PS2 / ICS / Router

I am wondering if it is possible to get my playstation 2 online by the following method. I have the internet going from the modem to a router DOWNSTAIRS, and it sends the internet to the upstairs in the same room as the ps2. There is a wireless pci card in the computer. I want to know if i can set up Internet Connetion Sharing and hook my ps2 up to my computer. I know you can do that when the internet goes directly into your computer, but is it possible when its a wireless connnection from a router? Thanks.

No. It will not work. You will need to connect directly to the router. Either via cabling or wireless device.
