i dont really understand ur question. i interepreted if u can use the multi tap online and u cant. sorry if i understood the question wrong.

guess my question was a little confusing, Jyst how the using the online set up for ps2 work. The network adapter. Does it plug directly into the wall phone line or the computer. Do u need to download things on the computer for patches ect. or is it all acceible ont the tv.

Basically how does the network adapter work!?

I cant answer it nearly as good as others but I'll try

:

You screw in (with your thumbs, its very easy) the network adaptor into the back of your ps2. Then you get that special cable, and one end goes into adaptor, and other end goes into modem/router/jack in the wall....w/e. Insert the disk that came with adaptor...god I havn't done this in a while....and I think choose automatic configuration (thats what I did anyway) Then it should be all ready

Every patch is downloaded onto your memory card while are going online. You just sit there and wait for it to finish, then log on. You dont do it over the computer.

Sorry for the very horrid job at trying to help you, but I cant remember exactly what to do....thats....mostly right though I think...

thanks alot that answered my question. I didnt need to call sony, i dont even have one yet, just looking for a little informantion

it comes with a cd-rom which tells u how to set it up. i set it up in ten minutes, with the help of the disc. cause my dad did all the wiring way before i got the actual adapter.

Hate to bust your bubble, but you can't play SOCOM 2 on a dialup connection. You need broadband.

lol yea that was gonna be my reply too once i read the phone line thing, and a little tip for you zakk if ur a noob u will get owned so i suggest u go to ensighns only wen u play, after u get better than u can move on to the big boys. to me oneplayer is nothing like multiplayer, oh well that's just me.

dude ill play where ever i want. Just a game. Looks like soccoom 2 will also be full of people who take it way to seriously...

and i have a dsl connection, using aol, i dont mid lag but how would i plug it into that, bakc of the computer ?

But all aside would the wall jack work like if wnated 2 bring it to someones house.
