GC: How can I play online with DSL?

[Giiven]

I already know how much a hunter's liscence is, and I bought one of those online thingies that hooks up to the bottom of the gamecube. I have DSL, so what do I need to buy now? -.-

You need to purchase your Hunter's License and if you want to share your DSL connection with your pc/s, then you will need a router as well. That should be it unless the GC is in another room in which case you may want a wireless ethernet bridge (also called wireless game adapter.)

I think you misunderstood what I meant. What I was saying is that if the OP wanted to go online with PSO and still be able to go online with his/her pc/s, then they would need a router. If he/she doesn't care about that, then they could simply plug the BBA into the modem and powercycle. If the modem and/or router is in a different room, then they could purchase a wireless bridge to connect to the gateway (whether it be a wireless modem or router.) That way they wouldn't have to worry about running a long cable from one room to another. On a side note, you can connect your GC to your pc and share the internet connection using ICS (internet connection sharing) but it's a pain and not nearly as stable. Hope that all made sense

If you have a router then you can share the connection between your computer/s and your GC easily. If you share your connection using ICS, it can be a pain (especially if your pc isn't using a wireless connection because then you need 2 NICs (network interface cards.)
