Hello.... I just recently got a Network Adapter for the PS2 (to play Mortal Kombat Deception online). But I'm getting very confused on how to set it up properly. So here I go... I have a Family Comp hooked up to a wireless router. That wireless router feeds to my laptop computer in my room. The ps2 is in my room... so I'd like to have a connection going from my laptop into my ps2. So what do I do? Do I use a cross over cable from my laptop and into my ps2? Or an ethernet cable? Do I change any settings on/in my connections? Like.. "share to other networks" ? Or anything like that? And do I have to disable my firewall? I tried looking on google, but didn't find anything that answered my questions. I once had a Gamecube broadband adapter... I did the same set-up... hook my laptop up to my cube with a cross over cable. I had to change something in my wireless router settings (dont remember what, because I got help)... and it worked for me. But now I'm working with the ps2 and just... blah. Please help if you can. Thanks!

A crossover cable is an ethernet cable: It has a pair of wires "crossed" between the two connectors so the computer at one end knows there's a computer instead of a network appliance on the other. And it just depends on how you want to connect the two PCs. If you have NICs on both machines you can set up a "Direct PC Connection" using a crossover cable between the two PCs. Or you can buy a "Null modem cable" and connect them between serial ports. You can install a wireless NIC in the laptop so it networks through your wireless router and this is a great solution; the laptop can move all over the house and still connect to the Internet. It all just depends on how you want to do it.
