How to Use a PS2 Network Adapter Without a Disc

The Sony PlayStation 2 allows gamers the ability to connect to a local Internet access port and play video games online with other individuals. If you have a home-based Ethernet network and are looking to add a port to your PS2, you need the PS2 Network Adapter. This connects directly to the PS2 system and, unlike a standard computer system, does not require the assistance of an installation disc to function properly.
