XanoZuke Posted January 17, 2004 Share Posted January 17, 2004 Here's the problem. My PS2 network adapter won't dial the number I provide. I have a dial-up connection, and I started creating the connection with the network adapter's CD, and just in it's final fase, when it only has to dial; it doesn't do anything. Please somebody help me, since this modem is new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilentBomber Posted January 17, 2004 Share Posted January 17, 2004 PS2?? You mean like the think that a mouse connects to? Or are you talking about the thing you buy for a playstation 2 that lets you connect to the internet?? I'm going to assume that, since as far as I know, you can't use the PS2 connector on your PC for networking..... but your problem is too vague, what do you do prior to it not working?? You might have entered some data wrong. Have you checked to see if the phone line is attached to it? Have you tried a phone on the same line to make sure it works? (I had the same problem with my Dreamcast).... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

longwilli Posted January 17, 2004 Share Posted January 17, 2004 yep ps2 network adapter is a broadband only thing playing games on a dial up is impossible slow even if its possible. the u.k spec has an rj45 to connect upto your home network.

dougkinzinger Posted January 21, 2004 Share Posted January 21, 2004 Possibly for a HomePNA network or something ... but rest assured---it WILL NOT work on dial up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sn00pY Posted January 21, 2004 Share Posted January 21, 2004 Ummmmmmmm... 1) the PS2 networking kit is NOT a modem its a NIC basically... 2) its IMPOSSIBLE they give you a number to dial as it does not need to dial anumber... 3) STOP BEING A RETARD ;) 4) RTFM!!!

beingageek Posted January 21, 2004 Share Posted January 21, 2004 I own a ps2 network adapter and mine has a phone jack on it for a phone line to be hooked up to it, but I doubt u'd have any fun at all using dial-up cause I think all of the ps2 games require broadband to run smoothly online, sry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sub Posted January 21, 2004 Share Posted January 21, 2004 WRONG. THE PS2 IS NOT BROADBAND ONLY. I have an rj11 as well as an rj45 on my ps2 network adapter. As far as your problem, make sure your phone line is working by plugging a phone into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

devBrian Posted January 21, 2004 Share Posted January 21, 2004 Get broadband and you won't have to worry about it. People who use 56k on PS2 online games just end up lagging out half way through the game/race/whatever. I've never played a full game of Madden '04 against someone with 56k. But on broadband, it's 100% lag free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starman Posted January 21, 2004 Share Posted January 21, 2004 You're all confusing the PS2 adapater with the Xbox. The Xbox is Broadband only, the PS2 has BOTH adapters. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
