netwoking a ps2 without wireles adaptator - HELP

Jul 21, 2005 3:52AM PDT

hi, i am trying to connect my ps2 to my wireless network, the poblem is that my router is very far from my room where the ps2 is located, my computer that is in my room has a directional antena and functions on a boosted 802.11g network at 108mbs, this is because i barelay had a very weak signal. i do not want to put a wireless game adaptator on the ps2 because i know the signal will not be strong enough. there is almost no way to bring a wire from one side of the house to my room. what i am hoping to be able to do is to plug my ps2 into my computer and make it use my computer's networking hardware and settings, where i am stumped is how to get the computer (hp media center pc with pentium d 830 and d-link pci wireless network adaptator, running on windows media center 2005) to recognize the ps2. any help will be greatly appreciated.
