This last one is probably the best but Im sure you could get something from all of them.

 

This might be rather vague, but I'm not too sure how else to explain it.

I have tried several things to try and connect my adaptor to the Internet with, but all seem to lead up to the same message:

"No line was found."

As far as I know, most of the information that I have entered is correct.

I currently have a Road Runner connection.

I have read the manual as well as online sources and made the right procedures [as far as I know]. I made sure the system was not plugged in before I put the ethernet line into the ps2 adaptor, then as soon as I plugged the line into the ps2, I plugged the ps2 in. From the start up disk, it asks if you have an ISP. Road Runner, yes. Then it asks you to choose one of the four:

Dial-Up
Automatic Configuration
Broadband
Advanced Setup

So I choose Advanced Setup and select which providor I have; "Other" (Road Runner was not one of the choices)

It then asks me to manually enter my IP. I then look up the information on my computer by use of running "cmd" and typing the good old "ipconfig/all" command and it shows me most of the information that I need.

It asks for my IP address, that of which I entered correctly. It asks my netmask, which I enter correctly. It then asks for my default router (this is where I think one mistake may possibly be).

My information says that IP Routing is not enabled, but I was lead to believe that a router was not required to be able to connect. If this information is false, please inform me otherwise. So I leave it blank, because I see no route number.

After I complete that, it asks me to enter my primary and secondary DNS numbers, which I then enter correctly.

That is all that is required for the set up, and it is ready to test; I test it and get that very same message; it says that the attempt to connect has failed because no line was found.

If anyone can help me in any way at all, please do so. Thank you.

 

did you enter your default gateway (router ip) ?

 

Yes I did. I've tried all the combinations.

My friend did exactly what I did [entered Gateway in place of router], and it connected just fine, when I tried, it says "no line was found".

I honestly have no clue what that means. No line found? Did I not hook something up right? It apparently doesnt have anything to do with the numbers [well, with my current problem listed above any way], but has something to do with connecting the lines properly or something.

I was led to believe that to connect it properly, first to make sure that my ps2 is not plugged in whatsoever, then take the other half of the cable line [the first one being inside of the card on the back of my computer], and inserting it inside of my adaptor. Plug in the ps2, then begin with start-up, etc.

If anyone can help me out with that at all, please do so.
