I have read the entire TECH SUPPORT FAQ and I still have a question.

I run my Internet through a D-Link router and it works fine. Unfourtunatly I have to move my gamecube away from the router, to the other side of my house. My router is a wireless router witch take a signal and sends it to my computer where my gamecube now sits next to. I have windows xp and i was wondering if i bought a NIC card and a cross over cable if i will be able to access the PSO's online mode. I am asking this because I would like to know before i go and buy what i need and have a chance of wasting my money. If anyone can help me out thanx!

Buy a fifty foot either net cable. It hooks in to your main router base to your gamecube broadband modem and doesnt cause problems.

it should work using internet conection sharing, most P.Cs have Network cards built in to the mother boards, if yours doesnt there not that expensive.
your other alternative would be to use a wireless bridge, although these can be expensive.

This would do if you have a wireless router:

Like Rich said, it is pretty expensive.
