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...

Tailchaser: Comcast

Yes. No. Yes. Comcast.

Yes.

No.

Yes.

Dial-up... Juno... :cry:

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

I have SWB DSL and a router...


Just what I need... for someone to kick my butt at GT4 remotely... :o

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

Given your new avatar, I wouldn't use the words "grab what" in any of your posts... :lol:

That I know about and need no help! These new fangly compoooder things corn-fuse me! :drunken:

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...
