Yes I have done it before in windows XP years ago, you need a crossover cable for direct connection or a small switch if you use a straight through cable. Then, on the PC with a wireless, open the Network Connections folder, highlight the two adapters, right click on them and from the pop menu select bridge connection. All that's left if getting the ip addresses right, if you have a dhcp server the other PC will automatically get the IP address.

My ps3 connection gets worse when more than one laptop is in use why is this?
I will answer this using an example.Your Internet connection comes into your house at 100%. If more then 1 computer is connected to the same connection, this connection will be divided equally over the amount of computers.For instance if there are 4 computers connected to your Internet, each computer will get 25% of that connection, therefore it is not working at its full capacity and causing "lag" or connection issues.EDIT: A computer can also be a console using the Internet, such as a PS3, Xbox etcetera.
Do you need a router for the PS3 if the internet is wiredless?
PS3 has the ability to have a wireless connection or a wired connection to the internet. It does not have wireless internet, you must purchase a broadband internet service. Many people already have broadband internet service for a PC and need a router to allow them to connect the PS3. A router will allow two or more items to be connected to the internet service. A wireless router will allow them to connect wirelessly if they both have a wireless connection capability like the PS3 and also allow them to be connected with an ethernet cable for a wired connection.

Where is a wireless router connected to a computer or modem?
A wireless router will usually be connected directly to a high speed modem between the modem and any other device. This allows the router to correctly pass internet requests from the local network (computers connected wirelessly or to a standard port) to the ISP (the high speed modem connected to the Internet port). Connecting a wireless router to a computer would be unusual but it could function if connected to the network port on the computer provided the router-computer connection was properly configured. In this case the computer would have to be configured to route.
