Then you need an "IPCONFIG.DAT" file, as the program falls back on internal defaults without it (as does most PS2 networking software).

You can create it, as you already guessed.

Sure you can, assuming that you have some way of uploading it even if your networking isn't working right now...

The correct location and filename is:
"mc0:/SYS-CONF/IPCONFIG.DAT"

The content can be a single text line, looking appx like this:
"192.168.10.10 255.255.255.0 192.168.10.1"

The quote characters should not be included of course, and there should be a normal CRLF line ending at the end (such as normally used by notepad). The values shown in my example are what I use myself, with "192.168.10.10" being the PS2, and "192.168.10.1" being my router. Two PCs are also on the same net, but their IPs don't need to be in the file when a router acts as gateway, even though both of them can communicate with the PS2.

But if you have no router, then it is the IP of the PC directly connected to the PS2 that should be last on the line.

Btw:
uLaunchELF contains a special configuration submenu for editing the values of "IPCONFIG.DAT", so you may find that useful.

I don't know for sure what the maximum is, and I don't think it really matters. The important thing is the average transfer rate, which for me comes to appx 2 MB/s. It can vary between 1.9 and 2.1, but seldom goes outside that range.

nice work boys......thanx for the info.......im now going to do some work and some testing.

hi again..........i have been able to make a IPCONFIG.DAT file with uLaunchELF and saved it...... i tested it and it works with a Crossover cable no problemo which is great..... but when i try get it to connect to my NetGear FS105 5 Port Switch it wont connect.

is it possible to connect PS2 to a Switch and UL isos with HDLdumx ??

I can do it with the setup I described earlier, where the router is an old Netgear RT314. I'm not sure about your 'port switch' though, but I suspect it's merely a configuration issue.

dlanor thanx for all your help man....your mini Tutorial was sweet......im gonna use the Crossover method and work on the Hub/Switch later......

thanx again man
