If your network adaptor is joining an existing mini home network, things should be much more straight forward. Using a new known good non cross-over ethernet cable, plug the N.A into an empty port on your router. In the case of LINKSYS, please be aware that the UPLINK port is also PORT 1, so if you are using either of those, then you'll need to plug the PS2 into a higher free port!
If you know your router is offering DHCP to your home (for example, if your PC is setup to find an IP address automatically), then you can follow the DHCP setup on your network adaptor setup program.
If your PC has manually allocated an address, for example, 192.168.1.2 or something, then *manually* setup the adaptor to the next higher IP Address, being carefull to set the netmask and DNS server addresses and default gateway the same was as your PC was setup.
Common choices are:
IP address: 192.168.1.2
Netmask: 255.255.255.0
DNS server 1: (whatever your ISP supplied)
DNS server 2: (whatever your ISP supplied)
Default gateway: 192.168.1.1 (where the linksys or other router is)
Ok at this point, at the very LEAST, the network setup portion of the process on the PS2 should go through cleanly and you should be able to save a "named" configuration to your memory card.
It only remains to try games..
