Well, this is kinda overdue, but at the same time very much needed since MKA will be lurking it's head around the corner in a couple months. So, this thread is for people to be directed to where they can find information on getting online with their PS2.

What's needed first is to buy a PS2 Network Adaptor. That is if you have an old PS2 model or plan to buy one. You can find a Network Adaptor at just about any video game store or a store that has a game department like Target or Best Buy for example. New Network Adaptors run about $40 and used ones are generally half that. Though, if you hunt around hard enough, you might find one for about $15.

However, if you plan on buying the newer PS2 Slim, there's no need to buy a Network Adaptor, cause it's already built into the console.

Now as for getting online, Playstation.com has pages that provide detailed explinations of how to do it:

>| Installation
>| ISP Contact Information
>| IP Address and Firewall Support
>| Setup Diagrams

In case you encounter any issues, there is a Troubleshooting section that you can refer to:

>| Setup Failure
>| Connection Failure
>| Error Messages
>| FAQ
>| Glossary

Hopefully, this should just about cover it in terms of getting online. But if there's a problem that someone encounters and is having a problem figuring it out through the links, fell free to post it here and hopefully someone will try offer assistance.

Also, if there's something that might be included, post it here too.

Let me say that this is all informative and all, but what about us that already have Broadband and still having problems? My connection has been dropping and giving me disconnects. When it goes back to reconnecting player; I get an error message and for me to check my network configuration.

I've called my ISP five times in the past month to try and resolve this problem. They keep telling me that there's nothing wrong on there end. That it might be the PS2 or the game server.

This has convinced me to look at other services in my area. My current ISP is Insight cable. The other one is Zoomtown through the telephone company.

Does DSL and cable make a difference in online gaming?

Does having a higher upload speed factor into the equation? I have compared the two and would like a few opinions on this. I currently have the basic package with 4m/340k. Insight plus is the only upgrade with 6m/512k. Zoomtown is 3m/786k. Thats all I have to choose from. If I actually lived in Cinncinatti; I would get Roadrunner hands down.

This has been just frustratingfuriousfurious

1.)Yes Cable blows DSL out of the water 90% of the time.

2.)Try and clean out your Network adaptor. Make sure it's installed properly, try again.

3.)If you aren't using a router, and have to unplug/replug your Modem, leave it off longer to be sure the IP address is reset.

These may not solve your problem but they are usefull tips regarding this type of situation.
