I click reconnect in the network settings menu and it gives the spinning working icon for a moment, and nothing more. Like I said above, it doesn't give me any error codes or anything. I've confirmed that it's not a cable or switch port issue, as I've swapped the cable to my XBox One which was able to connect through, no problem.

I have a TP-Link Deco 5 Mesh network system, though both my PS2 and my PC with the SMB share are wired (through a couple network switches). I tried changing the DNS to the same primary as my XBox One and PC, but that had no effect, not that I expected it to. And the PS2 has never shown up on my router as a connected device. The 192.168.1.222 address, Mask, Gateway, and DNS are what I set it to when I tried using a static IP, Changing it to DHCP didn't change anything. I thought that maybe the old OPL version might have been an issue, so I figured out how to install the newer OPL v1.0.0, but the issue persisted with the new version. The other problem is that I get no error about DHCP not being reachable or anything like that, so I'm left not knowing what is going on. I used to be a network tech, so I generally know what I'm doing, networking-wise. I've also tried setting it up with a static IP, but it still will not connect to my network. Where the network setup fails is pulling a DHCP address.

When I got my memory card with FMCB (and OPL 0.9.3), I setup my PS2SMB share and started setting up OPL on my PS2. I Purchased an FMCB memory card, an HDMI adapter, etc., and I organized my backup folder on my Win 10 PC with the OPL Manager tool. I randomly learned about Free McBoot and OpenPS2Loader recently and decided to dig out my old PS2 Slim (SCPH-70012) and add it to my retro gaming collection of modded mini consoles to revisit some old faves with my son.
