PS2 SMS XP VS W7HP

1. If you cannot get Windows XP to connect by SMB to SMS, then your PC's name is simply too long.
Reinstall XP and name your PC just that, XP.

I have my XP eMachines PC named XP and my HP Windows 7 PC named W7HP and they both can be detected.

2. Use SMB connection for PC's using XP for optimal performance.

3. To stream with Windows 7, change the option off of SMB inside of SMS's options.
Run PS2ClientLoader to handle the connections. ( http://www.omnicrash.be/2011/01/29/release-ps2clmon/ )

The IP address of the PC goes inside the SMS.smb file.
The IP address of the PS2 goes into the client loader app.

The only thing I had to type into the console to get it streaming was:
"set host 192.168.1.102"
No quotation marks, and the IP address is of YOUR PS2.
