PS2 Network Adapter?
PS2 Network Adapter?
Anyone gotta PS2 network adapter? Or maybe a roster file they could give me with updated rosters for Madden 2005 for PS2?
Re: PS2
Coincidentally, I work for Resnet. You gotta call them and ask someone to come and set it up for you.Lnknpk04 wrote:How do you set up the network adapter. for that matter, how do you set up a router...that was the only way i could think of to split the connection so i could stay online and play on line at the same time. Damn you resnet.

I am currently learning to encode video. This requires quite a bit of file transfer. My brother is a marine, I send him a lot of pictures, videos, etc. Also, I went over my quota the first week because of trojan viruses that my laptop had on it. Because of that I couldn't get to black board for a week because it was so slow. Also, why is the use of wireless routers not allowed? I was told that it "degrades" network quality for everyone? How is that? Does sitting at a desk doing work instead of sitting comfortably in my bed somehow magically make the network better? All it is doing is taking the connection that would be sent to my computer anyways and broadcasts it. We pay for it, we should be able to use it. I dont mean to offend anyone in employment of resnet, I simply challenge the current state of affairs.

huh?!
I've got an idea.
Both of you should move off campus.
Oh, and I think your beefs are with Computer Services or Networking. Both of whom ultimately govern how the campus network is administered. Furthermore, the two mentioned above follow any policies set forth by MOREnet.
ResNet, on the whole, is more about helping users troubleshoot their problems and keeping people connected to the network. Yet, they end up having to enforce policy on what you might call the Residence Life portion of the network. And if you've taken your social studies, you should realize those who police usually don't make the laws to begin with.
As an aside, in my brief experience as a support tech. I found there were two types of users:
(1) The guy/gal who, regardless of level of computing expertise, say, "Hey, I got a problem. I don't know how to fix it. If I did, I certainly wouldn't be calling. [States the problem]. Can you help? Do you have any advice?"
(2) The guy/gal who, regardless of level of computing expertise, say "Hey, I got a problem. I'm real good with computers, but I got this problem. I can't fix it. My brother is an MCSA and he can't fix it. My dad writes networking protocols and he can't fix it. And my mom invented the interweb and she can't fix it."
My thinking is that no one person can solve every conceivable computing problem they'll face. There is no reason to qualify your expertise. In the end, it makes you look/sound like a bigger jackass than you already are.
And before anyone else goes on a rant about the campus network make sure you know at least some of this
(1)What part of your student fees and how much of them go towards paying for your network usage? Be specific.
(2)How computer savvy are most of the users on the network?
(3)Why is it good not to let those that aren't savvy "roam free"?
(4)Why are the current policies in place?
I won't go on any further. In retrospect, this should have been a 3 word post. I can't bring myself to erase it all though. This is what the post should have looked like.

For one, I wouldn't call you if I had medical problem. I would call a doctor and ask for help. Similarly, If I were to have trouble with my computer I would call someone who could help me with the problem. In any either case, I wouldn't call some random guy for help unless I had reason to believe this random guy had some expertise.
If you're a pediatrician and you have a problem with your vagina, assuming you have one, you going to head to the gynecologist to get your junk checked out. In this case, like my example, your level of medical expertise in dealing with children is essentially irrelevant to the diagnosis of ovarian cancer. If the pediatrician comes in and says something like, "I'm a pediatrician, kids who have swollen feet usually develop diabetes." That's a ridiculous example, but regardless, it doesn't help diagnose the cancer.
Likewise, if you're a computer god or know someone who is, does it really matter. You're still calling tech. support. Chances are, you didn't write the piece of software or engineer the hardware you are having trouble with. A developer or developing company may introduce idiosyncrasies into their products that the computer god has not seen. Thus, problem created.
No one wants to help an asshole who thinks he knows it all. Mainly because if they knew it all, they wouldn't need help and they wouldn't call tech. support. So I'll reiterate, don't qualify your expertise. Ask for help.
In my thinking, your analogy about me letting you perform minor surgery is simply irrelevant. If I needed minor surgery, you would not come anywhere near the equation. Furthermore, my example was meant to illustrate how someone who needs help with something medical or otherwise need not qualify their expertise, medical or otherwise. Just get help. Maybe I wasn't clear or maybe I'm not understanding what you're saying. Correct me if I'm wrong.
