Right...
Having just bought a new slimline PStwo with built-in network adapter, I may be tempted to try some online gaming, and I basically want to know if and how I can get it connected myself, without having to go through NTL with their 'Broadband + Console' package, as detailed on their website. ([URL]http://www.ntlworld.com/ps2[/URL].)
I have an NTL 750k broadband connection. Between the cable modem and the PC, I have the Actiontec wireless cable router, which provides access for a second PC through the same connection. My PC is hard-wired via Ethernet cable, and there is a spare USB connection on the router.
So... what would I need to do to get my PS2 online?
Info and advice from those 'in the know' greatly appreciated.

Hope I've at least pointed you in the right direction.
Its free to get PS2 online. I havent dont it myself but I prosume its mostly setup using online games after you have done something with your ISP. Have a look on the NTL site. There will be info on doing it specifically for NTL I prosume.
Broadband line (direct) ----> router/modem --> PC
--> Xbox (Ethernet)
Seems to be pretty common, and I'm guessing the PS2 is pretty much the same.
EDIT; The PC is not ---> Xbox, but parallel.
Also, the local IP that your PSTwo uses (192.168.0.x), make that the DMZ port. This allows full in/out access for the console, giving you full voice capability and stuff (well, it does with the Xbox).

Ooh, I'm registering then. I used to love that game - cost me £19.99 too!
