Problems getting playstation 2 online

Just wondering if any of you guys know anything about troubleshooting PS2 networking. Here is my problem:

Today I bought a network for my (old style) PS2. I have it set up using my computer as a router. I am using a crossover cable and the guy on the phone said that was right.

This is how my network is set up:



I have tried everything that they suggested on the phone and some things I have thought of myself, but none have helped. I have tried switching off my firewall so I know it's not that.
Here are some screenshots to better illustrate the problem:

Connections status: http://img172.exs.cx/img172/5383/connection_status.jpg

Thanks for your help!

I hope so! Unfortunately they ain't very ready to help on the 'tech-support' line or the forums.

Computer 'A' is just the computer that connects to the Internet, not a server.

I'm not sure about configuring the IP for the PS2

Thanks for that, but I have tried all of that. There tech support isn't very good, I think.

Don't you have to do that after you connect?

UPDATE: After following these instructions, it now fails on the DNS test.
