I have a fat ps2, and cannot figure out how to host this game. I tried using internet connection sharing and turned off my firewall but people still couldnt connect. Then I tried plugging my ethernet chord straight from the wall into my ps2, but for some reason my ps2 couldnt even get online with ghost recon that way. I kept getting error 610 when trying to connect to the dnas server.

I saw this on the gamespot ps2 forum archives.

Q. Can I share my internet connection with my wireless laptop or computer?
A.
Yes you can. You can use the Internet Connection Sharing ability built
into windows. It varries a little between Windows 2000 and Windows XP
Pro (i don't beleive xp home can do ICS but i could be wrong). You need
to have either 2 ethernet cards installed in your machine, or one
ethernet card and one wireless card. If you are connecting your PS2
direcly to your PC you will need to use a cross-over cat5 cable, rather
than a normal straight-through cable. Also, when ICS is enabled your PC
will act as a DHCP server, so you will want to select that option when
setting up your Network Adapter software. Personally a swtich/router is
a better soulition tha ICS, but if you have no other alternative then
this option will work.

Windows 2000

1. Connect your cross-over cable to your second ethernet port on your PC and to the PS2.
2. In Windows, open your Network and Dial-Up Connections window.
3. Right-click
on your primary Local Area Connection icon, the one associated with the
device that connects to your internet service (ie your wireless card)
and select Properties.
4. Select the Sharing tab at the top of the screen.
5. Put a check in the Enable ICS for this connection box.
6. If
the game you want to play requires specal ports to be opened, you'll
need to select the Settings button at the bottom of the window. In the
Settings window select the Add button. In this window you'll need to
enter the port information you need to forward. I'd suggest reading the
Help if you need more information about port forwarding in ICS.

Windows XP Pro

1. Connect your cross-over cable to your second ethernet port on your PC and to the PS2.
2. In Windows, open the Network Connections window.
3. Right-click
on your primary Local Area Connection icon, the one associated with the
device that connects to your internet service (ie your wireless card)
and select Properties.
4. Select the Advanced tab.
5. Put a check in the Allow other network users to connect through this computer's Internet connection box.
6. If
the game you want to play requires specal ports to be opened, you'll
need to select the Settings button at the bottom of the window. In the
Settings window select the Add button. In this window you'll need to
enter the port information you need to forward. You will also need the
IP address of your PS2, you should be able to find that information in
the Network Adapter software on the PS2. I'd suggest reading the Help
if you need more information about port forwarding in ICS.



cus there are ports that mytho posted up , and ones in the instruction booklet that are supposed to be open, so If I opened these ports in the above way would it work? and how would I find my ps2's ip address. I tried searching through the network config software and it just says automatic for the ip address.

In a last ditch attempt last night, I grabbed my Netgear router from the closet and set it up to troubleshoot Jungle Storm. I remembered being able to host using this router when I purchased the game way back in 2004 (Has it really been that long? Laughing).

Lo and behold, I was able to successfully host a game, as a 'backseat host' came in and demanded that I begin the game by bellowing "GOOOOOOOO" at me several times. I fully intend on scheduling games now that this debacle has finally ended. Smile
