PS2 on Wireless Network?

Has anyone set up their PS2 online using a wireless network? How hard is it to do and what would I need to buy (already have a wireless router)... I don't have a phoneline nearby so thats not an option for me...

Not that hard, you'll need a wireless bridge.

very cool... saw that for 59.99 at amazon... so no problems at all with the setup?

also, has anyone bought those cheap USB Linksys network adapters you can find on ebay? do they work or do I need to buy the Sony one?

I have a D-link Wireless DSL connection running through my house. Will one of those work with both my Xbox and PS2?

yah it works. i have a dlink wireless router g and the ps2 is hooked up to this linksys brand wireless game bridge. linksys makes awesome stuff. this is almost dummy-proof to setup if you know what you're doing. just go into setup and match up the channels on the router to this receiver.

and by the way, $59 on amazon? crap i got ripped off at bestbuy then!!
