I am planning on setting up a wireless network, at home, to take advantage of the soon-to-be released Playstation 2 (PS2) network adapter (which has an ethernet cable port).
Please advise on what hardware I'll need to purchase (feel free to make recommendations), what issues I'll need to be aware of (i.e. security, encrypting, etc), and brief/general setup instructions.
My system configuration:
WinXP Pro
DSL Modem
Software Firewall
1.2 Ghz AMD Thunderbird
256Kb RAM
NIC card
I live in an apartment with hundreds of neighbors and wireless phones(I'm assuming this may be an issue) within 50 yards of this network.
Also, does my PC need to be on in order for the PS2 to use this network?
