PS2 LAN Game setup

This is what I have discovered so far.It can be done with some games
instructions:
1)Go to network setup
2)ADD SETTING
3) Select the network adaptor(SCE/ethernet)
4)Now in the Ip adress select manual configuration.Use 169.254.149.xxx(i.e 169.254.149.01).Then netmask 1.2.3.4(For every Ps2 in the LAN).Then Default Gateway(router in US) 0.0.0.1.
5)Save & wait
6)Use the other ps2.DO the same and for Ip add 1(i.e 169.254.149.02..3...4..etc)
7)Test.
It has been reported to work with routers,hubs,and switches so if you manage to do post.

Games that reported working is
ATV Offroad Fury 2
ATV Offroad Fury 3
SOCOM Navy Seals 2
Tribes; Aerial Assault
Twisted Metal Black:
Midnight Club 2
Timesplitters 2
Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3
Tony Hawk Pro Skater 4
Conflict Zone
Star Wars: Battlefront
MTX : MOTOTRAX
Timesplitter 3: Perfect Future
ToCa Race Driver 2
Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow
Armoured Core: Nexus
Burnout3

P.S:I should not get credit of this.I am just using the info I have found around because I am so sure if posting a link to another sites is againist the Forums policy.I hope I was helpfull.

I have had no problems setting up a LAN... using my default settings... but my friend has the same router and his settings are the similar....

for use with a router I suggest using the routers IP and set PS2 to 101, 102,103,... ect

gateway should still be 255.255.255.0...

this is an odd setup... as long as it works though....

So you did manage to play ps2 game in LAN and OFFLINE(without being connected to a online server)?Because this is the whole point.If so could you please share the game title.

How does someone know that this game is working? It look like it's still in develoment right now because release date is 03/15/05 in North America. Did I miss something?

The release date is not the date everyone gets a game.There are beta or preview releases circlulated on the underground.I really do not know this game but seen it reported working in a site so can't tell you for sure.

This is not news for me since I played such "unreleased" games few times. However I didn't hear anything about that game's "release". Timesplitters 3 is definitely not one of low-budget unknown projects, my friend is waiting it for long time. Nearly half year ago We played Timesplitters 2 together but via iLink connection.

Moreover I confused about Burnout 3 listed here. I don't see LAN game option in this game. Is it really possible to play it as LAN game without being connected to Internet ? I doubt it because Burnout 3 wants to connect to the DNAS server and then connect to the EA server.

I have little experience in LAN gaming cause the only game I played such way was Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4. But I still have no idea about such 'weird' network settings. To play Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4 we just used standart LAN so our console were connected via 2 UTP cat.5 cables and 10/100 Switch. Ip addresses was 192.168.1.1 and 192.168.1.2, netmask was 255.255.255.0

I believe it's possible to play Tony Hawk's Underground, Socom 2 and Timesplitters 2 with similar settings because there are "LAN game" options in that games.

If you are using a router, just set it to DHCP... unless you have the router's DHCP server disabled. Otherwirse it should be assigned an IP automatically. You might have to set the gateway though. Which is usually 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1 depending on the router.

I will post the url I found that info.If it goes againist site policy I would ask a moderator to delete the post with my dearest apologies. :)
