|  [Connectivity] DNAS Error -612?!
Just attempted to network my PS2. All configured fine and all tests passed but whenever you try and play an online game or register i get "-612: No response from DNS Server"?? yet it just passed the dns test, all tests for that matter. im using internet connection sharing with winxp pro connected directly via a crossover cable. Also tried with (windows) firewall disabled still no joy. Any ideas?? |

MA | that one usually relates to firewall/ closed ports stuff.
Try opening the ports listed in this FAQ:

Cheers for that will have to try tonight after work. It seemed to me like a firewall problem but i turned the damned thing off... May just buy a router and an xbox... |

Its really irritating. My isp say contact sony, sony say contact ur isp, although in all fairness my isp made the bold suggestion of... "Have u tried opening the relevant ports on ur firewall?" to which i reply "my firewall is disabled because that was my theory too" to which i got the reply... "urmm... I think you should contact sony" doh!! Ull laugh when i tell u i work as an IT\Network administrator... lmfao |

Do you have modchips installed? Here's from Toxic's readme
-> Disable Mode
When playing online games it is often necessary to disable the modchip so you
do not get a DNAS error while connecting to the online game server. To
disable DMS4, hold down L1 on controller 1 as the PS2 is booting. You will
see a message saying that the modchip has been disabled. Insert your game and
reset the console - the modchip will not be disabled and will stay disabled
until the PS2 is placed in standby.
