I am trying to connect to socom 2 pal using a router the arena is definately pal .... but when i get onto the lan section of socom2 and im logged in. I cant see any created rooms Sad

i know there is definately rooms up... someone else with a router has the same problem. Do I have to be using a shared connection or is there a way of doing it through a router??

Same problem as Fig, using a D-link 604+ router, Xlink works fine.
No games in Lan section appear.

You don't have to use ICS, This works fine with a router setup. In my experiences so far KAI has worked better with Socom 2 than it does with TimeSplitters.

Some things.. you need to be in the same arena obviously..

And.. Make sure you can see each others ping... if you can't then trying to connect to each other is hopeless? If you can't see someone's ping It most probably means they need to do the port forwarding (This is what i have read on these forums).

Make sure your PS2 is detected in "KAI Performance" > Also Sometimes it doesnt show there until you create or attempt to join a LAN game.

Also, When your looking for a game, Try "Refresh" list in Socom 2... It might work.

actually, thats how its supposed to work Smile

once you create or join, traffic is sent that identifies the console to kai Very Happy

Well, I used the Port Magic program, And when I started KAI I noticed that it used UDP ports: 30000, 34522.

I think it's using port 30000 because thats what i specifed in KAI config. Anyway, Both those ports are now forwarded to my PC - Wether it helps or not I don't know Wink

Well I have tried all the ports people have suggested, tried them a UDP and TCP, tried redirected them to my pc and also my ps2.

Alas no results, even when making my own game I canne see anything on the Lan screen.
