Trouble getting online with the PS2.
Hi my friend just bought a non-modded slim model PS2 and we are having a hell of a time trying to get the online software setup using the PS2 Browser V3 software that comes with the unit.
He has a cable modem, from Optimum Online, plugged directly into the unit. When the modem was connnected to his PC I did an ipconfig/all and thought I had all of the info I needed but I still can't get through. I don't know what info I need to input in the DHCP Hostname field but I believe every other field I put in the correct info. I understand that I may have to leave everything blank and JUST enter the DHCP Hostname information but again I am not sure what belongs in that field. The only thing that we haven't tried was unplugging and resetting the modem, other than that I entered just about every piece of data in as many combinations as I could think of and it always says error connecting to the DNS. Thanks for any help, peace. |

There should have been an IP addy for the DHCP server in the ipconfig /all

Yeah, it was the same address as the IP address and I tried it, it didn't work when I entered it with all the other info manually.

No the modem is connected directly to the PS2. When I type in ipconfig/all which "field" exactly do I need to look for? The language between the PS2 and ipconfig is not 100% synonomous so maybe I was just looking at the wrong listing in ipconfig? And if possible could you give me an example of what a DHCP Hostname would look like. Is it a number, a name, a word, whats the syntax, etc.

I got it guys. I entered ONLY the DHCP server number/hostname and left everything else on automatic. This worked after unplugging/resetting the modem.
The DHCP number was not the same as the IP as I said before, it was the same as the primary DNS number though, I was confused on that. Anyways, thanks for the help. |
