Ok i know this is quick but ive had a reply from playstation about this so ill post the details here as i cannot find them anywhere on the web and it works
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Direct Method
To configure LAN play using the direct method, i.e. PlayStation 2 Network Adapter to a Crossover Ethernet Cable, directly to the second PlayStation 2 Network Adapter, you can use the following set up:
Using the Network Access Disc, create a new Network Configuration called LAN and set it to one of the 2 set ups below:
Console 1
ISP = Other
User Name and Password Required (PPPoE)? = No
DHCP = No
IP address = 192.168.0.1
Netmask = 255.255.255.0
Gateway = 1.1.1.1
DNS Addresses Automatically Obtained? = No
Primary DNS = 1.1.1.1
Secondary DNS = 1.1.1.1
Save settings but do not run a Diagnostic Test.
Console 2
ISP = Other
User Name and Password Required (PPPoE)? = No
DHCP = No
IP address = 192.168.0.2
Netmask = 255.255.255.0
Gateway = 1.1.1.1
DNS Addresses Automatically Obtained? = No
Primary DNS = 1.1.1.1
Secondary DNS = 1.1.1.1
Save settings but do not run a Diagnostic Test.
Once you have created the network configuration, simply load your LAN compatible game, and choose the LAN option, once you have selected your configuration click 'Login', it will ask you to create a player name. Once you have a player name click 'Connect' on Console 1 followed by Console 2 a couple of seconds after, this will allow both console to recognise each other. One player will need to create a Gaming Room, if both players try one will be disconnected. Once the room has been created the other player can join
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Router Method
If you intend to set up a LAN game via a router or switch, then you might be able to just leave everything as automatic for DHCP and DNS IP addressing. If this fails to work then you will need to have a Static IP address for each PS2 and set each PS2 and these IP addresses may need to be entered into the Router as well:
Console 1
ISP = Other
User Name and Password Required (PPPoE)? = No
DHCP = No
IP address = First IP Address created as Static within the router
Netmask = 255.255.255.0
Gateway = IP Address of the Router
DNS Addresses Automatically Obtained? = No
Primary DNS = IP Address of the Router
Secondary DNS = IP Address of the Router
Save settings but do not run a Diagnostic Test.
Console 2
ISP = Other
User Name and Password Required (PPPoE)? = No
DHCP = No
IP address = Second IP Address created as Static within the router
Netmask = 255.255.255.0
Gateway = IP Address of the Router
DNS Addresses Automatically Obtained? = No
Primary DNS = IP Address of the Router
Secondary DNS = IP Address of the Router
Save settings but do not run a Diagnostic Test.
Once you have created the network configuration, simply load your LAN compatible game, and choose the LAN option, once you have selected your configuration click 'Login', it will ask you to create a player name. Once you have a player name click 'Connect' on Console 1 followed by Console 2 a couple of seconds after, this will allow both console to recognise each other. One player will need to create a Gaming Room, if both players try one will be disconnected. Once the room has been created the other player can join
Anyways thanks if anyone was lookign into this but playstation actually got their asses into gear and sorted this out for me, oh well hope this helps anyone else as i couldn't find this anywhere when i needed it
