I have AOL broadband and a netgear router thing. What do I need to be able to play PES 5 against other people on the internet, using my PS2?

Dummies guide needed, thank you in advance.  :smile1:

You need one of these for starters.

Ok, just found a few on eBay. Is it just that and an Ethernet cable?

Im not sure about the rest as ive got an xbox.

oxfordfan is the best one for this sort of thing although theres a few others on here who know all about it.

Get it - i play online and its the best thing of all time

What do I need other than that adapter thing that Spuddy said? There's no monthly charges or anything is there?

Nope. Buy the adapter (it comes with a small ethernet cable anyway), plug it in the back of your ps2, plug the ethernet into your modem at the back - then you set it up on the playstation using the disk that comes with the adapter.
Then your away! No monthly subscriptions, nothing else to pay except the £20 for the adaptor.

Brilliant, thanks. I was going to put it on my xmas list but Im not sure I can wait that long... :?

Buy it tommorow and ill give you a thrashing! You will become addicted to it

i need to get the ol' xbox hooked up to the net thru this piece of crap... no idea how tho, hehe, know u gotta get a network card or some bollocks like that...

You need that, connect your xbox up to the pc, and then follow the instructions given inside the Live starter kit.

connect the xbox to the pc.... how? :P it's an external modem,  through one of these lovely things

with USB cables all over the fucking shop. it'd also need a wireless network adaptor thingymajig, as the pc is here (dining room) and xbox/tv are way over there (in the living room) :P

Errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrm  :?

the german whore in my flat broke our internet by resetting the modem so i haven't been able to play for a while now. my win ratio is about 54%.

i just plugged it in and it worked, the new slimline ps2's are network ready so you shouldn't need to do anything.

see, thats y i aint on live! yet :P

How long have you had your xbox?.  :mrgreen:

a year, maybe 2? :P

Pffffffffffffffft  :|

Leggett, ask Dave at work tonight how to go about connecting your xbox up to your pc cos ive got a free 2 month subscription to xbox Live you can have.  :)
