How to Connect a PS2 Slim to the Internet

One of the downsides to having an older model PlayStation 2 (PS2) is that a network adapter must be purchased in order to play games online. This problem disappeared with the release of the PS2 Slim. Not only is the Slim console smaller, but it comes with a built-in network adapter that allows for easy access to any modem. As long as you have the right equipment, connecting your PS2 Slim to the Internet is an easy process.

Things You'll Need

Ethernet cable
Modem (connected to the Internet)
8 Megabyte PS2 memory card

Instructions

- 1
  Connect one end of your Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port on the back side of your PS2 Slim.

  Connect the other end of your Ethernet cable to an available Ethernet port on your modem.
- 3
  Insert an 8 MB PS2 Memory Card into an available Memory Card slot on your PS2. Insert your Internet-compatible PS2 game into the PS2. The system should automatically power on once you insert the disc.
