How hard is it to connect a PS2 to a wireless network?
My son wants me to do this for him for Christmas and I'm not sure how challenging this will be. I'm fairly technically inclined when it comes to software and I have fixed my own PCs before but I'm totally clueless about networking.

I have Verizon DSL and they don't support this set-up so I can't get instructions from them. I have found some info on a PS2 site.

Has anyone connected a PS2 to a wireless Verizon DSL network?

1. I think you need a special adapter for the PS2

2. Yep, I know I need a network adapter but from what little
I've been reading it sounds like I might(?) have to reconfigure the router. I don't know how complicated this is.

3. Anything wireless can be a pain in the ass unless you know what to do
It might go simply, but if it doesn't, you might be screwed.
