What are you trying to say? Please elaborate or re-phrase the question if my answer is wrong. A hub is designed to connect a PC to the net so why would it not work?

Well I'm running off a 4-port Linksys switch which works great. Only set me back around $60 Canadian.

i believe as long as you have a pc connected to the internet on one of your hub ports, it should work. i think thats how a hub and a router differ. you can just hook a modem to a router and all the machines on your network can access the internet. so sighn one of your pcs on your network to the internet, and hook annother hub port to the ps2 and give it a go. ps2's are pretty good at self configuring.
nikon and martinviking sceme to be the mose capable at home networking, maybe thell correct me if needed.

ok, i just read annother one of your posts, and your on 56k. so wait till someone more experienced that me replys here before you run out and get a net adapter. this is all armchair knowlege on my part. i own neither a router nor a hub.

All you need wattsy is a crossover cable and a spare network card in your computer. A crossover cable can be bought for a few dollers. Its just a different kind of ethernet cable. So you have to have a free network card in your computer, the crossover cable connecting your PS2 to the network card in your PC, and Internet Connection Sharing setup.

Going to take some research and some troubleshooting to get it to work.
