- No - (nothing will happen to your PS2)

- Yes.  If you have the money, buy a router.  You will be able to use as many "online" machines as you want.




also can you get virus\'s? like on your ps2 or somthin?

- Not on your ps2 -  (it only connects to certain GAME servers that are heavily guarded.)






which is the cable that i need to hook up to the PS2?

- Ethernet Cat.5 cable. -


my computer is set up like this (i have yahoo DSL)

my computer is normal and it has a cable connected to my modem (speedstream) . now which connection do i unhook and hook up to my PS2?

- (ETHERNET)  The one that looks like a large phone cable - (it\'s plug is wider than a regular phone cable.)

do i unhook the computer? or the modem?or do i dissconnect the phoneline? which one?

- If you unplug the cord from the computer, and put it in the BIG plug in your PS2 online adapter, it should work. -

You could also get a wireless router and game adapter. That\'s what my friend and I both did.

Costly, but you can use it for any system.
