Whitesupraboy2 Posted March 11, 2005 Share Posted March 11, 2005 well last night after completeing A License i wanted to race but have never liked racing computers too much, so thought i would attempt to play online. took me while to get the correct settings but once i did. WOW!!!! it is absolutely amazing online! i play 4 games, no lag in any at all! and once connected to user, u can do a race choose another one and different car,so no disconnecting. I got a game of 3 going and a little bit of lag every so often nothing that bother u at all. If anyone ever played burnout 3 online, the cars jumped alot. there is not one single bit of jumping all very smooth. Now the setting up...hmm...well i had ps2 and computer plugged into the router. But it didnt work as the router was giving it a ip address instead of the program on the computer, so ive plugged the PS2 into back of the computer via 2nd network card and crossover cable and works a treat dont even have to enable internet connection sharing. If people want help setting it up, or want to know my layout and exact settings just pm me. bad points cant use ur own cars....but...ive worked out if you add certain cars to your favorites they become avaliable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted March 11, 2005 Share Posted March 11, 2005 I dont get what you mean when you talk about the router. All it should need is a router assigned IP to play, no? I think you should be able to plug it into the router via the cross over cable to get it to run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey bobbeh, no the problem was the router was assigning the ps2 a Ip address. the software you use on your PC needs to assign the PS2 a ip address, (took me ages to work out this is what it does.) problem i got was the router was overriding what ever IP address the software gave it. Most people do what you say plug into router and works but for some reason my router wouldnt let it. was giving it a good thrashing last night again, im nackered today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine doesnt support the PS2, you may have the same one. It should make any difference where the PS2 gets an IP from, because the router acts as DHCP and just allows traffic back and froth like your PC.

Bobbeh Posted March 12, 2005 Share Posted March 12, 2005 Ah I think I understand what you're saying now there are some routers that are PS2 compatible, and probably have configs for PS2 online play already sorted. What is this KAI engine software and where can I get it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
