Thread: GT4 via Xlink

  1. #1

    Default GT4 via Xlink

    Quick summary of what we're after here... Xlink (http://www.teamxlink.co.uk) lets you create a virtual LAN using the Internet so that PS2 games that don't support online play can be played online. The easiest setup uses a home network - preferably wired - where your PC serves as a tunneling device between your PS2 and the Internet. If you have a router and multiple PC's already, you'll just need to install the software, connect your PS2 and get gaming!

    ----------------

    Does your PS2 have the Ethernet port? Do you have a PC located appropriately to connect to your PS2?

    If you're interested, say so and indicate your ISP here. I understand this works better for people on the same ISP...

    Nope, but you can grab a used one for $20 at Gamestop.

    Pardon my stupidity, but grab what for $20? An add-on ethernet port?

    Good find, TC -- They even support OS X!

    I've got everything but the e-net port on the PS2. ISP is Comcast (cable).

    Comcast sells both cable and DSL -- I wonder if that "same ISP" thing still holds across connectivity types?

    Actually I don't have GT4 yet. (But then, you didn't ask that.)

    Yup... add-on ethernet port... I think there are a number of USB to ethernet adapters that can be had for the $10-25 range as well.

    Unless you've updated the USB drivers on the Tivo, you should be able to hotplug/unplug to test it with the PS2... Just a suggestion...
