Spent a frustrating half hour or so trying to configure LAN mode gaming on Timesplitters 2.
We have a PS2 Phat with the official network adapter, and a PS2 Slim which of course has ethernet built in.
When you first try to start a LAN game, it complains of a lack of network config file on your memory card.
If you run the included network configurator, all the options seem dialup-specific. Ethernet, broadband, LAN... none of those terms are even mentioned. It's all about tone vs pulse dialing, what number to dial, username and password for your ISP... old dialup stuff.
If you go through all of this and save the configuration anyways, then go back into Timesplitters 2 and try to play a LAN game, the game displays a network error message immediately!
I know, for a fact, that ethernet is properly functioning on both consoles. (I use OPL with a local SMB game share.)
Has anyone out there successfully set up a multiplayer LAN game on Timesplitters 2, over Ethernet?
EDIT: Solved this one! The problem is that if you load the game itself over the LAN (e.g. using OPL's SMB support), LAN play in games won't work.
