In Home Networking of PS2

Ok guys. I own 3 Playstation 2's. Is there some way to network them all together? So, if I play an online enabled game...I could play them through my network, instead of actually being online? Does this make sense? Is it possible? Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

I do have 3 PS2's, 3 of the same game (well, friends do), and 3 Network Adapters. I have a wireless router too. But, I want to know how to have them all set up to work together. Meaning....I want to act like I'm logging on to play the game online....but do not actually go online with it. It would just be playing on an in home network. Is this possible? Thanks in advance.

Great!! I'll give it a try. Next questions. Will there be less lag by doing it this way? Also, with a wireless router, is there a limit to the amount of units you can put onto 1 router? Meaning, if I bought a couple of those wirless game adapters, can I put say 5 PS2's onto 1 router? Or are they limited to only 4? Last question....if I were to make a legal backup of one of my "online enabled" games, and play it through the home network....would it work? I mean, does the whole DNAS issue play a role in this setup? Thanks so much for all your help.
