i dont get this, werent plus and ep3 pal + usa patched not to connect to LAN IPs? i kinda dont see how this can work then. ( didnt try, and not going to, but i know for sure i cant connect my ep3 ( apart from my JP ) and my pso+ to my server ( without AR ) because of the patch) . Gcent? explanation on how this works exactly? :o btw i dont see you on msn too often anymore, what happened?

This is not making any sense to me. How do you have the GCN reach the internet connection from the second LAN port? I have tried Bridging the connection and Internet Connection Sharing. And messing around with the DNSes and such. Could someone explain that to me?

you gotta use a cross over cable, which is different from a regular cat 5 straight cable. The router crosses over for you, but when you directly connect them, it dont work, just like system link with xbox or gamecube LAN. Get a crossover cable, connect it to second ethernet port, then turn on ICS.
