Connecting Your PS2

Installing the network adapter and starting the ISP Setup process:

To setup the PlayStation 2 on ResNet, you must first install the network adaptor according to the instructions found in the installation guide on the PlayStation 2 Network Adaptor Web site. Once you have installed the network adaptor you are ready to begin the ISP setup process.

Power up the PlayStation 2 and load the Network Adaptor Startup Disc.
Once it has loaded, Press X to enter the ISP SETUP. The ISP SETUP will begin to load.
Once the setup process has loaded press X to continue. Your PlayStation 2 will search for the network adaptor.
After the network adaptor has been found, press X to continue.
Press X again to continue.
Wait while the data is accessed. Select NEW and then press X to continue.

Configuration Settings:

Type a name for your ISP setting. This can be any name you would like to associate with this connection.
When asked if you currently subscribe to an ISP service, select YES and press X to continue.
For connection type, choose HIGH SPEED CONNECTION (CABLE OR DSL) and press X to continue.
When asked if your ISP requires a User ID and Password, select NO and press X to continue.
When asked if your Internet Service Provider requires you to input a DHCP Host Name, select NO.

Unplug your ethernet cord from the PlayStation 2, and press X to continue. Unplugging your ethernet cord from the PlayStation 2 will cause the test to fail. You want this to happen so you can get the PlayStation 2 to display your MAC address.
Wait while your network connection is tested. You will see an error screen similar to the image on the left.
After the network connection test fails, DO NOT press X or Triangle. Press Select to see the error message.

The hardware MAC address will be displayed (see picture). The address is a combination of 12 numbers and letters (e.g. 00 04 1F 05 20 02). Your MAC address will be different. Each PS2 has a unique hardware address.

Please write down the MAC address and send it to the appropriate administration as mentioned on the Resnet Gaming Page.

To test the connection, plug your Ethernet cord back into the network jack. Restart the ISP SETUP program, performing steps 1-3 listed above. Leave your Ethernet chord plugged in.
Once the network connection test is successful, press X to save the configuration to the memory card. The network configuration will now be saved to the memory card. Do not remove the network card while this information is being saved.
Your PlayStation 2 should now be configured to connect to the Internet and you should now be able to start playing online. Press X to return to the main menu.
To test out your connection you can choose DEMOS and press X to continue. Follow the instructions on screen to play an online game demo.
