Just got this bright idea earlier when I was itching to buy this .Linksys game adapter at Fry's. Is it possible to use a wireless laptop as a bridge for a PS2 network adapter? I'm thinking that there should be a way to use the spare ethernet jack on my wireless laptop for sharing its internet connection with the PS2 network adapter.
Has anyone tried this? I'm itching to try this but I'm getting my PS2 fixed right now. I'm thinking just bridge my Wireless connection to the ethernet LAN connection and just plug a patch or crossover cable to the PS2 network adapter and then I should be able to play online through the Wireless Laptop. This is where the plug and play scheme should come in handy.:)

Sounds fine to me, XP allows easy bridging of network adapters, and there is no reason to think you can't logically bridge to physical networks. Shouldn't be any different from bridging another WiFi client onto the wired network...

good luck :)
