You need to have 5 slim PS2s (or fat PS2s with network adapter), 5 copies of GT4, network cables, and a switch/hub.

What issues are you having? We need more info to be able to help you.

add 5 TV's on that list..,
 
The network adaptor for the fat-PS2 is a plug in unit that fits in the back of your PS2, and has an RJ-45 port for an ethernet cable.

It looks like the picture in this article.

If the back of your PS2 doesn't look like that, then you have 2 options:

1) buy the adaptor (quite hard as they're not made anymore)
2) trade in Fat-PS2 for a new slimline model which has a built-in RJ-45 port.

There's a few of us here, Sjaak68, Famine and myself who organise LAN parties on a fairly regular basis, and are very familiar with the 6 Player LAN setup.

You will need:

6 x PS2 with RJ-45 port.
6 x controllers
6 x memory cards with the 30 favourite cars selected (you can only race cars in "Favourites" in LAN mode)
6 x TVs.
6 x ethernet (RJ-45) cables.
1 x 6 (or more) port ethernet switch.
Lots & lots of power outlets, especially if running with G25/DFP setups too!

Check our Local Gatherings forum for more details on setups, and what it should look like when you're ready to race!
Properly executed it should resemble something like this.

Why are you assuming he needs 5 of everything?
As far as I saw, he only mentioned more than 2 players.

If anyone else is interested in a thorough GT4 LAN guide, just click the link in my sig.

Because he created 2 topics on the same subject. The other one was deleted as we didn't need both. The deleted one was called "5 player race".
