~Tutorial:

Native PS2 Online: PS2 had native online servers that have been shut down but replacement servers have been hosted by the community.

To use these servers, you must have:
* PS2 with a network connection
* Memory card
* Way to edit your network connection settings. (Network setup utility disc or one of these games: https://www.teamxlink.co.uk/wiki/List_of_PS2_games_with_built-in_network_setup_utility).

Here are the steps for Tony Hawk 4, Underground, Underground 2, and American Wasteland:
1. First load your network configuration tool.
2. Select “Add Setting”
3. Then Select a memory card to save your network configuration to. Scroll right.
4. Select your Network Adapter
5. On the “Use of PPPoE” screen select “not required” and scroll right
6. For IP select “Auto” and scroll right
7. For DNS Server select “Manual” and scroll right
8. For DNS server Address Entry enter “45.7.228.197” as your primary DNS.
9. For the Secondary DNS enter “8.8.8.8” and scroll right.
10. For the “Name the Setting” screen enter “PS2ONLINE” (This is to easily identify it if you end up creating other configurations.) Scroll right.
11. Confirm and Save your settings
12. Now exit the configurator and enter THPS4, THUG, THUG2, or THAW. (I’ll use THPS 4 for this tutorial, so the steps may be slightly different for you.)
13. Select “Network play”.
14. You should get a pop-up that says you should set up your network device and connection. Select yes.
15. Select “Current configuration” and then select “Sony Network Combination”
16. Then load the “PS2ONLINE” configuration
17. Then select “Save Settings”.
18. Go back to the main menu and select “Network Play”
19. Then you should have the option to select a skater and then you can change your name.
20. If it asks “Internet or Lan” select Internet and then select a server. (It may ask about a GameSpy login just select no)

The Steps for Tony Hawk 3 are slightly different:
1. Enter THPS 3 and select “Network play”
2. You should get a pop-up that says you should set up your network device and connection. Select yes.
3. Select “Hardware Setup” and select “Network Adapter”
4. Go back to the “Network Setup” screen.
5. Select “Advanced Options”
6. Select “Use Defaults” and set it to “No”
7. Select “Primary Master Server” and type “45.7.228.197”. You can leave “Secondary Master Server” as “0.0.0.0”.
8. Go back to the “Network Setup” screen and select “Save Settings”
9. Go back to the main menu and select “Network Play”
10. Then you should have the option to select a skater and you can change your name.
11. If it asks “Internet or Lan” select Internet and then select a server to join.

You only need to set it up once. I tried to put as many details so it would be easier for new players to join. That being said ask for help on the server if you need it.
