Very little stands between you and a living, breathing network of likeminded gamers. Here's what you'll need to get online and join the fun.


To become part of the ever-growing PlayStation 2 network gaming community, you'll need a few things if you want to join the fray quickly and easily.





1. An Ethernet broadband Internet connection of at least 512Kbps. If you haven't got a broadband connection yet, simply contact your local telephone company, Internet Service Provider (ISP) or cable company for details on getting hooked up to broadband.





Mention that you intend to use the connection for PlayStation 2 network gaming, since this will allow the service provider to advise you on the most suitable package for your needs. It's also worth asking if they can supply you with, or recommend, an Ethernet enabled modem (or modem/router, if you plan on sharing your connection with a computer).





2. A broadband modem. Preferably with an Ethernet connection. Your ISP may be able to recommend a suitable Ethernet enabled modem solution.





3. A network cable. Sometimes called an Ethernet cable. If this means nothing to you, don't worry, it's just a simple connector cable, which joins your PlayStation 2 to your broadband modem/router.





4. A PlayStation 2 with an built-in network connector or external Network Adaptor (Ethernet) (for PlayStation 2). If your PlayStation 2 has a port labelled 'Network' on the back, then you're set. Once you have installed the Network Adaptor, your PlayStation 2 will be network-ready.





5. A Memory Card (8MB) (for PlayStation 2) with at least 94 KB of free space.





6. A Network Access Code.





Your Network Access Code is the number shown on the back of your console's registration booklet and looks something like this: 1234567-8912345.





If your PlayStation 2 does not have a built-in network connector, you should purchase a separate Network Adaptor (Ethernet) (for PlayStation 2).





Most network ready games will guide you through the process of setting up your network connection or you can contact your local SCEE Customer Services department (contact numbers can be found in your users documentation or the back of all games manuals) to obtain a Network Access Disc.





7. Make a note of your PlayStation 2's model and serial number. These numbers are located on your console. You need both numbers to complete your registration. If you have a PlayStation 2 with an external Network Adaptor (Ethernet) (for PlayStation 2), this information should be noted down before installing the Network Adaptor.





Once you've got everything listed above, it's simply a matter of putting it all together.





Follow the above steps and you should be up and running in no time at all.
