no, nothing that would interfere with the DNAS.. nothing at all.

Well try when the button is red hold it in for five seconds and let go. If any DNAS errors happen to me thats what I do and alot of the time it works.

Here are answers to some of your questions
__________________________________________________ __________

IP Address:

you can either assign a static LAN IP address to your PS2 or you can put it on auto so your computer/router assigns it.
__________________________________________________ __________
First time trying to get online:

You cant simply put the socom 2 disk in and go online straight away you need to go on central station and setup you handle and connetion
__________________________________________________ __________
Patch Problem:

If you are having the problem with the patch where it says you need to download it over and over again it probably means that it doesnt agree with your socom 2 save. delete the socom 2 save off the memory card then download the patch again. I had the save problem it works fine now.

yes corrupt data does affect getting online
__________________________________________________ __________
DNAS:

DNAS is the process which checks for third party hardware " mod chips " or cheat codes.

you will not be able to get online if you fail the test.
__________________________________________________ __________
If you Join a game and are unable to control:

this probably means you got disconnected at some point either on purpose because you can change user faster or not and logged on again. you will need to re-start your PS2 - with the new patch it doesnt like being disconnected.
__________________________________________________ __________
If you are having problems with joining games or talking it probably means you have to open ports:

you must open UDP ports 6000-6999 (UDP) to the IP address of your Playstation( It would be a good idea to make it a static IP ) for the headset and TCP 10070-10080 UDP 10070-10070 for the connection.

Look at your router manual at how to do this.
__________________________________________________ __________

*This has to be the cheapest and easiest method of getting online

If you want to connect through a laptop\computer directly from the PS2 you will need:

A patch crossover cable

A spare ethernet network card in your PC for connecting the PS2 to

Internet sharing setup on that machine

* If it is not the main network machine supplying the internet you will need to Bridge the two network's on your laptop/computer
then go in controll panel > network settings highlight the two networks and bridge and you should now be able to go online with your PS2 if not you may need ports open on your laptop or main network machine.

IP Range:

It is a good idea to setup an IP range of allowed IP's on your firewall, most people have a range of 192.168.0.0 to 192.168.???.???

Hope this guide helped you, I know a lot more than this but I cant be bothered to type it up ask me instead on msn XGLRIP@gmail.com

Try deleting all socom 2 related stuff of your memory card or format your memory card and then download the patch.

Have you recently made changes to the way your ps2 gets online?

Did you try re-starting your PS2


Getting shooter fix off halo 2 what you going on about ?

Good luck... dont you think that Avatar is a bit too big

^^That was just a bit off topic, but now back to it

**Try to delete all your socom settings: By this I mean go to where you log on and delete that. Now, go in and make a whole new one, and, if you haven't incripted a hard IP number, I strongly suggest that you do. There are other things there along with IP number but I can't remember right offhand. There should be 3 there, IP being one of them. Make a hard code for ALL if you can. PM me if you have trouble getting a IP number to work or something, I had a similar problem not to long ago[/u]

incripted an IP

lol you have no idea what you are talking about ! you cant even spell Encrypt

any way...
If you are on a home network its easiest having your router/computer setup to automatically assign each machine on the network with an IP.

I should have mentioned before... you have to make sure your firewall isnt blocking IP's on your home network. it is a good idea to set a range of allowed IP's for your network.

most people use a range like is 192.168.0.0 to 192.168.???.???

I am not a person that spends time spell checking for a site forum. I am sorry if this bothered you or something, but that is what you need to do. A "Hard IP" means to go in and manualy select an IP number that you will always use when logging on and playing. 192.168.2.** is a hard IP number. Go to your log in settings and change it. Don't listen to the dumb****.

Oh, and you got my quote wrong (Dumba$$)
