| PS2 Online and Wireless?
Is there anyone who can help me with a small problem? I have a PS2 and wanna go online with their network adapter, but the room where my PS2 is located is just way too far to be running an ethernet cord to my cable modem. I am running an airport network already for our home computers, is there anyway to hook the PS2 up online and wireless? I see that there are websites I can go to for PS2 online help, but I want Mac help! I never trust those PC guys and their cheap routers they want me to buy! Please help! -------------------------------------------- 17in. iMac 1GHz G4 768 RAM--His 12in. iBook 800 MHz 512 RAM--Hers  |

PS2's don't have PCI slots, nor do they support wireless Internet.

Might not support it, but you can get it to work, anyway. I can't say much about the setup, but I can tell you what ports need to be open up for it: TCP 1024 - 65535 (which is all ports that are considered open...probably the PS2 picks one at random..) UDP 50000 - 65535 (smaller, but still a pretty big gap). I'd say it'd be better to hook it up directly rather than through a router (unless you don't care about firewalls).

You can find wireless adaptors for XBox and PS2 now pretty cheap ($50 - $70) at most CompUSAs. Here's one for $100, although I'm sure you can find them cheaper... http://www.compusa.com/products/prod...936&pfp=SEARCH
