Web on your PS2

Browse the internet using your PS2. This is the first method for the first version of the NAD.
Setting up your PS2 to browse the web [now with added bookmarks feature]
Method 1:
Start the Network Access Disc
Go to "Get Connected"
Go to "Advanced Options"
Choose "Configure External Network Device"
Select the settings file
Using up and down on the controller type in this IP address
217.33.205.103
Welcome to the Brookfresh homepage
If you need to return to the brookfresh site pressing the start button on your controller will bring you home.
Unfortunately this is only available on the European Setup. If you are from outside the Eu and know of a way to browse the web on your PS2, let us know.
NAD Disk updated.
Sony have recently updated the NAD disk to work with the updates soon to be made to central station. The updates have something to do with tournaments and friends lists etc. details are sketchy at the moment.
The new disks don't allow you to connect to Brookfresh though. So no more web for you lot eh?
Not true. Rex Nebular has come up with two workarounds for us all. Here's how to use the new disks and cruise the web (Holland take note):
Method2:
If your PS2 connects to the net through your PC (ICS etc) then you can edit your hosts file and this should allow PAL versions of the NAD to browse any webpage.
Windows 95/98/Me c:windowshosts
Windows NT/2000 c:winntsystem32driversetchosts
Windows XP c:windowssystem32driversetchosts
Open hosts with notepad then add:
217.33.205.103 uk.playstationtv.com
217.33.205.103 au.playstationtv.com
217.33.205.103 eu.playstationtv.com
After editing the hosts file, if you are using Win9X, you may need to reset your PC. If you are using XP then you don't need to reset.
Now you can just start Central Station and hopefully the Brookfresh page will show up.
If you ever want to see Central Station again then you can comment or delete those lines from the hosts file. Use # to comment out the lines.
Method3:
The latest Network Access Disc, "Configure External Network Device" only works if you to enter a reserved for private networks IP .
It doesn't appear to save the IP so the easiest IP to enter every time would be "10.0.0.1" but if you are using ICS then you should enter "192.168.0.1".
Whatever IP you enter, needs to be the same IP used on a networked computer running a port redirect.
I used this program to redirect port 80 to "217.33.205.103".
I only tested this on the Australian version but it should also work on any version that has "Configure External Network Device"
For the curious, the user-agent for my version is "Mozilla/4.00 [en] (PS2-PTV 1.1) Interactor 2.2", the older version is "Mozilla/4.00 [en] (PS2-PTV 1.0) Interactor 2.2".
Thanks to Rex for this tutorial. If you are not clear on any point here please post your questions to the forum.
