OK, I've got a possible answer to this question, eventually. It relates to the possibility of a router and the settings you need. If this doesn't apply to you, then please ignore what follows.
The address for this FAQ can be found at the following address:

Playing Behind a Router or Internet Connection Sharing

When playing behind a router or a device that has NAT (Network Address Translation) you may need to forward the ports UDP 3658 and UDP 6000 to the IP address of your Playstation 2.

Depending on your router you may need to manually assign an IP address to your Playstation 2 so that it has a fixed "address" that the router can refer to each time. An alternative to port forwarding is placing the IP address of your Playstation 2 into the DMZ of your router - please consult your router documentation or help files for more details on how to do this.

If you are behind a firewall then it may also be necessary to open the folowing ports for both inbound and outbound traffic:
UDP 3658 (Game Play)
TCP 13505 (EA Messenger)
UDP 6000 (Voice Over IP)
TCP Port Range of 10400-10499 (For Server Communication)
UDP 9565/9570 (Ticker)
TCP 80 (HTTP) / TCP 443 (HTTPS)
I hope that helps.
Jay

That should do the trick- the connection time out problem sounds like your router was not allowing the inbound connection. Setting things up as Jason showed above should solve things.

I have a question my connection online is excellent but when I am playing other people the game feels sluggish and my players don't react like they should and they always seem to run faster than me .
Any advice please.

The problem may well be in their connection, not yours. What sort of connection do you have currently, piglette?

Ok, you are on a dialup connection? that may be the problem. You likely got hooked up with someone using a cable or DSL connection.

I honestly haven't had any experience with Belkin routers (more of a D-Link person myself). Can you give a bit more detail about your set up (wired/ wireless connection, type of net access, etc.)?

Hmm.. I have to wonder if the problem may be the router. I haven't used a NetGear either but I have heard some mixed reviews for them.

If you have a different ethernet cable around you might want to switch that first to make sure it isn't the cable's doing.

If that doesn't change anything it might be worth trying hooking the modem directly to the PS2 through the ethernet cable and bypass the router altogether just as a test. You will probably have to adjust some connection settings on the PS2 for this such as a log-in if needed.

Well, the fastest speed for an ethernet cable is about the same as 802.11 B wireless- it will be slower than the speed you get wirelessly over 802.11 G. That would not be an accurate gauge anyway- that is only the speed between your PC and the router, not the actual net access speed from the modem.

Thing is, you should have plenty of speed through that cable to play without lagging on the broadband connection. Only other thing I can think of is the problem is in your internet access itself. Do you use cable or DSL? If it is cable access and a number of people around you use it too the problem may lie in the bandwidth there being shared among all the users. That's one of the disadvantages of cable over DSL, which doesn't get shared. If this is the case there may not be much you can do other than try to play at a different time when not as many in your area would be online.
