Here are replies that are used to help people set up TMBO for Kai on PS2 and 3.

You would need this version for it to work with the ps2/ps3:

There pretty easy to follow -

Most Playstation 2 games on XLink Kai will work while using a Playstation 2 Network Configuration that is setup automatically. For some reason, a few games have problems with that and will not work over Xlink Kai when using one. Jak X: Combat Racing is a game that needs a special manual PS2 network configuration before it will work on XLink Kai.

Follow one of the 2 guides below to set it up. The 2nd guide listed here came out first, but it is much more complicated to setup. I have not personally bothered to set it up because the first guide listed on this page is much simpler to follow.

You can save multiple PS2 network configurations to your memory card. So don’t delete your automatically setup one to make this. Just save both with different names so that you can tell what they are in the future, so that when you are about to play Jak X: Combat Racing you can tell which network setup is the one you need.

So, you will need the network setup disc that came with the fat PS2's network adapter to set this up. Or, you can use one of the many Playstation 2 games that have a network setup utility built in to set this up. A list of some of these is here: viewtopic.php?f=29&t=180

Guide most of us use to setup the special network configuration needed to play Jak X: Combat Racing through Xlink Kai.

Please don't just skim over this. Make sure to read this whole page. If you make a mistake on even a single digit this will not work properly. So please make sure you double check that you entered every number correctly.

• Boot up your PS2, and find the consoles MAC Address. This can be accessed by pressing Triangle at the main screen of your PS2 to view version information.
• Use your MAC address at this URL to generate an IP address: http://www.teamxlink.co.uk/ps2assign.php
• Create a new network setting on your PS2, and call it "xlink" or something similar.
• This will be a Static/Manual configuration. Use the following:

Console IP: (use the IP that you generated from the URL above)
Subnet Mask: 255.255.0.0
Router IP/Gateway: 192.168.0.1
DNS: Automatic

This guide was not created by me. Here is the source

I should say though that not all models of PS2 will let you find the MAC address with the above method. For example, my old fat PS2 would not show the MAC address this way. I had to get out a game with a network configuration utility to find it. I used Midnight Club 3: Dub Edition Remix’s network Setup utility, but other games with the utility probably work the same or similarly. A list of which playstation 2 games have a network setup utility is located here.

I went to “edit setting”, then picked a memory card that contained a network configuration I had already created, then I pressed the Triangle button (Setting List) when a network configuration was highlighted. Once I did that it showed me the MAC address of my Playstation 2.

Also, some network setup utilities will not let you set DNS to automatic like the guide states. For example, Midnight Club 3: Dub Edition Remix's network setup utility forces you to manually enter in numbers for the DNS while following this guide.

So on the "DNS Server Address Entry" screen for "Primary DNS" enter in the same numbers as the "Router IP/Gateway" numbers. These are: 192.168.0.1
Leave "Secondary DNS" set to its default of 0.0.0.0

The concept of game tunneling involves running third party software on your PC in order to route LAN data over the internet to your opponent. This only works with PS2 games that have a "LAN" option. Please see our System Link Game List for more information. (Note: I.LINK network data cannot currently be tunneled online.) The availability of a LAN option allows a game to be played online in the event that it's official online services are terminated by the publisher. Since they can be network independently from corporate control, they are essentially 'Online Forever'.

To get your Playstation 2 ready for tunneling LAN games, follow the instructions below:

1. Sign up for an xlink account by visiting xlink's official website.

2. Download and install the latest stable build(non-beta) of XLink's software.

3. Configure the XLink software:
In the configuration options, enter 30000 for both the Kai Port and Kai Deep Port.
Select the network adapter that Kai will be connecting to the internet through.
Enter your XLink username and password.
4. Configure your Playstation 2:
Boot up your PS2, and find the consoles MAC Address. This can be accessed by pressing Triangle at the main screen of your PS2 to view version information.
Use your MAC address at this URL to generate an IP address: http://www.teamxlink.co.uk/ps2assign.php
Create a new network setting on your PS2, and call it "xlink" or something similar.
This will be a Static/Manual configuration. Use the following:

Console IP: (use the IP that you generated from the URL above)
Subnet Mask: 255.255.0.0
Router IP/Gateway: 192.168.0.1
DNS: Automatic
5. Forward port 30000 to your PC's IP address, via your Router's administration panel.

use that last link to assign a ps2 mac address

This was information Marrtyr had posted so noone has to go digging.

If you have any problems, I guess you can ask our tech wizards here, or try and contact them on AIM.

awesome jobs mags...thank you for breaking it down like this...glad ur back

Looks like I'll have to find another way to obtain the MAC address, as my version of the Network Setup disc is the very first one, and does not have the options that the later discs had.  Probably have to plug it into my PC, which I really don't feel like doing right now.  Better luck tomorrow, hopefully.'


edit:  mmm, Engrish.

That won't be necessary, but thanks.  I may have found another way to get it to work with my current disc.  If in fact it does work, I will post it up. 

The things we do for the love of the game.

I followed the instructions from both the first and second guides and have reached the same error. (-612) It comes up and says the DNS server has no response.

Doing a search, the error means some of my ports aren't forwarded or I'm behind a firewall, which I'm not. I've opened up the 30,000 port and tried opening extra ones listed here: (http://portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/Linksys/BEFSR41/Twisted_M...)

If I run the network set up and leave everything to be automatically detected it all works. If someone on AIM has a second, please send me a message if you know what the deal is.

I'll see if I can get this running in a few minutes.  I totally missed the TMBO train the first time around.

See I don't understand. Some people are having trouble with what works for others. It's so weird. All I did was open the 30000 port on my router, made sure my firewall was off, reset my router and modem, and changed Kai's ports to 30000 as well. I literally did nothing to my PS2's network set up.
