Black Ops LAN Question

[Trance]

I've been trying to figure out how to get 2x Playstations (one of them JB) to play 4-way Zombies over LAN. It plays Zombies fine in split-screen, but I can't get them to recognize each other when I want to join/create game.

Any suggestions?

first of all i want to tell you that you cannot do 4 players in lan with 2 ps3s, you will need atleast 3 because in black ops it will only let one ps3 have 2 people on it (split screen). they other consoles can only have one person.
in multiplayer however, you can do 2 people per console.

BUT if you get on psn you can create a lobby with 2 people and invite the other ps3 on psn also with 2 players on zombies

I have 5 ps3s and do lans a lot using them.
make sure all the games are the correct region and make sure they are all on the same patch.
If one of the ps3 cannot recognise the host, try hosting on the other ps3 and see if that one can find the game.

Thanks Viper,

I understand what you mean. I haven't had any success for the last five days to get LAN to work. I didn't much care to get on PSN to play with other people, but I guess I'll have to keep researching. So far this community has a ton of material to offer and its much appreciated.

I was thinking of experimenting with XLink Kai, but I didn't realize they used LAN to play with other people across the country/internationally. I'm thinking I need to get another wireless router with two PCs to connect both Playstations. And I really don't feel like going that route.

I am going to try this posted by n3xclusiv3z [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tTCSQODa9c0&t=11m50s]YouTube - Easiest way to install Blackops! Online Play![/ame]

Thanks again for the quick response.
