Networking
You can enjoy online games by connecting the PlayStation®2 console to a
network.
Hints
• Games that require use of the internal hard disk drive (for PlayStation®2) are not
compatible with this console. Contact SCEA Consumer Services via our Web site
at http://www.us.playstation.com or call 1-800-345-7669.
• There is no need to purchase the network adaptor (for PlayStation
®2) (sold
separately). This console has a built-in network connector to allow connection to a
broadband network.
To connect to a network and to create network settings, you will need the
following:
• A network adaptor compatible PlayStation
®2 game
• Broadband Internet service
• A commercially available Ethernet cable
• A memory card (8MB) (for PlayStation
®2) (sold separately)
Hints
• Ethernet cables can be of either straight-thru or crossover types. In most cases, a
straight-thru type cable can be used to connect a PlayStation
®2 console to a
network. Depending on the network device being used, a crossover type cable may
be required. For details, refer to the instructions supplied with the network device.
• Some titles may not require a memory card (8MB) (for PlayStation
®2) to access
online content.
This model of the PlayStation®2 console supports broadband connection.
See "Connecting with an Ethernet cable" ( page 37) for basic setup
instructions.
