Hi guys

I'm new here and could really use some help.

I have a slimline PS2. I've wired it up to my Wanadoo/Orange livebox to try and get online.

I've ran the network access disc, it has created a setting and ran all of it's checks (all greenlit). When I then try and log into the 'Central Station' it makes the connection and loads up the central station homepage, where it says press X to continue. I do so, and the loading icon comes up at the top right. It tries for a few minutes then says it couldn't access it and to check my settings.

I have a network access code but haven't been asked for this anywhere.

I really want to get online but am totally stumped. Do I have to do some config on the Livebox? I've tried playing with the 'set up external hardware' on the access disk but didn't get anywhere?

Can anyone save me from going totally nuts?

many, many thanks for any pointers

PS. Will I not need to enter my WEP key from Wanadoo somewhere as well? Cheers

Ok thanks. Any idea how I go about doing all this stuff? I'm not especially IT savvy. There aren't options for entering most of this stuff in the network configuration settings as far as I can see. Would all the checks that the network disk ran have come back green if all this other stuff wasn't set correctly, or is it totally seperate?

Thanks again

I've got the DNS numbers and put them into the network settings on the ps2.

There's nowhere for the subnet mask or my WEP key still though - any ideas?

I've tried it with just the new DNS settings and when i try to access central station i get the same message as before:

Central Station cannot be contacted. Check your settings and retry. [Ref. SCC]

I hope so - these boxes are a pain in the a**e for anything that isn't built in to a PC!! Thanks anyway
