also...i heard that if you use the original socom headset it causes glitches and "viruses" is this true? and everyone else notice the glitch where you can't talk to everyone at all times in the game? like everyone can't hear bob and you can so they ask you what he is saying...and then it switches to everyone can hear bob but not john! and it has nothing to do with mute because we've already verified that....it gets really annoying...its as if socom can;t handle 8 people all having mikes on one team....

the reason your voice sounds like a robot is because you have the voice mod on.
when you play online,while your playing, press the start button and turn voice moderator off.
that should help.

I followed the steps that Luck 7 said buT when I got to "Port Forwarding" there is no where to type in the port #. Plus mines just say "Forwarding" not "Port Forwarding".

I was having the same problems, and it took a few steps. First of all, go into your router ip address (192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1 most likely). Then, type in admin for the password, no username.

Click on the advanced settings tab in the upper right hand corner. Then click on the forwarding tab. Scroll down to the bottom of the screen and click on the "View Port Range Forwarding"

Type in a name on the top line underneath Customized Applications, something like PS2. Set the "Ext Port" to "6869 to 6869" Check both the Protocal TCP and Protocal UDP boxes. Then enter in an ip address for the PS2, where the first three fields would be identical to your routers first field (meaning if your router is 192.168.1.1 then the ip address you assign your PS2 would begin with 192.168.1.xxx) Give it a high number something like 200. Check the enable box to the right.

Click apply and make sure it says changes made or something to that effect.

Now, load your network adaptor disk into your PS2, and go into settings, and click on the file you saved your network settings. Click on set network id, or something like that, and enter in the ip address you put in for your ps2 above, (192.168.1.200) or whatever you entered. Save it.

Okay, almost there, ip address in the playstation is set, the router is configured to open the port, but now you need to update your firmware. Despite saying linksys, the router is really a network everywhere and you can find the firmware update at there website

www.networkeverywhere.com

click on the support tab, click on your router, (NR041). Click on firmware upgrade, it will relocate the screen down, and then you need to click where it says "click here for the latest..."

Read the readme file, follow the instructions, upgrade your firmware, (note if your ps2 is online at the time, it will lose its connection)

All these things should take care of the problem it took care of mine. There were a few other things i did but i won't get into them as they probably didnt make too much of a difference but if anyone else is having trouble with this particular router, go ahead and post and i will be glad to offer any more help

What about the Linksys Router BEFSR41 Version 3? It's simliar to the Linksys mentioned above, but just can't get it to work. Anyone have this one at home?

socomkilla · 01-08-2004

OK PEOPLE, I HAD DONE SOME RESEARCH ABOUT NON WORKING MIC ONLINE. I'VE GOT A LOGITECH MIC, WESTELL MODEM AND LINKSYS ROUTER. MY PROBLEM WAS THAT THE MIC WORKED IN SINGLE-PLAYER BUT IT DIDN'T WORK ONLINE. I DISCONNECTED MY ROUTER AND CONNECTED DIRECTLY TO MY DSL MODEM. TO MY SUPRISE, STILL NOTHING. HERE IS WHAT YOU DO.

GO DOWNLOAD THE LATEST FIRMWARE FOR YOUR MODEM ( http://www.fastaccess.drivers.bellsouth.net/ ) AND YOUR MIC SHOULD WORK, CAUSE IT WORKED FOR ME.

THEN I SET UP MY LINKSYS BEFSR41 ROUTER. HERE IS WHAT YOU DO:

I SUGGEST ALSO DOWNLOADING LATEST FIRMWARE FOR THE ROUTER. THEN GO TO COMMAND PROMPT AND TYPE: "IPCONFIG /ALL" THIS WILL GIVE YOU INFORMATION FOR YOUR PS2. RECORD, SUBNET MASK, DEFAULT GATEWAY, AND DNS SERVER.

THEN GO TO YOUR LINKSYS SETUP PAGE, 192.168.1.1 (WHERE YOU TYPE admin FOR PASS). CLICK ADVANCED, FORWARDING, THEN CHECK TCP AND UDP AND ENABLE. THEN TYPE 3658 TO 3658 FOR EXT. PORT (I THINK YOU CAN ALSO USE 6869 TO 6869). IP ADDRESS IS 192.168.1.200 AND CLICK APPLY. THEN GO TO DMZ HOST AND TYPE THE SAME IP, 192.168.1.200, CLICK APPLY.

FIRE UP YOUR PS2 WITH S2 AND GO TO NETWORK CONFIG. DO MANUAL SETUP, IP IS 192.168.1.200 AND THE REST INFO YOU GET FROM "IPCONFIG /ALL". ENTER 1ST DNS SERVER, BUT LEAVE THE SECOND BLANK. SAVE THE SETTINGS AND YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO USE THE MIC ONLINE.

HOPE THIS WORKS FOR YOU AS IT WORKED FOR ME, YOU'LL SAVE YOURSELF SOME HEADEACHE. LEAVE ME FEEDBACK IF THIS HELPED.

PEACE. HOPEFULLY I'LL KILL YOU WHEN I SEE YOU ONLINE, I'M: XMAN911
