<p>this weekend rachel got <a href='http://thesims.ea.com/us/index.html?frame_src_content=/us/about/bustinout/index.html'>the sims: bustin&#8217; out</a> for <a href='http://playstation.com'>ps2</a> and it happens to be an online compatible game. well, i have had the <a href='http://www.us.playstation.com/peripherals.aspx?id=SCPH-10281'>network adapter</a> for quite some time, but never took the time to figure out how to actually get it to work. last week i started looking around the internet for ways to get the network adapter to work with a router (i have my ps2 hooked up to a <a href='http://www.linksys.com/products/product.asp?grid=33&#38;scid=36&#38;prid=432'>wireless bridge</a> and then to my <a href='http://www.linksys.com/products/product.asp?grid=33&#38;scid=35&#38;prid=544'>router</a>) . everything i saw on the inernet said to put the ps2 in the <a href='http://www.webopedia.com/TERM/D/DMZ.html'>dmz</a>, but that wouldn&#8217;t work for me because i had my web server on the router also, and putting the ps2 in the dmz would send all traffic to <a href='http://eightfivethree.com'>eightfivetehree.com</a> to my ps2, and we all know that is not a webserver. so, finally, the solution was to route all connections to ports 11100 &#8211; 11199 (tcp) to my ps2. also, i had to route some udp ports to it also, but i don&#8217;t have the headset so i don&#8217;t think the udp ports really matter.</p>

   <p>you don&#8217;t think the udp ports really matters?</p>

   <p>well, udp is used best is cases such as streaming media, because if packets (little parts of the media file) don&#8217;t arrive in time, it doesn&#8217;t matter (because that part of the song has already been played). so in the case of the ps2, upd is used for voice chat and if a udp packet doesn&#8217;t arrive, who cares because that part of the sentance has already been spoken. so, since i don&#8217;t have a headset for voice chat, i figured udp wasn&#8217;t necessary.</p>

   <p>I&#8217;d still sleep better knowing that my packets were arriving on time.</p>
