Had that done before using a router, but router stoped working and now I'm using Speed touch USB modem to get on the net with my PC.

The problem I have is where to plug the PS2???

I also have a D-Link DFE-816 hub at home, but as I never used hubs I have no idea home to set it up.

Please someone help me out.

Thanks
Robert

 

I'd suggest replacing the USB modem with a proper adsl router and then plug the PS2 into that. Basically just like you had it setup with your old router.

 

unfortunately I need to use what I have now or nothing

 

If you have a network card in your PC you can enable Internet Connection Sharing - ICS - plug your PS2 into your PC and voila.

 

I've tried that but the "local area connection" says that the cable is unpluged
and the PS2 is saying the same

 

so what am I doing wrong?

 

Is it a crossover cable?

 

how do I find out?

but it's the same cable that was used when connected through the router and it worked

 

Well you now know that it's the wrong one, the one you want wouldn't work with the router.

 

lol
OK so now I need either new cable and redone whole cableling in the house or new router

at least I know
Thanks Jack

 

is there an adaptor to convert straight through into crossover?

 

Yep:

thanks

 

No probs, if you need a crossover cable making up, let me know how long and I'll pop on in the post.

 

Thanks for the offer, I'll keep it in my mind
