Error with PS2Link and computer-side boot loaders

Hello. I am having troubles using any computer-side boot loader with PS2Link. I use PS2Link v1.24 (the one with the prebuilt ISO). I have my PS2 directly linked to my computer with a crossover cable. All the settings are correct. I can ping the PS2 prior to uploading an ELF, but then as soon as I upload an ELF or do a memory dump, the process stops (~50% according to InLink). I have tried all three Win32 PC side clients (InLink, XLink, and PS2EXEC) and none of them work correctly. As soon as I upload the ELF, Windows XP shows a "Network Connection Lost" bubble, and the LINK light blinks. I can no longer ping the PS2.

I use PS2 Net Adapter model SCPH-10350 (the one that comes with the Linux for PS2 kit) and PS2 model SCPH-39001. I believe the adapter works fine, because I can successfully get updates from Datel's Action Replay MAX website via the Internet.

Any information would be greatly appreciated. I tried including everything that I can think of that is relevant to the problem.

Thanks in advance,
Kevin E.

No. It doesn't. It is the simple Star Simulator example ELF from the website.

Inlink is known to have issues. I don't know that it's the problem, but I'd highly recommend trying one of the other clients to see what happens.
