Can't connect ps2 to network

[OfFPiR]

Hi there i got a network problem.
The FTP server doesnt work for me.
I start up the ftp program and it says: FTP server started on port 21
looks ok but when i try to access it with my pc it doesn't connect
if i try to ping the ip it says: command timed out
i connected my ps2 directly to my pc using a crossover cable (the green light lights up if i connect the cable)
my ps2 ip is 162.168.10 (default) i use another for my pc like 192.168.0.22
i use FileZilla as FTP program
is there anyone who can help me

thnx

change your PC IP to 192.168.0.1
Or:
change the CONFIG.DAT file located in the same folder as ExecFTP.

If u had looked carefully to your TV screen when u booted up the FTP server it will prolly have showd u this:

PS2 IP : 192.168.0.10
SUBNET : 255.255.255.0
GATEWAY: 192.168.0.1

(open up with notepad)

read my tutorial for matrix infinity. (link is in my signature)
it has info on the FTP server as well at the bottom.

if u had used google u prolly would have seen this sumwhere:

- ExecFTPs reads information from CONFIG.DAT (located in same folder as ExecFTPs.ELF or
mc0:/BOOT/EXECFTPS/
mc0:/EXECFTPS/
mc0:/SYS-CONF/
mc0:/SYS-CONF/IPCONFIG.DAT)
This file contains net information. (mode-setting is now removed..always tries with MC+HD)

CONFIG.DAT requires one line looking like this:

192.168.0.10 255.255.255.0 192.168.0.1

(First param is PS2-ip, second is netmask, third is Gateway IP.)

be sure that the first three numbers (192.168.0) are the same on ps2 and pc
only the last number must be different on pc and ps2
e.g. use 192.168.0.1 for your pc and 192.168.0.2 for your ps2

EDIT: i'm still too slow with my posts

lolol, i just hopped in on the right time.

I allready have a config file with
192.168.0.10 255.255.255.0 192.168.0.1
so I need to change the pc ip to 192.168.0.1? is that the gateway IP? if i connect it directly to the pc?
i'll try it

Still can't connect i added some screenshots so maybe u can see something I'm doing wrong (my windows is dutch)

Try to change your PC-IP to 192.168.0.2 and use 192.168.0.1 for your "Standaard-gateway" (third row) and the "Voorkeurs-DNS-server" (4. row).

In Filezilla type in your PS2's IP (192.168.0.10) in the Address field and port 21 in the Port field. Then it should connect.

BTW, better use LaunchELF. It has build-in FTP support and is much more stable than ExecFTP. To start the FTP-server in LaunchELF you have to assign a button to "MISC/PS2NET".

If you just want to transfer files, try the "host" function of LaunchELF, which lets you browse your PC from the PS2. (the other direction than using FTP)

If you want to backup your saves, then I recommend to use LaunchELF and "host" with the "mcPaste"-command, since transfering via FTP can corrupt your saves!

THnx for the replies all Appriciated
jah it's pretty buggy somethimes I das to copy something several times to get it right, but I'm glad it works and now I don't have to burn CDRs all the time or connect HDD to pc

Did you try LaunchELF? That should work better.
I use the host function most of the time and it works great. No need to copy things several times.
