Im confused on how im supposed to run/test .ELFs on my PS2

I've put ps2client binary into the gsKit starter kit.
You can use it as command line in cygwin (see makefile for syntax)

have you configured your IP gateway and mask in the dat files

im not sure what you mean by configureing the .dat files.

Ill be a little more clear with what i did.

1. Run Xlink (Beta_1) on pc
2. Start PS2Link v1.46 on ps2

When i start PS2Link on my ps2 i get the following output on my tv.

Welcome to ps2link v1.46
Booting from cdrom (cdrom0:\SLES_000.00:1)
Using chached config
Intializing...
Net config: 192.168.0.10 10.0.0.2 192.168.0.1
Ready

As soon as ready hits the screen my disk stops, i think this is normal. now i get the following output from Xlink as soon as ps2link is loaded.

tty mounted
host: mounted
IOP cmd thread started
Naplink thread started
loadbuffer: id 31, ret 0
loadmodule: fname rom0:CLEARSPU args 0 arg
clearspu: completed
loadmodule: id 32, ret 1
read/write allocate memory 4000

What does any of this mean, im still not connected.

It means you are connected.

no, if i was connected then Xlink would say online or connected or whatever it says besides offline....

I don't use Xlink or inlink or those programs, just plain ps2client for me, but if you are seeing that then there exists a working connection between your ps2 and your pc.

Yes, you're absolutely right. And for those who don't see this, here's a simple explanation:

Without a working connection of some kind there is no way for the PC-side program (whether that's Xlink or Inlink or whatever) to have any idea of what is happening on the PS2 side.

So any feedback at all about PS2 activity, given by the PC-side program, does mean that the connection has to be working.
(or else the program is just hallucinating... :) :) :) )

ps2client 3.0 doesn't seem to work either. i have no idea what i am doing wrong. is there a special way this is supposed to be set up?

How are you using ps2client?
From the command line if you are in the folder containing the elf you want to run you would type something like:
ps2client -h 192.168.0.10 execee host:/elfname.elf
And the program would be loaded and executed on the ps2.

im using it the way you say im supposed to. still nothing on the tv. or output from the command line.

Maybe you have some weird firewall settings that allow the program to only recieve data, and block all sending of data? Thats about all I can think of though, since it shows you output from the ps2 in xlink.

Be sure to have your PC ip adress set at 192.168.0.n
(usually n=1, since turning XP into a getway server -ICS:Internet Connection Sharing- forces it to get this address anyway)

If masks are 255.255.255.0 that means machines that can see each other on ethernet must share the same first three numbers

I realize this is an old topic but I had the same problem. After searching the web for a fix I realized the simple solution.

What I did was I opened ipconfig.dat in my ps2link files (with notepad) and I manually changed the default ip address to my ps2's ip address. I found the ps2's IP address in my routers DHCP Client List. So it went from looking like this:

192.168.0.10 255.0.0.0 192.168.0.1# EXTRACNF = mc0:extra.cnf;

to

10.57.57.3 255.0.0.0 10.57.57.1# EXTRACNF = mc0:extra.cnf;

When I reloaded the ELF file in the ps2, My Xlink went online.

How did you find the DHCP Client List?
