Socom2, error 880....

[rubber2k1]

I used the machine ID changer. The machine id was still there. the LinkID was all 0's. Not sure if the machine id was correct cause it started with:
01 11 02 18 xx xx xx 61


I thought i was reading that the ID should be:
18 D2 11 01 xx xx 39 01

LinkID:
07 19 00 1A xx xx 34 20

x= random numbers

i did that and still got the 880 error

I have a retail copy of Socom 2 and I am getting DNAS -880 now. I have a magic mod chip but not a backup version of socom 2. I think they are detecting the chips even when diabled now. Now I know I did'nt download a new patch recently so I can figure this one out. I had the same problem rubber2k1 did with the network config file. I am going to try to delete all socom data from my mem cards and try again. Please let me know if anyone has a fix for this.

Load the Paradox machine id changer on ps2 and look at your Ilink id, if it is all zero's like rubber2k1 then I guess $ony is doing something to modded ps2 when you play on their server.

I was on Socom 2 just now and I had no problems getting on. I used the original disk and turned my mod off, been doing it like that for a year with no problems and im in Louisiana.
