I have a router, but I never had any problems with it yet. I have Suscome cable and everything's fine with it. Maybe try calling your cable company or adjust the setting to your router, and make sure to test them to make sure it goes through. Oh, and test the ping too.
Hope it works for ya, bro.

The issue with wireless routers doesn't really have anything to do mainly with the actual system, it has more to do with Gamespy.
Your wireless works with XBOX because its a more reliable network, whcih allowes remote access without any questions. Its more of an online service for the XBOX. However, the PS2, all they give you is a modem, and hope that everything works man.
My only suggestion would be to buy yourself a 25 or 50 foot ethernet cable, and run it all along your house, but hide it so that its not ugly... I have mine hidden underneath the living room rug, and tacked right next to the actual cable wire, where it has to go alone the walls.
bottom line - PS2 is shitty with wireless. Im not saying it WONT work with it, but your only on problem #1 now. After you get online, chances are, you'll probably have slower gameplay on the PS2, because the modem they sell for the ps2 isnt exactly a very good one. Its a $30 moneymaking piece of trash.
A real cable modem sells for about $90, and a DSL modem sells for somewhere around 70 now. Just looking at that should tell ya something.

Well said. Indeed, the wireless will work, but it is tricky. The problem is the authentacation system Sony is using (I connect just fine, it is when you go through the DNAS part of the process that things fail). Requires so much bs when you are trying to set it up with wireless, but not when you do it wired.

Thanks for ur info but i did say that it is a wireless router but the only thing thats using a wireless connection is my pc my xbox has an ethernet cable running from the router to the xbox and the ps2. The thing is that the ps2 wont connect online for some retarded reason and i dont get why i even redid the setup and nothing has changed. Its not even attempting to connect it says connecting but it stays there and the time doesnt even run out at all. It just sits there.

Well, heres your problem... Its wireless.
I'm not being funny, I'm just saying, I too have a wireless router in my house. And like you, I did exactly the same thing as you, only very, very slightly different.
I connected both my home computers to the wireless network, without the cables. My laptop is leeching off that connection as well.
But my XBOX and PS2 have the cables running from the router directly into them.
So all of my computers are running wirelessly, but the game systems are not, and everything works fine.
I think you should really reconsider the whole wireless option for the PS2 man, its honestly far too much trouble. More trouble than its worth, actually.
