LOL thank god you posted that 4 times http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif You need to setup up ICS, it doesn't just automatically set itself up because you plugged the cable in.


** Windows XP

* Step 1: This will assume that you have some rudimentary Windows XP knowledge. There is a way to do this automatically, by using Windows XP's ICS Wizard, but that has failed on me a few times, so I recommend doing it manually. First, navigate to the "Network and Dial-Up Connections" folder, and open it. Are you connected to the internet? If you are, disconnect before you proceed. Now, click on the "Internet Gateway" icon for your connection (modem), right-click if necessary to bring up a sub-menu, and select "Properties". On the window that comes up, hit the "Advanced" tab, and check "Allow Other Network Users To Connect Through This Computer's Internet Connection". (Self-explanatory, isn't it?) Connect to the internet.

* Step 2: Connect your GC BBA to your NIC by plugging in the RJ-45 Crossover Cable to both. Start up your GameCube, and when PSO's title screen loads, go to "Options", then "Network Option", then "Provider Option". Hit "Yes" to proceed. If you do not already have a networking file, let PSO create one, and if you already have one, hit "Yes" to edit it. Click on "Network Setup", select the name you want to use, and hit "Edit Menu". After you have modified the name of the ISP connection to your liking, hit "Next", and then click the radio button (circle) for "Automatically Obtain IP Address (DHCP)". Keep hitting "Next" until you have the option to hit "Save", and do so, saving your settings.

* Step 3: Try to connect to the 'net with your GameCube. If the connection does not work, you will have to manually set an IP. Proceed with step 4 only if you have to do this.

* Step 4: Return to the "Provider Option" menu in PSO. This time, click on "Manually Set An IP Address". Hit "Next", and for your IP address, put in 192.168.0.200. For your Subnet Mask, put in 255.255.255.0. For your Default Gateway, put in 192.168.1.1. Hit "Next", leaving the DNS fields blank, and "Save" these settings. You should now be able to connect.

thank you very much. i love you!!! haha. o and my cpu started crapping out thats why it posted 4 times. haha.

[VioletSkye]

An easier way to get there is to click START then right-click MY NETWORK PLACES then select PROPERTIES. Right click on the Local Area Connection icon and select PROPERTIES then click the ADVANCED tab. Make sure there is a check in INTERNET CONNECTION SHARING.

dotn forget to turn off the screensaver, if you have on active.
when i was using ICS i couldnt understand whay i kept getting disconected ever 1/2 hour, as soon as the screen saver kicked in i lost my conection.
also it might be worth checking to see that your P.C doesnt automaticly disconect the internet conection after a certain amount of time. ( modem> right click> properties)

[Caydence]

arlite more troubles haha. when i get on it says, "You could not be connected to the server. Please check that your ISP settings are correct before connecting." I followed step 4 and everything. i dont know wuts wrong..

[Rich_T]

Have your tried setting everything to automatic?
that worked for me.

[Caydence]

ill try
