Laptop as Wireless Ethernet Bridge?

[spackletoe]

Can somehow use a Win XP laptop as a wireless ethernet bridge?

Here's my setup. Upstairs in my office I have a Netgear wireless cable modem router with a few desktops attached via wire. Then downstairs (or wherever I want I guess) I have a laptop that's connected wirelessly. I also have a network ready Playstation 2 downstairs.

I'm wondering if I can somhow use the laptop to connect to the net wirelessly, but wire thPS2 to the laptop and "share" the laptop's network connection to the PS2.

Is this possible? I really don't want to shell out $150 for that linksys wireless ethernet bridge!

Thanks!

I think that should work using XP's connection bridging (though I have not heard of many people doing it). Its a messy solution though. Try it and see.
