Playstation 2 port forwarding problem
Iâ₠¬ÃƒÆ’¢â€žÂ¢ve read a few threads on here about problems playing EA Sports games online, but I canââ‚Âà ‚¬ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¾Ã‚¢t find anyone with this particular problem.
I have a PC, a laptop and a Playstation 2 sharing my ntl home internet connection through a Linksys WRT54G broadband router. I want to play EA Sports NHL 06 online, and to do this I need to forward some ports on the PS2 IP address. However, the router configuration page will only allow me to forward ports for IP addresses in the range 192.168.1.xxx. I could put the PS2 into a DMZ but the IP address still needs to be in this range. The PC and laptop addresses are in this range, but whenever I try to configure the PS2 IP address and DNS servers manually using the PS2 network access disc, the PS2 always changes the address to 192.78.78.0. It can connect to the internet with this address to play other games, but not NHL 06.
I have selected DHCP in the router configuration, which I understand is correct, so that the router can assign an IP address to each machine behind it. The addresses for the PC and laptop have always stayed the same since I installed the router, so if it will give the PC and the laptop a 192.168.1.xxx address, why wonââ‚Âà ‚¬ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¾Ã‚¢t it do the same for the PS2?
Thanks.
