YES! I finally got port 30000 to open! I used portforward.com and found a guide for port 30000 for my exact router! You can do it with any router too! You just find the xlink port which they have under "port list" then select your router and a guide will pop up. I realized I was making a crucial mistake all along. I was setting "source ports" and "destination ports" both to 30000 but your supposed to always select "any" for "source ports". The relief I felt when I saw the green letters on the port checker say "The port is OPEN". Ya. Posted Thu Oct 22, 2009 7:23 pm: okay...I used the guide here for the rest of it and also realized I had 255.255.255.0 set as the subnet mask on the ps2 config instead of 255.255.0.0 now xlink says my ps2 is configured successfully and that my network is reachable |

probably a false alarm. I tried playing swbf and rainbow six lockdown on lan with jjc5150 but we could never see each other games on our ps2's or in the xlink arena...even though port checker said port 30000 was open, my network was reachable, and my ps2 was detected.
any ideas why this was happening? |

when you are both in the same lobby for the game make sure you can both see each others ping, if it gets stuck on searching for the other players ping then you will not be able to see each others game. There is a real way to fix this but the best way that I have found to solve this is to just restart your router, modem and xlink. hope this helped | ||||

Every time your PS2/PC/etc. connects to your router, the router assigns it a local IP address. A local IP address usually starts with something similar to 192.168.xxx.xxx. By assigning it a static IP, you permanently assign the PS2 a specific local IP address that it uses every time it connects. This allows you to keep ports forwarded to the PS2 every time it connects instead of reconfiguring the ports to match up to the PS2's local IP. |
