    What exactly is it you're looking for? If you want something that lets you network over USB, you can get a PC Linq cable, but it only supports file transfer rather than direct networking I think.

    So what you're saying is, you use a USB modem attached to your PC, but you need a network cable to play PS2 online? If that's correct then there is no adapter, that's what routers are for.

    As much as it annoyed you, it's unsurprising since no such thing exists. You can't do it that way. You have to attach that to your PC, then buy a network router or switch, plug both your PC and PS2 into that. Then you'll get your PS2 online.

    I've not doneit personally, but here's how I'd go about doing it:

    Start->Control Panel
    Network connections
    right click and go properties on the network connection you RECEIVE the internet on (for example Wireless Network Connection), then go to Advanced, then tick the box that says "Allow other network users to connect through this computer's Internet connection" - in the drop down box that reads "Select a private network connection", select the connection that is your router (for example Local Area Connection). Go OK. Now make sure your PC is attached to port #1 on the router, then attach the PS2 to port #2.

    try that, if still no luck you may need to use WAN or get a dedicated switch.
