Hi! I am starting with ps2dev, but I am having trouble with the ps2link.
It boots and shows the correct ip and mask I configured.
When I use ps2client, only the command "reset" seems to work correctly
Any attemp to exec an elf end with a "I can't execute ****" on the ps2 side.

The command "dir" returns (on the pc side):
[ ERROR] Connect socket failed. (-1)
[ ERROR] Connect to request failed. (-3)
[ ERROR] Connect to ps2netfs failed. (-1)

I have also tried ps2exec. Also fails...

I have the feeling that the ps2 can't pass the packets to the pc for some reason...but the other way (pc->ps2) it works, as the command "reset" shows!
I have checked the firewall, it seems ok.
I have also looked on previous threads here, but I don't see my problem anywhere.

Does this error sound usual to anybody? Any hint?

You have to tell it to load the netfs. It doesn't load that by default. You have execiop some stuff:

rom0:SIO2MAN
rom0:MCMAN

and then from the ps2sdk load

ps2fs.irx
ps2netfs.irx

Correct me if I'm wrong, ye who know better, but this is what worked for me.

Are you forgetting to put 'host:' at the beginning of the file?

Example:

ps2client execee host:program.elf

Also, to use the 'advanced' features you have to load ps2netfs.irx.

Example:

ps2client execiop rom0:SIO2MAN
ps2client execiop rom0:MCMAN
ps2client execiop host:ps2netfs.irx

Use devlist to see which devices are available, then use dir to look at the files on that device.

Yes, silly me, I missed the example that explained the "host:" device name.
Using host: I can send the elfs now, time to hit the metal :)

But the rom loading does not seem to work.

ps2client -h xx.xx.xx.xx execiop rom0:SIO2MAN

Both sides, PC and PS2 hang without showing signs of life. No error messages or anything...

They do not hang. They are just waiting. ps2client won't return unless you break it by CTRL-C, or add a timeout option.

Cool, everything works now.
Thanks to all!
