    take my computer

    i have a wifi card built into my SFF (small form factor) computer
    also it has a Lan

    say i want to hook up my PS2 to the internet but my router is far away.
    i can bridge the connect so the wlan (wireless) gives the Lan (ethernet) internet and that would give my PS2 internet

    can do the same with PC to PC
