Internet on PS2

[soonerz32]

I have the ps2 version of ffxi in the mail now, should be in 2marrow. i hav a couple of questions as 2 how i would connect to the internet. i already own the ps2 network adaptor to plug the internet into, and my original plan was to just unplug the cord that connects to my xbox live and put it into my ps2. but the cord for the xbox is larger than the one for the ps2. we hav dsl and i need a way 2 run a bigger cord(sorry for bad termanology) from my router to the smaller fone like input on the playstaion. any ideas?

On the back of the PS2 network adapter there should be a yellow sticker. One with a pretty bad picture of a phone crossed out on it. Take it off, that's where you plug your DSL line into.

ok i have my internal harddrive with ffxi on the way in the mail, and hav my network adapter with the internet cord already up. but after looking at this page (http://www.ffxionline.com/forums/art...rticle&artid=9) it seems that i have the completly wrong set. is this just an earlier version of the smame thing that i got, because i do not see an expansion bay on that ps2

That's the Japanese PS2/HDD/Network adapter. So long as you don't have one of those slim PS2's you're set.

That's a Japanese launch model PS2. The first three models of Japanese PS2 had PCMCIA slots instead of Expansion Bays, and used external HDDs. the fourth model and later, which was our launch model, has an Expansion Bay and uses an internal HDD.

The article you linked to was for setup of a Japanese system, and when this forum launched, that was the most common type of Japanese system, so that was the most in need of instruction.
