If you are the only member, the Clan will cease to exist.

when you select the View Notices option.
This is the same run-amok gunplay as the Online Multiplayer games, but you’re
connected via a Local Area Network to up to 16 different PlayStation 2 systems,
each running a
25 TO LIFE disc. Local Area Network gameplay has the following
requirements:
• Each PlayStation 2 system must be connected to a network adaptor (for
PlayStation®2) and its own television. The network adaptor must be connected
to a LAN via Ethernet. Each PlayStation 2 system supports one player.
• One player must host the LAN game.

FIREWALLS
In order to join or host a 25 TO LIFE game from behind a router with NAT (Network Address
Translation), or firewall, you may need to enable Port Forwarding. You will need to route, or
forward, all data on port UDP 9103 to the IP address assigned to your PlayStation 2 system.
Note: Users using DHCP must ensure that their PlayStation 2 system is always assigned
the IP address specified in the Port Forwarding setup; under these circumstances you may
need to change your network configuration from Auto Detect (DHCP) to a Static IP address
using the Network Adaptor Start-Up Disc to ensure that forwarded data always gets to your
PlayStation 2 system.
If you are still having trouble connecting to other players, try bypassing the router or firewall
by connecting your PlayStation 2 system directly to your DSL modem, cable modem, or other
broadband device.

USB HEADSET
During gameplay, if your USB headset is plugged into your PlayStation 2 system but you are
not able to chat with your opponent, your opponent may not have a USB headset connected
to the PlayStation 2 system, or you and your opponent may have a low quality connection
to each other.
