O.P. "Network Cable Unplugged"
I bought a crossover cable to connect my laptop to PS2 for wireless connection but when plugged in all I get is the above message.

For ease of use I've connected it between two laptops but still the same message..

Any suggestions?

IIRC, wireless connections don't require cables. What is going on?!
was put impeccably into words at DebianDay for me last Saturday, by Knut Yrvin of Trolltech - adults try something once, fail, and then are like "ffs this doesn't work". Children try, fail, and then try again, and succeed - maybe on the second, or even fifth retry. But the thing is that they keep at it and overcome the problems in the end.

If I understand correctly, he wishes to share the wireless connection on his laptop with his PS2. This is how I have my XBox 360 set up so I assume as it should be possible on the PS2 using it's Ethernet port.

Ansette, have you tried using another cable? Perhaps (although unlikely) you may need a standard straight-through Ethernet cable rather than a crossover? Or, as xen0h said you may have a bad cable. If you can, try with another and see if the problem still occurs.
;p

The PS2 doesn't have online games or internet :undecided: So why would you need it connected?!

IMO, he means PlayStation2, not the PS2 ports. and Playstation 2, does have Online Gaming, as shown by Sony's PS2 website http://www.us.playstation.com/PS2/Online

EDIT: Lol sorry if I'm making you seem stupid q25...it's just that I was there so I thought I might as well give the link...
