maniacal - I wasn't the one stating that you could know your ps2 ip address by looking in the configuration screens of the ps2, I think that was Lucky 7, maybe he could tell you - I have never looked for it, because I can find the address in the router/firewall screens. You should be able to configure this though without dealing with the ps2 configuration screens, by following my directions from prior.


karmagic - if you have to you can leave the ip address 192.168.0.1 for a 192.168.0.x network. make the subnet mask 255.255.255.0, just in case you have multiple devices that you may want. I was only getting into changing the IP address of the firewall/router if you needed to do more advanced things. There is a screen on dlink where you can configure the IP address of the device. Basically, the default CAN be changed. Make sure that you set the IP portion for DHCP/ dynamic IP. The best way to configure the d link router is to delete all the DMZ stuff and get rid of the other access ports firewall configuration and just go with configuring the virtual server portion. Open up port 6869 tcp/udp from the PS2 ip address (which you can find in the status screens, I believe, search around, the ip address is around there somewhere, can't remember off hand) and when it says destination address place an * there. You can also place an * for the source address as well. This means any thing on my LAN behind my firewall (*) can access anything on the internet using port 6869 - remember virtual server is the easiest way other than doing the DMZ thing. If this doesn't work out, you may need to upgrade the firmware and try the configuration again.
