Networking guys? Online Gammers??....
 

Problem.

I wan't to play socom2 online...I have the online adapter..but from my Cable modem/Router to my PS2 the cable is longer then 25 feet..PS2 says no more then 25 feet...I called up my Cable comp and they said they can see my MAC address for the adapter..PS2 Tech said "we can't help you online networking is not our service" "You have to have it under 25feet" Can't I use like a hub to boost the packets/signal?...


btw it's about 100 feet of cable from the networking room to my game room..

:helpme

i had the same problem, i just ended up using ps2 online in my room on that tv.. i wonder if a wireless would work? :)

yes, you can amplify the signal using hubs

I wanted to use it on my HDTV =/

yeah our bigger tv is in the other room aswell... if u get it working lets play.. tell me what games ya have and we can have some matches :)

I got my head set also :-p

Right now I only play socom2

I have always had my xbox..just not xbox live.

i was addicted to nfl street and tigerwoods at one point.. i have risk aswell as socom 1.. havent played much latley.. some of those people are hardcore into it... i just play for shits and giggles :)

yeah, it would.

linksys sells a wireless adaptor for PS2 and Xbox.

Have you tried it?

daum... thats cool!!

nope... i have my Xbox on my TV downstairs, which is wear my wireless hub is, so i just plug it in with a cable.

i'm gonna put my PS2 upstairs, but i don't think i'm gonna get the online adaptor.

What wireless setup do you have?

I am going to buy wireless this weekend.

i play need for speed underground online all the time, look for me 'Squatter':winkwink:

a bit on the expensive side too though :(

the wireless-b is $120 and wireless-g is $200 at futureshop.

i dont play enough to go out and buy games.. i just rent em.. unless i find the odd place that has a game i would wanna try for dead cheap :)

i have wireless on both my ps2 and xbox, they work just fine with my linksys wireless-g router

I've got a Network Everywhere Wireless-B router downstairs in my basement with my modem and my TV and I've got a USB Wireless adapter upstairs on my PC.

i wounder why it's only 25 feet normal ethernet cat 5 is 320 feet but u wouldnt push it over 300 you'll start to see weird shit.
