Get a straight through cable for both PS2s and your PC and just connect them to the router, should be as simple as that. Don't forget to set the IP stuff for your PS2 though
that i knew but i dont get any internet connection , the led indicating the internet connection is on and well , it should work but i cant acess internet at all not even my router taping 192.168.0.1
You mean you can't connect to the internet even with your PC? If that's the case you'd need to be looking somewhere else first for help, this forum is for PS2...
Also what are you trying to do with the PS2s/router? Play online games? I don't play online games but I think most of them should have a place where you can configure your network adaptor. But from the sound of it you should be spending more time learning the basics of how a router works before you tackle PS2, that'll help

i dont want to sound dissrespectfull but im trying to get help on a PS2 matter and yes im trying to play online with my cousin on Socom 3 he brought his PS2 and i want to connect his too.
To connect my PS2 i just pull out the ethernet cable of the device linkified bellow and plug the PS2 cable but then i dont have a PC connection to internet anymore.
Hmm... you are not playing a backup copy of the game are you? you should have a network access disc, have you tried configuring your PS2 with that?
Also I'm not sure what your settings for the router is, but sometimes you can configure your router so that only devices with registered MAC address can access it... it's not a problem with the internet settings on the router if you can access the net with your PC that's for sure
No its not a backup and i dont have problems configuring my PS2.
I have troubles configuring this to have a internet connection and then connect 2 PS2 to it:

Ok let me get this straight, so can you use the router in the link to connect to the internet with your PC?
My understanding at the moment is that:
- You can connect to the internet with your PC
- Using the same router, you cannot connect to the internet with your PS2
Have you configured the IP address, subnet mask, gateway etc on your PS2 using the game??

BUT i cant connect 2 PS2 to it( ONLY 1 PS2 by removing the ethernet cable and plug in the PS2 cable) ....so i also have this with multiple ethernet ports where i can connect the PC and 2 PS2:

but the problem is that i cant connect it to have a internet connection.
Can i connect the device in the first link to the router on the second link?
So the first link is a single port internet router, while the second is a 4 port router?
Well for the problem with configuring the 4 port router, you'll be better off taking it to the PC section, as its a general PC question. Also have a look at your ISP website they should have information on configuring the router for internet connection.
But looking at the 4 port router, you SHOULD be able to use the single port router to connect to the internet, the connect the two routers together with an ethernet cable (both cross over and straight through should work), then connect the 3 devices (PC + 2 PS2s) to the 4 port router and use the 4 port router as a network hub rather than an internet router.
When I first went online, I just unpluged the ethernet cable from the back of my pc and pluged it into my ps2 (switched my adsl router off first). Put my network acsses disc in and followed the prompts, setup account etc(no it doesnt cost anything) and away I went, lots of fun. As far as I understand you cant play any game online without first setting up a central station handle, you need a network acsses disc to do this.
