pr1mo · 17-03-2005, 08:18 AM

hmm ok so it looks liek nate, osprey, tublade and myself are in so far. thats enough people to keep things fun! who has the highest upload? ive only got 128. 256 would be rad 512 even better. has everyone got their PS2 networked in some way with their PC and the xlink software installed?

cheers mike

Hey pr1mo, it's kthl here from the au.playstation.com forums.

I'll check on my XLink config tonight. I have a 1500/256 ADSL connection.

pr1mo · 17-03-2005, 11:07 AM

o man that would be great. looks like we may almost have a full house! do you think 256 will be ok for hosting upto 5 or so drivers?

Nate · 17-03-2005, 11:37 AM

i have the networky thingo installed ... but i dont have gt4 ... so whats the go ... i really dont know what ot do with the damn thing ... BTW i have unlimited cable ... 512 upload i think

pr1mo · 17-03-2005, 11:44 AM

hey nate, sounds good! you will need a copy of GT4 and you will need to network your PC and PS2 together which can be done cheaply in a variety of ways. please let me know how your going to do it and ill help you out as best i can

cheers mike

Nate · 17-03-2005, 02:19 PM

im with telstra ... i have the PS2 plugged straight into the the router at the moment cause there was a spare spot

pr1mo · 17-03-2005, 02:43 PM

thats as sweet as man.

this shouldnt apply to you however for anyone connecting their PS2 directly into their PC you will need tofdo this one.

Start menu -> settinggs -> Network Connections -> Telstra

window should pop up. then goto Properties -> Advanced

make sure Computer Internet sharing is enabled!

oh and if your going direct from the PS2 into the PC a normal ethernet cable wont do : ( you need whats called a crossover cable which you can get for $5 from any computer store

theres a good start

cheers mike

I still haven't gotten my copy of GT4 yet, but i'm got my PS2 running on a router too, so it should be no problems, and i've got optusnet cable, so will that slow the connections down.

pr1mo · 17-03-2005, 03:03 PM

nah man im on optus cable too it works sweet however youd want to join a game not host them with our upload speeds. kthl looks like being the best person to host games at this stage. check the thread in the australian community section for some info about a get together online tonite for all interested

kthl · 17-03-2005, 09:20 PM

Sorry everyone, I'm still having problems with configuration. My network was not reachable in XLink Kai, so I used port 30000 as suggested at XLink's website and port forward that to my computer that's running XLink. However, XLink Kai still says my network is not reachable. Everything else it fine, it detects my PS2 and says it configured successfully.

I don't know know whether I'll be able to resolve this problem any time soon, so you guys / girls will have to find someone else to host games.

platypus · 18-03-2005, 12:47 AM

do you have any firewalls?

kthl · 18-03-2005, 11:53 AM

My computer is running windows firewall and my router will have an in-built firewall.

pr1mo · 18-03-2005, 12:00 PM

hmm you could run it via pass thru instead of going thru your router maybe :I see how ya go

kthl · 18-03-2005, 08:39 PM

What do you mean by pass through?
