network problems and ps2 ethernet

GreenBullet,

Are you connecting your PS2 through your router?  Or are you connecting your PS2 directly to your cable/DSL modem?

Green Bullet,

What happened with your computer between the time that it worked and now?  How long ago was it working?

GreenBullet,

Are you trying to get your PS2 to connect to the internet through your PC?

Steve

Green Bullet,

You will need to re-enable Internet Connection Sharing so that the other network devices on your system can access the internet through your computer.  A different idea would be to use a router which has the feature of being configurable for gaming.  This would include port forwarding and firewall configuration on the router.  D-Link, Netgear and Linksys (as well as others) make good routers designed for gaming.  You could connect your PS2 directly to the router.

To enable Internet Connection Sharing on a network connection

You must be logged on as an administrator or a member of the Administrators group in order to complete this procedure. If your computer is connected to a network, network policy settings might also prevent you from completing this procedure.

• To set up Internet Connection Sharing, run the Network Setup Wizard.

Important

• Do not use Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) in a network with other domain controllers, DNS servers, gateways, DHCP servers, or systems configured for static IP.
• When you enable ICS, the network adapter connected to your home or small office network gets a new static IP address configuration. Existing TCP/IP connections on the computer running ICS are lost and must be reestablished. For example, if Internet Explorer is connecting to a Web site when ICS is enabled, you must refresh the browser to reestablish the connection.
• To use ICS, users on your home or small office network should configure TCP/IP on their local area connection to obtain an IP address automatically. Home or small office network users must also configure Internet options for ICS. For more information, see To configure Internet options for Internet Connection Sharing.

Notes

• To start the Network Setup Wizard, click Start, click Control Panel, click Network and Internet Connections, and then click Network Setup Wizard.
• For information about the protocols, services, interfaces, and routes that are automatically configured, click Related Topics.
• Internet Connection Sharing is only available when two or more network adapters are installed on the computer.
