, and i dont have or use, a firewall for 4 years, windows firewall turend off on everything. After that all i tryed with swtich, but same as above, first with no static ip, but then with static ip-s, nothing,changed all setings exept folder(yeah games are ripped and turned in that wierd format with USBUtil, no patching). And i have a wireless internet connection over usb stick.
Please help if someone know how....

try a normal patch lead when using a switch. you only need a crossover if you go direct from PS2 to PC. if you cant ping it then nothing will work.

First, we need to understand your "network structure" before we can really give you good advice on the proper use of the IP assigning.

If your "switch" is connecting the PS2 / PC FROM a router, then only one of those devices can use the IP assigned by the router. The router can not assign 2 IPs to a single connection, as a switch constitutes a single connection.

If your "switch" is connecting the PS2 / router FROM the PC, then you need to enable "bridging" in your PC's Network configurations.

We need to know how/what is connected and then it will become much easier to help find the solution.

What is "mcbt", a modchip?

What is patch lead? I was able to ping it only once, and that time,most time with crossover, on PC it showed that no cable is connected, but when i go with ulaunchELF and go to host, then it show connection, but i can do nothing or i dont know what to do then?
Sorry mcbt is wrongly writhen for fmcb.

I have a USB stick for WLAN, which is my internet connection and IP for it is 192.168.1.xxx, so i never use that for ps2 as static. I have 1 ethernet\lan port. First i tried to use crossover cable, but all that configurations and no results have eaten my nerves so i go and buy 2 ethernet cables and switch, but no results then again.

By "patch lead" he meant a normal straight ethernet LAN cable, as opposed to the cross-connected one that you are using.

A cross-connected cable is only appropriate for connecting directly between two end-point LAN ports, such as for a direct connection from the PS2 LAN port to a PC LAN port. For all other cases it is better to use a 'straight' cable.

So if you are using a router or switch unit, then both the PC and the PS2 should use straight cables for connection to that unit.

Some routers/switches have the ability to adapt so that either type of cable may be used, but if you don't know this to be the case you should follow the simple rule stated above.

Thank you dlanor, i have 2 patch leads or UTp cables for connection between pc,swtich,ps2, and one crossover for direct between pc and pc2

Ok i am trying and now connected with crossover to ps2 trough uluanchELF, then filebrowser/host, and in my local area connection it says unidentified network, but that is farthest i go...

This is not entirely true.
Atleast when I connect my Switch to the WAN-Port of my router, it is also able to give those devices an IP 'per DHCP'.

I can't envision quite what kind of hookup you are going for here, as the WAN-port is normally connected only to whatever hardware connects you to your ISP, whether that be an ADSL-modem or (as in my case) an ethernet interface/converter driving the fiber-optic LAN connection to my ISP, or whatever other ISP connection you use.

Connecting a local switch to the WAN-port of a router is not something you should normally do.
How then do you connect your ISP stuff ?

And if several LAN units are connected together with the router's WAN port and the ISP connector, all connected to the same switch, then it is not the router which assigns IP addresses to the other units, but some ISP equipment which does it. (The WAN port of your router acts only as DHCP client, in contacting the DHCP server of your ISP.)

But any decent router will have the ability to assign multiple IP addresses by DHCP to units connected to its LAN ports, and will transparently handle so-called 'IP masquerade' of their traffic with the ISP, translating between local IPs and the one IP assigned to the router by the DHCP server of the ISP. This works the same way regardless of whether the local IPs are set as static or assigned by the local DHCP server in the router.

But whatever you really meant, I think we have strayed quite far from the original topic of this thread, into an area of no interest to the original poster...

The router I've used was a 'speedport w700v' and it's LAN1-Connection also is labeled as 'WAN' (I'm not sure, if it DHCP also works for my switch, if it is connected to another LAN-Connection of my router).

I have an extra-connection labeled DSL, or similar.
This was connected to my 'splitter', which fed the DSL-Connection (ADSL2+) into the 'telephone-line' (forgott the word for it).

But you're right, it is a way off-topic.
I just had to correct an answer, which wasn't entirely the truth.
