playstaion 2 to internet

[Gondric]

i was wondering what was the easiest way to connect a ps2 the the internet games thing.
ive heard that you can connect it to your computer and run it on your computer. would i do this by getting a double ended USB cord and plug it into the comp and the PS2.
I know how to use the network adapter but ive looked on the internet and it would be hard to do (no internet connections around my PS2)
So whats the easierst/cheapest way to connect a PS2 to the internet.

Network Adapter > Router with Port forwarding specific to your games, or straight to modem.  If you can reach a computer you should be able to get a slightly longer network cable to run to the PS2.

I haven't tried double ended USB to my computer, but i dont really see how that could be better for connection, unless you are trying to cheat running secondaries, or create a lag switch for FPS gaming.
