How to Set Up a PS2 on AT&T's DSL Service

The PlayStation 2 is more than just a gaming console. The game console can connect to your AT&T DSL service, which uses an Ethernet cable to link the console to the gateway and quickly transmit high levels of data. In addition to an Ethernet cable, the PlayStation 2 requires the network access disc to install the necessary software for the console. Once installed, the console uses your DSL connection to access the Web.

Things You'll Need

• Ethernet cable
• Network access disc
• 8 mb memory card

Instructions

1. Unplug the DSL gateway's power cable from its power port, and unplug the PlayStation 2. Insert the PlayStation 2 8MB memory card into the memory card slot located on the back of the console.

2. Insert the Ethernet cable into the Ethernet port on the back of the DSL gateway, and insert the opposite end of the Ethernet cable into the PlayStation 2's Ethernet port.

3. Plug the power cable back into the DSL gateway's power port, and wait for all of the gateway's lights to flash. Plug the PlayStation 2 and turn it on.

4. Load the DVD labeled "Network Access Disc" into the PlayStation 2's disc tray.

5. Press "Select" on the PlayStation 2's remote and follow the instructions on your monitor or television to finish the network setup connection process.
