- PS2 - IP: 192.168.1.104 Change this is to the address for your console on the network Mask: 255.255.255.0 This is the subnet mask for your network GW: 192.168.1.1 Change this to the IP for your router (or PC's IP if directly connected with a crossover) - PC - IP: 192.168.1.2 Change this to the IP of your PC, it might be a good idea to make it a static IP so it doesnt change on each PC startup if you use other PCs. Port: 445 This is the default port used by SMB protocol, but you can assign a different one if it is already used by another PC program. Share: PS2SMB This is the name you use for the folder/drive sharename on your PC. (they MUST match) A virtual
Keyboard
will open to allow you to input a sharename.
User: GUEST Change this if
your PC requires a username for access, otherwise leave as GUESTPassword: Set your password if your username requires it, otherwise leave blank OK: Sets changes and returns you to the main settings screen (be sure to save changes from the main settings page) Pressing  will return to the main settings

PC Settings:
| Open PS2 Loader uses the
SMB
(Server Message Block) protocol to connect the PS2/PS3 to a PC's share
folder. You can connect your console to a router with an
ethernet cable if you already have a network setup or connect
directly to your PC with a crossover cable. Make sure your PC's
IP,
console's IP and router's Gateway IP are all in the same Range with the
first 3 ocets
having the same number. An example IP : 192.168.1.xxx of a typical LAN network, where xxx represents a specific number for a device on the network. No two devices can use the same 4th ocet number, as this last digit specifies the device as seperate from another device on the network. Example device IPs on a network: PC 1 - 192.168.1.100 PC 2 - 192.168.1.101 PC 3 - 192.168.1.102 PS2 - 192.168.1.10 A router is usually 192.168.1.1 as its default IP for a Gateway, then assigns each device on the network in the order as they are turned on if you left the PC's setting as Dynamic (auto assigned by DNS). So if you have 3 PCs and turn them all off/on daily, the first PC turned on would be assigned the first available IP number. So you might want to assign a Static IP to a PC if you dont wish its IP to change. If you use a router and have 'port forwarded' applications, be sure to check that port 445 is free, as the SMB protocol uses port 445 as its default. You can specify a different port in the OPL's network configurations if port 445 is not available to use. Also make sure the port is not blocked or used by another app/service in your Firewall. You need to make sure your PC is enabled for file sharing and can use SMB. There are many ways to configure your connection, depending on the equipment you are using. I will list the configurations of those that have worked for others. Computer
filesharing configurations
WinXP Simple File Sharing is on by default , so most likely you have SMB enabled, but if you dont or dont wish to enable it, you can enable the Guest Account to connect to the SMB share. To enable Simple File Sharing: My Computer > Tools > Folder Options > View Tab At the bottom you will see the option "Use Simple File Sharing (Recommended)", so place a mark in the box and click OK. WinXP Home doesnt have this option as it is on by default and can not be turned off. You can also reference the Microsoft website if you need more info on File Sharing: How to configure file sharing in Windows XP Setting a Sharename:
WinVista File and Printer Sharing in Windows Vista File sharing essentials Win7 (by windrider42) I created a folder on my H: drive named 'PS2SMB' Then right click, share with Select specific people Choose 'Everyone' Then set properties for 'everyone' to 'read only' Or: Just right-click the Folder PS2SMB and click 'Properties', then click on 'Share tab' and Select 'Share' and allow 'Everyone', then Select permissions for Everyone. Pretty simple. It will look like below. You can just click Security tab to change the 'Everyone' permissions.  Linux Modifications to the samba config I had to make: By volca
To sum up, put this into
global
section of smb.conf
4. I also had to setup guest user (in shell)
Set keep alive = 0 if you experience freezes of the ps2 after a while of playing. For reference, this is the share config I use: [PS2SMB]
comment = PS2 ULE share read only = yes locking = no path = /share/PS2-UL guest ok = yes If you experience network initialization freezes , you may have to open the samba server port on your firewall. - Ubuntu 9.10 by Jones23 The only thing I had to change in the smb.conf was "security = share". Then I just configured the share with Nautilus (works similar as with Windows Explorer): right click on folder --> share options --> tick "share this folder" and "guest access" --> apply changes That's all, share works fine Mac OS X by Gnom 1) Open the "System Preferences" app. 2) Go to the "Sharing" folder.  3) In the list of services on the left side of the window, go to the "File Sharing" item and click on the "Options..." button.  4) Enable the "Share files and folders using SMB" option and click on the "Done" button.  5) Add the folder you want to share (ie. PS2SMB) to the "Shared Folders" list by dragging and dropping it in the "Shared Folders" list and check that "Everyone" has at least "Read Only" rights to this folder in the "Users" list.  6) Your folder should be shared over SMB.
