gate1.jp.dnas.playstation.org153.121.44.150

I. PS2


If you are on PS2, head to the page that lists Alternate DNS Methods that Work on any device that can play Outbreak online. If on PCSX2, it will be quicker to follow the instructions below.

II. PCSX2: using the built-in DNS Server.


a. Edit or set up your network connection in the game so that the settings are all automatic.

b. Configure PCSX2

i. PCSX2 1.7.x nightlies


Go to Config-> Network & HDD, and input the DNS entries as follows:

12
1.7.x Network & HDD 'Intercept DHCP' tab1.7.x Network & HDD 'Internal DNS' tab

Launch the game and connect.

ii. PCSX2 1.6.0 or older


a. Edit the CLR_DEV9.ini file

Close PCSX2 entirely. Next, open the network config file, which is located within the PCSX2 folder, inis-->CLR_DEV9.ini. Scroll to the tag "<Hosts>." You will see an example entry:

<Hosts>
	<ConfigHost>
		<Desc>Set DNS to 192.0.2.1 to use this host list</Desc>
		<Enabled>false</Enabled>
		<IP>0.0.0.0</IP>
		<URL>www.example.com</URL>
	</ConfigHost>
</Hosts>

Note: If your CLR_Dev9.ini file does not have a <Hosts> section, please download the latest CLR_Dev9, activate it in your PCSX2 plugins section, close, and reopen PCSX2. Your CLR_Dev9 ini file should now have a <Hosts> section.

Change the <Hosts> section to add our 3 DNS entries like so:

<Hosts>
	<ConfigHost>
		<Desc>Set DNS to 192.0.2.1 to use this host list</Desc>
		<Enabled>false</Enabled>
		<IP>0.0.0.0</IP>
		<URL>www.example.com</URL>
	</ConfigHost>
	<ConfigHost>
		<Desc>1</Desc>
		<Enabled>true</Enabled>
		<IP>208.72.237.15</IP>
		<URL>kddi-mmbb.jp</URL>
	</ConfigHost>
	<ConfigHost>
		<Desc>1</Desc>
		<Enabled>true</Enabled>
		<IP>208.72.237.15</IP>
		<URL>www01.kddi-mmbb.jp</URL>
	</ConfigHost>
	<ConfigHost>
		<Desc>1</Desc>
		<Enabled>true</Enabled>
		<IP>153.121.44.150</IP>
		<URL>gate1.jp.dnas.playstation.org</URL>
	</ConfigHost>
</Hosts>

Save the file.

You may also download a reference CLR_DEV9.ini file, but make sure to right click the link and set "save as type" to "all files" so that the file saves correctly with the .ini extension instead of as a plaintext file. Alternatively, you may delete all text with your CLR_DEV9.ini file and copy and paste from the reference. Take note, though, that if you choose to use the reference file, you will need to re-enable HDD in Dev9 Plugin Settings and reselect your virtual HDD file if you have HDD loading set up through HDLoader/OPL.

b. Set DNS1 to 192.0.2.1

Open PCSX2 and set the DNS1 setting in the Dev9 plugin settings to 192.0.2.1. If you used the Dev9 reference file above, this will already be set to 192.0.2.1, but check just in case. Go to Config-->Dev9-->Plugin Settings:

Click Ethernet Options
Setting DNS1 to 192.0.2.1

Start the game and connect.
