I want to connect my pc directly(no routers) to my ps2 using a cat 6 cable. I got the server running on the playstation but when i try to connect using flashfxp i get an error saying there is no route to host. Is there anything i can do?
you need a crossover cable to connect directly without a router
so a crossover cable is different than a cat6?
yup
There’s not much of a difference between CAT5/6 and a Crossover cable. It’s only a few wires that are arranged differently, but it’s necessary for a direct connection.
I’d also make sure that your PC and PS2 are in the same workgroup.
what do you mean by work group?
Basically the name of the certain network your on.
On Win2k and XP the default workgroup is “WORKGROUP” (no quotes). I don’t know anything about configuring the PS2 for connection, however the principles should remain the same.
BigB is right in that Windows 2000 has a default workgroup called: “WORKGROUP”, however Windows XP has a default workgroup of “MSHOME”.
(On all of my XP machines on my network Pro and Home they are all running MSHOME by default)
