• Cheap/Easy way to connect PS2 and computer via ethernet?
    1 replies, posted
So I have my PS2 Online hooked up and I really love playing it. However, everytime I want to play, I have to disconnect the ethernet cord from my PC to plug it into my PS2, rendering me unable to listen to my Last.Fm while playing games. I've been looking into a couple of hubs/switches, but I'm not experienced with them so I'm not sure about anything about them. I can't run another 25ft. ethernet cable from my router to the upstairs. Here's a few I've looked at, I don't have the money to buy a 10/100/1000 Gigabit switch, and even so I don't think I've got that good of a connection that the Gigabit connection is necessary. Roughly 30-40 dollars is my budget [b]Dynex 5-port 10/100 Ethernet Switch - $30[/b] [url]http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Dynex%26%23174%3B+-+5-Port+10/100+Ethernet+Switch/7169244.p?id=1110266457435&skuId=7169244[/url] [b]D0Link 4-port 10/100 Ethernet Switch - #14[/b] (I'm only hesitant to order from Newegg because of shipping, not to mention I don't have a credit card) [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833127085[/url] Anybody use one of these/can give me any insight on these things? Oh and just to be clear I've got plenty of extra Ethernet cables to use. Cheers.
All that kind stuff from BestBuy is overpriced however the problem is that after shipping and tax that 4 port DLink ends up costing almost as much as that 5 port Dynex. I'd go with the 5 Port Dynex from BestBuy, just because with tax and shipping Newegg isn't really much of a deal especially if there is something wrong with it and you need to get it exchanged.
