Yeah, now I've got a super duper connection, and am in the process of getting a screen for my PS2, I want to get it online.
After buying the Network adaptor though, what else do I need? I've heard stories of routers and such like - but if the primary purpose of this is to connect the PC and PS2 online at the same time, I can happily ignore this and not go on my PC when playing on the PS2 online, and vice versa.
Here is how I am connected up at the mo:
PC with internal network adaptor
Ethernet connection and ethernet cable
Once I buy the Adaptor for the PS2, is that all I need to get online (besides getting an online game as well)? I'm assuming for installation I have to plug the network adaptor into the PS2, the cable into the adaptor and the other end to the ethernet socket. But is it that easy?

whats-up house???
Well this has been the worst two days for a while now. Well quite bad anyway.
last night my PS 2 does not load any game, at all.
Today I go to bank and see if college had put that EMA thye owe me in yet, woo hoo £205.
Withdraw £140 and its off to town.
I try lookign for a used PS 2, got a silver comign at chriatmas, but I refused to pay minimum 139.99.
I now have 1 month and 11 days before my silve rps 2 for christmas.
To make it worse, I have 3 games comign before xmas but can't play them.
DANG

Are you the same Icarus that I keep meeting in the Hardware CS universe then?
As long as you're not bothered about not being able to go in the internet on your PC at the same time as playing your PS2 then it's real simple. Just plug the cable that comes with the adapter into the adapter (which will be plugged into PS2 obviously :-) ) and your modem and off you go happy gaming.
If you want to use internet at same time though that's when the routers and stuff comes into that and that's not my department.
