PoisonJam Posted December 26, 2003 Report Share Posted December 26, 2003 Hey guys. Sorry to clog up your board with a complete newbie topic, but my nephew has been driving me absolutely batty to get me to hook his PS2 up online. I don't own a PS2 and I know exactly jack squat about them...can someone just give me a quick rundown of the things he will need? The house he is in has a cable modem but he doesn't have wired access to it. So basically I'm assuming he needs some kind of wireless router and then whatever the PS2 requires to get online? An adaptor or something? Again sorry for the dopey question. Any help would be appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeyN Posted December 26, 2003 Report Share Posted December 26, 2003 Pretty Easy You need a PS2 A PS2 Network adapter then you need either 1- A Wired Router and a extra network cable 2-A wireless Router and a wireless game adapater Linksys makes both types of routers and the game adapter and they work great. Plug the network adapter into the ps2 expansion slot, hook up the router(and if needed the game adapter). Pop in the Network disc which comes with the adapater and you go through the setup. Its fairly simple. once you get everything hooked up. Only takes a few minutes capt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamsappel Posted December 26, 2003 Report Share Posted December 26, 2003 Tangential question, what are the demo games on the startup disk? Is it still Frequency and Madden? If so, they really need to start offering more/different games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robot Monkey Posted December 27, 2003 Report Share Posted December 27, 2003 This is what the goofs at IGN put together. -j Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orpheus Posted December 27, 2003 Report Share Posted December 27, 2003 If you were online the first few weeks after SOCOM and the online adapter came out, you'ld have probably thought IGN was dead on the money with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
