What a pain. Getting PS2 connectivity working on the PS3 was way more difficult then it needed to be.
Sony was kind enough to include the PS2 update on their site to allow you to play hard-drive based PS2 games, but, apparently not the network configuration software, as I couldn't find it.
For some reason my original network setup disc that came with my slim PS2 wouldn't work. After some research it sounded like most Madden titles included the software. I'm not a football guy, but would have picked it up just to solve my problem. Luckily I re-read a post concerning the topic and discovered Ratchet & Clank: Up Your Arsenal contained the network setup software!
Woot! Now I can play ATV 4 or Resistance on the same machine (course not at the same time). Hopefully this tip will help somebody else.
