An Easy LAN Setup

Marine702 · 08-26-2004

For all you Killers out there who have 2 PS2's, SOCOM II, and TV's if you wanted to connect them for a LAN game, here is what worked for me. I have done this so that all my fellow Marines here in Morocco can have some practice before you hardcore players kill them online!!

1. Make sure you have your CAT5 CROSSOVER cable properly plugged
in the NETWORK ADAPTER.

2. Make sure that both PS2's have downloaded the "Patch", as if you had
just purchased the game and went online, save it to your memory
card.

3. On the MAIN MENU select the LAN feature, then EDIT SETTINGS and
then CREATE SETTING.

4. Then go to the IP ADDRESS portion of the set up screen and enter
the following for the 1st PS2:
IP ADDRESS: 10. 10. 10. 1
SUBNET MASK: 255. 255. 255. 0
ROUTER: 10. 10. 10. 1

5. The 2nd PS2's settings shoud be as follows:
IP ADDRESS: 10. 10. 10. 2
SUBNET MASK: 255. 255. 255. 0
ROUTER: 10. 10. 10. 2

6. To test the connection both PS2's must press X at the SAME time to
test the connection! It will then say it is successful!

7. Now all that is left is to create a game, load up, and send some rounds
down range!!

There you have it, real easy! Now remember what LtGen Chesty Puller
said, " You don't hurt em, if you dont hit em"

Marine702, over and out!

Thanks for the info, that could be really helpful sometime.

Any time Da Killa! I have had great advice from great people here, so I must share anything that may help out my fellow players!

GOod job, up to how many can you connect together, 16?

Marine702 · 08-27-2004

This is only for 2 Playstation 2's. If you know how to use a router or a hub, all you need to do is change the LAST NUMBER of the IP ADDRESS & ROUTER up by one. Like if you connect a 3rd & 4th PS2 the 3rd PS2 would have and IP ADDRESS & ROUTER number of 10.10.10.3 The 4th PS2 would be configured to 10.10.10.4 If you have any questions email me at Marine_702@yahoo.com

I've had a lan game before with 5 of my friends but we had to have 6 TVS!! Anyone know what you need to get in order to play on 1 Tv with four playstations?? (So the screen is split four ways)
