If it's a wireless router (which it almost certainly is) then it will be firewalled. Find out which ports are required by your applications then unblock them in the router's control panel.
Go to http://www.portforward.com for advice on specific routers and applications.

So you don't have a router or modem of your own, do you wirelessly break into someone else's broadband?

You will need a switch to share the internet between two devices (e.g. PC and PS2) so either get a 4-port switch or use your router.

Hi, If I understand your posts correctly you get a wireless signal from another location. You have a belkin usb adapter you use with a pc. The only way you can connect with a router is with a wireless adapter like you have. Adding another router will do nothing since it needs a ethernet or usb patch to receive signal. There are wireless access points which will recieve a wireless signal and transmit also but they are horribly expensive and I have never seen one for home use. The easiest way to get online is to run a patch cable from the router downstairs to your router. You will have to configure for DHCP OFF. so you don't get conflicts....I believe this is the cheapest way to solve your problem.

If you are not allowed cabled access to the router downstairs, you will have to get a switch of your own, and connect your PC and PS2 to it.

Why not....your his tenant! I assume the internet is part of the arrangement that you are paying for!! You can also try a Super G wireless adapter which has extended range and 108mbs transmission.
The patch cable is the best and cheapest........good luck

How close is your PC to your PS2? Could always just have that Wireless adapter plugged into your PC via USB than your PS2 connected to PC via Ethernet and just bridge the connections.
