PS2 DNS probelm

[midzt]

I just got a Wireless bridge for my PS2 but when I tried testing the connection it always fails the DNS test. I'm not sure what to put in as my DNS servers. How can I found out what these are?

I have an Origo AWR-8210 if that helps.

Thanks.

set up the wireless bridge on a pc first and make sure that it is working. it may also be worth giving it a static ip with plenty of space to allow other devices to connect around it (ie main desktop 192.168.0.1, ps2 192.168.0.8)

If your router will forward DNS requests then put the routers IP as your DNS server.

failing that, find out what the DNS server for your ISP is and use that.

go to start -> run -> cmd -> ipconfig /all.

find your pc network adaptor and use the DNS server numbers listed there. should work...

I tried that using ipconfig/all and using the numbers my ISP gave me but it still doesn't work.

On the ipconfig/all one it only has one address but i need a primary and secondary one, and also the ISP one I get a primary, secondary and tertiary

Which ones should I use, i tried just using the ipconfig one and entering them the same for both numbers and I used the primary and secondary ones for the ISP.

Also, would it be a problem with reception as my router and the bridge are on opposite corners of my house, although my house aint exacltly big theres still a ceiling and a coupla walls in between.

Depends on how good the router and bridge are, but I'd have thought you'd be OK - I've got a bridge and a router talking through two walls, a tree, some cars and twenty-plus yards of car park. If you're still using DHCP and you're getting an IP address, I wouldn't have thought that reception was a problem. That said, try setting up the bridge as noted above on a PC where your PS2's going to live if you can, and see what your ping times are?

As far as the DNS server addresses are concerned, you should be getting that automagically from the router if it's acting as a DHCP server and you're getting an address from it. If not, the ISP's primary and secondary are a good bet.
