Hello
I just want to know if the playstation 2 + sony internet adapter can be
place in a network with my computer(i would place 2 network card, one
plugged to the ps2 and the other plugged with the cable modem) and then
set the ip, i did it with other computer before but i wanna know if it can
be done with a ps2, because my isp doesnt allow us to place a router and i
really want to play ps2 online!
and heres what they anwsered:
Hello Louis,
Thank you for writing us.
If you access the Internet using either DSL or high-speed cable, and you only
have 1 home computer
(i.e., you do not have a home network, or "Local Area Network" (LAN) of multiple
computers connected
to the Internet), you will need to follow these steps to connect your Network
Adaptor
(Ethernet/Modem) (for PlayStation(R)2) to your current setup:
1. You must disconnect your ethernet cable from behind your COMPUTER and
reconnect this cable
directly into your Network Adaptor's "NETWORK" Port. Do not disconnect any of
the cables from
behind your DSL or Cable MODEM. Your PlayStation(R)2 computer entertainment
system must be
connected to your DSL or Cable Modem in order to communicate to the Internet.
A flowchart displaying this setup would show:
"NETWORK" Port on the Network Adaptor ------> connects via ethernet cable to
------> DSL or Cable
Modem ------> which connects to -------> Your Wall (outside Internet
connection/your ISP)
-OR-
2. You can purchase a DSL/Cable Router along with the appropriate ethernet
cables (available at
your local computer/electronics retailer). This device will allow you to
connect multiple computers
(including the PlayStation 2 console) into a single DSL or high-speed cable
Internet connection
entering your home. This option will be more costly (because of the equipment
costs involved),
however, you will have the convenience of never having to disconnect the
ethernet cable from behind
your computer to share your Internet connection.
so i was like, wtf i said i cant put a router and i want the computer to work at the same time as the ps2
so i emailed them back and im waiting for another anwser
