Not that I know of but if my memory is correct, you also need a router to play PS2 games online unless you use direct connection and that (but that didnt work for me)

3dluis is right...you would need a router to do that. You're only other option would be to buy a 10 Base T Splitter. That would allow you to have both "connected" at the same time, but you could only use the online capability for one at a time.

you can do it without a router or splitter. You'd need a 2nd NIC in your pc and you'd have to enable ICS (internet connection sharing) and connect the 2nd NIC to your ps2 using a crossover cable.

I agree with WEstar.
It should be no different than when i hooked my Xbox to my PC
All i needed was a crossover cable.
Didn't need a second NIC card at all.
But mine was using a cable modem and not a DSL
you should be able to run the crossover cable directly from your PS2 to the DSL modem like this

the official Sony Plastion site has instructions on how to get everything hooked up.

steimy, that'd be fine if he only wanted to run the ps2 online but, he wants to have both ps2 and pc online simultaneously. I think we went through this with another guy didn't we? (it'd be helpful if we could point this guy to that thread but, I'm too lazy to go searching for it)
