Hi all i am wanting to get my Ps2 online, i have a network and a spare cable to plug it in with, i connect to the internet through a modem router on my network, do i need to forward some ports, or do i just connect the cable and it will work??

Thanks in advance Tom

It all depends on what your setup is like. Usually it's best to forward ports. I used to play Everquest on the PS2 and two things that made a big difference were forwarding the correct ports and making sure the router firmware is up to date. I used to get bounced every 15 minutes like clockwork until I updated the firmware then I never had the issue.
