If I get the add-on ethernet for the PS2, do I have to subscribe to something to be able to play across the internet?
Anything special have to be done to support a broad-band connection thru a router?
No subscription required... You just have to run the Xlink software on a PC. Being connected through a router helps, actually, but you may need forward a UDP port to your PC. I'll test more thoroughly soon - with any luck, actually connecting to someone - and then I'll know more. Hopefully Dave04 will confirm that the Netgear FA120 USB Ethernet adapter works...Originally Posted by sammm

Is this the Xlink software you speak of?

Yup. Did you find that link at the start of this thread?

TC and I established our GT4 Xlink connection tonight!Works great if you don't mind really laggggggggggggggy video.
Back to the drawing board we go.
Do you think this is because you are bouncing packets through a server in the UK?Works great if you don't mind really laggggggggggggggy video.

The first time we tried it, I was connected in Utah somewhere. The second time I was in Australia. Both connections sucked to say the least!Do you think this is because you are bouncing packets through a server in the UK?Works great if you don't mind really laggggggggggggggy video.
The "server in Australia" isn't really relevant. Those servers are only helpers. The games are played peer to peer.
