My ISP (roadrunner) will not let more than one device at a time use it's connection. I've read that a router will allow me to have my computer and the PS2 online at the same time. I already have a 4-port hub that I was using to share the connection before roadrunner stopped it.

So, if i get a cheap router (

if you buy a router you would plug the cable modem, computer, and ps2 into it.

if you use your hub just plug the cable modem into your computer and enable internet connection sharing in Windows on that connection, if you use windows of course.
then get another network card for the pc and connect it to the hub.
Plug the PS2 into the hub and it will get all the info from your windows computer.

On a similar note, I would like to share my DSL connection with my PS2. Can I go wireless? I've never looked into this, so I'm not sure how to set it up. I know I'll have to get a router, but what else will I have to do?

I am not sure this is possible right now. Normally you would buy a wireless router and then buy the network adapters for each device you want to connect. Since you are using the PS2 network adapter and it is not wireless I would say you will probably have to wait until someone comes up with a good product to do this.

Thanks! I don't have any more open expansion slots, so I'll have to get a router. I've seen some in this week's ads for ~30.00 after rebate. Is that a good deal?

Yes that D-Link is an excellent deal.
