I'd just buy a router. They're dead cheap and better in the long term.

Get a DSL/Cable router, but not and ADSL router.

You'll need a CAT5 ethernet cable to go from the STB to the router, and then CAT5 cables from the router to the PC and the PS2. All connect at the same time.

The router will also act as a hardware firewall, much better than firewalls you have in Windows.
