Ok, I know there are several posters out there who are technical, deal with computers and electronics on a regular basis...so, I'm taking a chance that someone can give me the lowdown on hooking my Playstation2 up to the internet so I can play online. Yes, I am aware there are probably better forums to discuss this in but, I don't want to join them and I consider folks here my friends. I also realize that quite possibly that I am the only one in this forum that likes to kill time shooting StromTroopers. <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I currently have a Motorola Digital Cable modem hooked up to my computer...my question is how does this online play work? Do I really need a wireless router to hook up the playstation? Would the only benefit to it be that I didn't have to hook and unhook from the computer? How does that work? I consider myself pretty smart, but I don't want to have to buy something I really don't need.

Surely someone out there likes to kill some time with hand eye coordination that can help me?
