In Home Networking of PS2

[RSXSpeedDemon]

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.

youll need 3 n/a 3 of the same game , a router and set up lan on each ps2 game

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.

set up as you would normaly to play online but select lan on all three and then youll pick up all three on the lan network

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.

ermmmmm right lagg isue ,,,, 16 players on 1 map depending on their connection eg 56k and he hosts then you get lagg (depends on other players connection) i have had 2 on my router b4 and has been fine .. i guess youll find out he he . as fro dnas i think it still checks for it on lan so you will need to patch . and the routers part cant help ya ??? give it a go

I have the D-Link wireless router...I assume it would have similar characteristics. Thanks.
