If you don't mind helping me, I'd really appreciate it.

Here's what I have:
DirecWay Satellite 2-way Broadband Internet Service, the modem is USB which connects to my main computer, I have a home network with a 5 port router (which can also act as a broadband router on the 5th port if necessary), my main computer serves as a host for Internet Connection Sharing through Windows 98SE to two other computers on the router.

This article is going to sound much like our article on SOCOM: US Navy Seals and firewalls . 989 Studio's NFL Gameday 2003 is another PS2 network-playable game that will require some of the same ports to be opened in order to play.

The game uses TCP ports 10070-10080 in the same manner that SOCOM does, but it also needs UDP ports 10070-10080 opened as well.

If you're using IP Masquerading (IPmasq), or Network Address Translation (NAT), there's a few ports you'll need to tell your firewall/proxy to forward on to your Playstation 2. SOCOM: US Navy Seals uses TCP ports 10070-10080 for game data, and VoiceChat. If these ports are not being forwarded to your PS2, connecting to a game will be a hit-or-miss battle and VoiceChat will not function at all.
