Has anyone managed to network their PS2 with their PC. Loads on http://www.playstation2-linux.com have, but the only reason to go to the forums there is to brag about well you've done it.. Um, you need a NIC in your PC, and a CAT5 crossover cable going from PC NIC to PS2 NA. I think the PC NIC has to be set up for TCP/IP or something like that, to share files. Maybe you can set it up as a DHCP server, I'm not really sure. It all depends on the various ways of using the different software to do it, which I don't really have a clue about. For sharing files, I know you need to make the file available from your PC (in windows, by allowing files to be shared from the Network option in Control Panel, then right clicking the file or directory and choosing share this file from the appropriate tab), then use Samba on the PS2 to link to the file/directory. For directory: smbclient -L // smbclient -N /// Sorry, bit rushed, interpret from all that what you can. > 2. Anyone know how to mount a USB 250 ZIP on the PS2 so I can transfer > files that way :-S > 3. where are the examples :) /usr/doc/PlayStation2/libps2dev/sample/ then /basic3d or /vu1/blow That's if you've installed them. If you haven't, you'll have to find them on the 2nd CD, and install them (use rpm on the appropriate rpm...) Rikki
