Ok, we have to find the source of this issue.
So, you've tried hooking up your computer with the same scenario (in place of the PS2) and it goes online, no problem?

yep, no problem. Maybe I'm not recieving wifi? I doubt that, although it was closer to the computer then...
ahhhhhhhhhh CONFUSED! The wireless light on the modem is flashing. Is that bad?

hmmm... when lights flash that usually means it's accessing it... is it a steady flash... or is it random-like?? i don't know how else to decribe it at the moment

Is it working yet? I know that's a dumb question right now, but I have to ask just in case...

hmmm....can't say for certain since different modems have different lights. Usually, there is one steady on (meaning that it's connected and it flashing means that it's trying to connect with your provider and hasn't established a connection yet) and another light that flashes, showing that data is transferred back and forth.
So, if your computer hooks up fine, then we can eliminate that it's your connection/router/bridge setup. That leaves us with the ps2. hmmmm....something must not be configured right.

I don't see how, I just popped the adapter in. That should work. I think it's almost certainly the connection. I found out there was a username and password, and I entered it, and it still won't let me on...

Is your setup similar to this?

Exactly, except the modem and the router are one and the same in my case

I'd try resetting the connection and trying it again... just to see if that helps. Procedure to reset your network equipment: 1. Turn off your PS2, your Broadband (Cable/DSL) modem, your router (if you have one) 2. Turn on your modem, and wait until the lights settle to their normal operating positions. If you don't know what this looks like, just wait 60 seconds. 3. Turn on your router, and wait about 30 seconds for it to start up and do it's POST. 4. Turn on your PS2 and run the start up disk. It may not change anything, but sometimes you have ot reset eveything to get it to work.

Is there anything else emitting some sort of frequency that could possibly interfere? *Why am I trying to sound smart?*

Still not working! I don't think there's anything that could interfere, unless for some reason the wifi doesn't reach the back of the house.

I don't suppose you could manage connecting the ps2 directly to your modem with an ethernet cable... (just for testing) That would tell us if there is a problem with interference with the wireless stuff.... All I can say is that we eliminate what's not messed up, and then all that's left will be the culprit! Damn, this is the toughest problem I've had helping get a ps2 connected.

This is killing me. I'm going to try what bugg suggested, but I can't keep it like that, it can only be for a test.
btw I flicked a switch on the back of the bridge to a crossover symbol and the LAN light came on...
