Router help PLEASE!

I did the following steps correctly for my netgear router:

2. NETGEAR Router Mic Fix (credit: Incision)

Ok, I bought another router for my bedroom that is attached to my other router downstairs. I set it all up and found that the router did not let me use the mic. At first I was like ****, but I read up a little and tried something since I could not find my PS2s IP since I only have one cord to share with my PS2 and PC at the moment. So what I did was:

1. Go into Socom 3 and at the network menu before you sign on you can edit your connection. Click edit connection and go through until you see the IP settings and It will say Auto or Manual.

2. Hit manual and it will show IP, Subnet, and Router. Fill in like this:
IP - 192.168.1.40 (does not have to be 40 but I suggest it)
Subnet - 255.255.255.0
Router - 192.168.1.1

Note: If you are not useing a Netgear router you may need the IPs to be 192.168.0.1

3. Next you will see DNS Primary and Secondary. For Primary just put your Router IP from the previous step. And leave Secondary blank.

4. It will then have you test it and if It doesnt work redo the previous steps. If the test works then you are done with the PS2 settings.

5. Now open Internet Explorer on your Computer and type it 192.168.1.1 (If you have a non-Netgear router it may be 192.168.0.1) and on the side you will have Wan Setup or something similar. Click it.

6. Now in Wan Setup you will have a section for DMZ and it will not be checked and there will be four boxs next to it. [192] [169] [1] [_]. Check the box on the left side. Then the first three boxes will be grayed out and you can't edit them. Then in the final box put 40. The 40 is from the IP setting you set to your PS2 in step. Remeber if you did not use 40, then use the number you did use.

7. Apply those settings and then you are done. You should be able to use your mic online. If it does not work you either did a step wrong or your router is not the problem.

I hope this helped you all! Good luck!

After this I did my connection test and it was successful, but everytime I tried to log in I kept getting an error message of Network Error (-612) noresponse from DNS server check network configuration.

can anyone help because I hate playing this game without a functioning mic.

Considering you only have on ethernet cable running from the second rotuer to the computer, and the ps2, you might need to do a little guess and check. Go to the second routers configuration screen on your computer, open the ports starting with the IP address ending with a 1. If that doesn't work, try 2, then 3. I can almost bet you, however, it would be the 2.

Then, set all your network config back to auto, and it should work. If not, then re-post in here and ill tell ya to do something else.

Hey maybe you can help me as well. I posted in the sticky above, but I don't know that anyone is looking at that anymore. Anyway, I just bought a Netgear WGR614v6 router and I also followed the router fixes in the sticky to a "T". My mic still will not work.
I have been fighting with Netgear "tech support" for two days now and they say to call Sony. I call Sony they say to call Netgear lol. I opened a bunch of ports I was told to open, I disabled the firewall for the router, I have DMZ enabled...blah blah. Nothing. If it helps I am running windows xp on my pc and I have wireless internet through Clearwire. My mic and game run fine If i'm pluggin in directly to the modem, but through the router my mic doesn't work.
Any Ideas? Thanks

Lets see, when you use your router. Make sure you OPEN ALL PORTS. Which means like 1-35000 or so. This will make it much easier for hackers to get to your computer, but if you have virus protection enabled then you should be fine. When opening the ports, make sure you have the correct IP address. This will mean having too figure out what IP your PS2 has. You can do this by hitting the attacted devices on your router and using the one that does not have a name.

Next, you will want to click WAN settings. You will then want to make sure your router will not Connect Automatically, As required. THis will make the need for you computer to try and get the internet, before the router will connect to the internet.

Next hit the "router status" link on the left. This will bring you to a screen that has two buttons on the bottom. Hit the one labeled "Connection Status", this will pop-up a window. You will thenhave to hit "Release", then "Renew". This should work. If it doesn't send me a PM and I will work with you to get it to work.

Well, my question to you is:
Has the mic ever worked for you?
If not, make sure you don't have a private IP address. If you do, your ISP will essentially block incoming connections with (roughly) 4 firewalls. Your mic uses port 80 (for mine at least, should be about the same for all but who knows/cares), and your ISP will block it. So, if you know that this is not the case, then ignore me, but if you don't: Might as well find out.
One way you could do this is to call your ISP, or look at you IP. Back when mine was a private IP, i had a really high number at the start, like 237.x.x.x, now i have a lower number, and so do all the people i know with a public IP. Im not saying you should quote me on this though:)
Hope things work out,
