Author Connecting PS2 online - idiots guide please!

I have just ordered the Network Access Disc from Sony for online
gaming. What else will I need to connect online? I have the new silver
slimline PS2 so I don't think I need a Network Adaptor? Will I just
need an Ethernet cable to go from the PS2 to my modem? Also, my modem
is a Alcatel USB Speedtouch - is this OK to connect the PS2 to?

Cheers

I don't know about the modem, but yeah the network adaptor is built in to
the PS2.

Hmm,

Does your modem only have a USB port? It will need an ethernet port for
you to be able to connect your PS2 to it. Otherwise you will have to use
ICS through your PC.
