um yes, I know this! when the heck did I say it stood for C:???

of course it doesnt, it's just the share name!

[barf]

That is where most people make the mistake...

[broodje]

relax lol :P

[flamingo24]

no hard feelings barf, accually I should thank you since I never made it clear in my earlier post that C was the share name


samba.xml

<shares>


	<share>
		<name>network (samba)</name>
		<path>smb://SAMBA/C/</path>
	</share>

</shares>

______________________________________________________________

network (samba) = label that will appear in the myps2 browser

smb://SAMBA/ = computer name* (changable) or computers IP address

C/ = share name of the folder on the network (changable)

*=not workgroup (side note on workgroup it is changeable in both myps2 and windows)

lmhosts

127.0.0.1      localhost = loop ip address 
192.168.1.1    router = default gateway address
192.168.1.100  SAMBA = computer IP/computer name (changable)
192.168.1.110  PS2 = PS2 IP address

make sure that you set the proper promissions on any firewalls you may have installed this includes the Windows XP firewall if enabled. there is no username or password.

I hope this comes to some use in further helping others make use of the networking capabilities of myps2.

thanks, guide updated.

Please help me defining the Workgroup , as i find no mention of it anywhere, and myps2 keeps on saying "parsing 0 shares from .xml file then i get that GUI error ...

(Updated). The content of docs folder was empty, and my ps2 was not connected to my lan. now everything works, except the Share, but i'll figure it out, thanks ;-)

Something is not 100% in your config, I had that same problem,
however I only remember correcting the config file...

To see which problems I had in the beginning please look at my first post in this thread.

Hello,

My other LAN computers does not see my Computer after I disabled the "NetBios over TCP IP" in the Wins.

Ok, MyPS2 can see the shares, but not my other computer ..

Do you have any workaround for being able to use Samba AND Workgroup browsing from other computers ?

I am thinking about creating a hosts entry for each computer, but their ip is dynamic ..

Any help would be appreciated.

hello all

wondering if anyone can help, ive followed the instructions and have my config.dat altered, it runs through the checks fine then i get a screen up to create a myps2 partition.
the problem is i assume there should be a yes or no option but it isnt displayed and pressing any button doesnt do anything.

if it makes any difference i am running launchelf 3.70 from dev1 dms3 to boot off of the hdd partition +APPZ/MYPS2/

many thanks

Hi,

When i load up MyPS2 everything is OK until it asks for me to create a new partition. Problem lies in that I cannot select Yes/OK or what ever it is as I cant see it

any suggestions?

hmm, the box is made up of the "dialog_background.png" & "select.png" the yes' and the no' + other texts is taken from the english.xml directed by the dlg_partition1.xml & dlg_partition2.xml...I'm assuming you are both using the default skin so I am posting up some replacement files you can replace with these files posted and see if this solves the problem...

Archive Contains:

language
media
pal

re/place files in the corresponding folders...

[nosniktap]

Many thanks for your time

I have replaced the language folder with the one in ur archive but i had no "pal" or "media" folders there, however i added these two folders in and still get the same problem? :-(

[flamingo24]

do you by chance have hdcombo/hdconnect? If so the problem is that myps2 probably doesn?t have support for these ide modifications at this time

[nosniktap]

no i dont have that, i have a v7 dms3, booting ulaunchelf from dev1 myps2 is on hdd

this might be a long shot but did you look in +APPZ/MYPS2/skins/default/ for those folders?

Ok, so I've put myPS2 v1.2 on my hard drive, partition named "Data3" (so the hdd config line says hdd0:+Data3), in a directory named myPS2 (/myPS2/).

I browse to the directory with uLaunchELF and run MYPS2.ELF... and get a black screen. It doesn't matter how long I wait, it just stays black.

As a thought of maybe a corrupt file, I re-extracted the entire archive, unmodified (not even the config file) to my USB stick. Then, with uLaunchELF, I browsed to the USB key and launched the elf again.. exact same thing: a black screen and nothing else.

What's up? :-/

Perhaps it's related, but.. I can't list files with ExecFTP. I changed to uLaunchELF because it had an ftp server that worked. Even with launchelf, though, I can't _make_ a directory.. it reports success, but the directory doesn't exist. This despite a HD change (and thus format and such) and redoing my MC exploit multiple times. I'm just not seeing the problem.. (I've also changed MC's, PS2 units, removed the HD completely and tried ftp with MC only.. the _only_ common piece was the network adapter.)

Well.. give me thoughts :-/

*Update:
Well, by combining odd search terms I got 7 matches on google, one of which said: I needed to use an unpacked myPS2 elf with my version of uLaunchELF (3.48). Course, I didn't realize I had such an old version, so I upgraded and now I don't need the unpacked version. All works just great :-D now if only it looked better and stretched to cover the screen :-/ it looks best in NTSC-JP..

I'm having an issue with myPS2 1.2 on HDD. I'm using DMS 4 PRO with ToxicOS 0.41. I've followed this guide perfectly. Only trouble is, it boots up, loads the XML GUI for skins, then I get a new screen that says it's still loading. It stays there forever! What's going on? It's so frustrating... So close, yet so far. Please help!

[barf]

When you have such questions, why not paste the content of your xml files here?

[Ettornio]

Oh, right. Sorry about that. Here you go.

I am very sure I am doing something wrong with the Samba settings. My bro did all the SMB stuff for the xbox, so I am totally clueless. I would like the PS2 to access c:\x\ because that's where all of my multimedia stuff is. I'm fairly sure the SMB has no password. I checked the xbox's SMB settings and there seems to be no password needed.

I'm using a V10 NTSC PS2 with a romeo mod, Official 40GB Sony HDD (FFXI Kit), DMS 4 PRO with ToxicOS 0.41. Adjust the settings above appropriately, please. Thanks!
