Once again, FM, you're information is invaluable.
When I do finally get online with SOCOM, I will be a loyal bodyguard - ready to fling myself between you and an adversary without a moments hesitation!

"Etherfast Cable/DSL Router RTR 4Port 10/100 4 RJ45
Mfr code: BEFSR41
Quicklinx: 15KMWS"
= £52.87
Right one, FM?
Because there's a more expensive one under it:
"EtherFast Cable/DSL Router RTR 4Port+PCMCIA 10-100
Mfr code: BEFSR41W
Quicklinx: 235LWS"
Anyway, I hope it's the cheaper one! This broadband gaming is not cheap at all. Uh huh.
And I had a look for these CAT5 ethernet cables. I read about them on the playstation network guides, but...maybe they're called something different on dabs.com?
Cheers.
*Waits and hopes for a reply from FM*

Cheaper one is the right one.

Just a couple more questions, if you don't mind :)
The longest patch cable is 4.2m - which isn't long at all.
There's a 10m one, but that's an assembled network cable. Which is probably what I don't want.
However, I've been looking on the ntl:home website, and they say that their broadband + console package (Ethernet version) provides you with a hud and a 20m ethernet cable, and it says it enables you to use your Pc and PS2 at the same time. But this was they said they'd provide my PS2 with a seperate IP address.
Do you think I should give them a ring first just to check it all out?
Maybe I won't need to buy a router and those cables after all!
What do you say?

Onto it, then the ethernet cable in the back of the PS2, seems like a good plan...
