You can try setting up ICS on the PC and using a crossover cable from a second NIC there.

You're not using a router? You should really get one and let the router dial in.

You'll have to try Internet Connection Sharing then. Set it up on your PC. You'll need another network card there to connect the PS2.

Go here and search for "crossover":

It sounds like you have too many high-bandwidth USB devices. I would add a PCI USB card (ver. 2.0) and plug some stuff in there.

I would try another brand of card then. Also check it's properties in Device Manager and make sure that Windows is not allowed to shut it down to preserve power. Check all Generic and Root hubs for the same setting.
