give your computer's ethernet nic a static ip, (like 192.168.2.8), and your ps2's nic, (192.168.2.9).
assuming you connect to your router wirelessly from your computer, make sure that your wireless ip does not have the same numbers in it as your wired. for example, if your wireless ip is 192.168.1.128 then make sure you don't set your wired ips to 192.168.1.1-255

so the setup is something like:
wireless = 192.168.1.128
wired computer = 192.168.2.8
wired ps2 = 192.168.2.9

then your computer takes all the data sent from ps2 (192.168.2.9) to comp (192.168.2.8) and sends it through wireless (192.168.1.128)

192.168.2.9 ---- 192.168.2.8 <---> 192.168.1.128 ---- 192.168.1.1 ---- 192.168.100.10 <---> 97.88.120.113 ---- 97.88.120.1

Wait, are you talking about internet connection sharing? Rocker9375 said that he/she was using a bridged connection. With a bridged connection, the two network connections are merged and share the same IP address, (at least in Windows Xp.) The Playstation 2, PC, and Wireless network are all on the same subnet.

in that case

wireless = 192.168.1.128
wired pc = 192.168.1.128
wired ps2 = 192.168.1.9

you can look at the ethernet port when you have the cord plugged in and you should see a green light if there's a connection between your ps2 and pc. also, cross-over cables don't work

You might have to enable compatibility mode on the wireless NIC. Run a command prompt. Type: netsh bridge show a. That will show a table of network adapters on your computer, and will tell which ones have compatibility mode enabled. Find out the number of the wireless adapter, (we'll call it "#.") Then type netsh bridge set a # e. That will set the wireless network adapter to compatibility mode.
