Okey dokey. First, you'll need to get an ethernet cable and hardwire it to where you'll be playing. Second, enjoy. DSL works fine, as far as I know. And I don't reccomend SOCOM now. Everyone cheats online via Gameshark. It's completely ruined. Those few who still play are either cheaters or noobies who will get frustrated very soon and hate the game. Just wait for the second SOCOM, which will take care of that problem though.
