Can I Connect my PS2 and XBOX to the internet with my PC’s home network, it’s an RJ45 hub? If so how do I do it? Thanks, as I only got an USB ADSL modem

hmmm...im not sure how you would do that, but do report back if you figure out a way that works!

Do you want to be able to share your connection with your Xbox, PS2 and PC simultaneously?

If so, you will need a broadband router that you connect to your DSL, and then those broadband routers usually also have a 5 port hub/switch that you connect other computers/consoles to so they share the connection.

Or just use Internet Connection Sharing that's free and built into all versions of windows later than Win98(including Win98 SE). It's really easy to set up and the only downside is that your PC has to be on any time you want to access the internet with a console.

to set up ics you'll need at least 1 more network card and a crossover cable (depends on whether you want your ps2 and xbox connected at the same time)
install the network card in your pc and connect it to the ps2/xbox with the crossover cable, go into CONTROL PANEL/NETWORK CONNECTIONS and right click your pc's network connection, select properties and click the advanced tab and check ALLOW OTHER NETWORK USERS TO CONNECT THROUGH THIS CONNECTION, you should now be able to connect with your ps2 and xbox but you'll need the pc to be on to connect (it sometimes takes me a couple of attempts to connect with my ps2 depending on what game i'm playing)

if you want both xbox and ps2 connected at the same time then you'll need another network card and crossover cable
