I would get you a wired router and hook your modem up to that. You take a small piece of network cable run it from you're modem to your router hub.Then you take the cable you bought and run that from lets say there is 4 slots well you hook your cable you bought into say slot 1 then hook the other side into your ps2.

Does it cost anything to play online for PS2?

**GOREDDEVILS** · 11-27-2006, 06:36 PM

I just havem a a little belkin 4 port router myself it works just fine. I'm sure you could go to office max or homedepot and find one for around 50 or 60 plus another 15 or 20 for the small 7 foot piece of cable. I looked on office max site didn't see anything smaller than 7 foot.

No you agree to some espn thing and you can play for free.

**GOREDDEVILS** · 11-27-2006, 06:41 PM

Alot of it depends on what gamesyou play and what their server you play on.
I have yet to run into any games that charged you to play on the ps2. Like on socom navy seals 3 you can play for free or you can pay to play in ranked games plus get the extra map pack.But in no way do they say you can't have the right to play for free and fun.

All you have to do is call your cable provider and tell them you need to set up your ps2 and they will walk you through it.

Can I use a wireless router? My cousin uses one for their computer and their laptop and its wireless. Can I use it for the PS2 because I won't be able to run a cable to connect them because my PS2 is like on the other side of the house to where my computer is.

I don't believe you can for the ps2 since its not setup for wireless.

Just drill a hole in your bedroom floor like me.
