It's easy as hell to set up. I was shocked. I thought I'd get a ton of error messages, have to call 800 numbers, and all kinds of junk. Nope, plugged my Cat5 cable into the adapter, and bang... I registered and I've been playing Socom II like crazy. It's a hell of a lot of fun.

Haha, I had like a 9 year old kid on my squad today and he was kicking some serious ass. If you really want to have fun buy the headset. The headset makes the game twice as good just being able to hear game plans from your team mates and junk like that.

The adapter runs for about 30 bucks. As does the head set. All together you're spending a good bit of money.

Adapter: 30 Bucks
Game: 50 Bucks
Head Set: 30 Bucks
Router: 35 bucks +
CAT5 Cable: 10 Bucks

You need a router if you want to be connected to the net using both your PS2 and your computer. If you don't have one you'll have to disconnect your cable back and forth from the PS2 to the Comp.

I didn't need the extra cable. If your modem has a Cat5 cable on it (cable with big things on the end that looks like phone jacks) then you don't need to buy the cable. But you'll probably need one if you're going to get a router. So hey, what the hell? I think it's worth every penny though. I had a blast.
