Is this scenario possible?

Heh, Im waiting for about the month before till the month after when PS2/GC/XBox go online and the cable people getting swamped with phone calls from people asking how to hook up their console and whatnot.

..and all of its ports are full. it has 3 thingies.

That means installing a router, sharing one IP, and paying for only one account is really easy. You would just have to replace that DigiTap with a Router, and you would be set.

But you may not want to mess with what's working. So it comes back to your question in the beginning; just buy a splitter, which I think may mean a hub. So if you have to buy a hub (which would have multiple ports), just take the wire going to your PC and plug it into the hub, and then plug in your PC, PS2, and GCN into the hub. You should be all set then, but, just to repeat, you won't be able to share the internet between the one PC and your PS2/GCN at the same time.

barneyis666 is the PM answer

BTW, since you won't be able to share the internet at the same time anyway unless you mess around with a router, you could just skip buying a splitter/hub. Instead, you could just buy one extra wire (or use the wire going from the DigiTap to your PC if it's long enough) and simply plug in the PC or GCN or PS2 as you need to. It would be more of a hassle, but it would be cheaper. Or you could buy two more wires for the PS2 and GCN and just have them ready to be plugged in when you need them; that would still be a lot cheaper than buying a hub.
