If by "it", you mean your wireless router that gives you your internet connection, then yes.
If, and I think this is what you probably meant, that you want to plug your PS2 into your laptop, then it's not that simple.
You would need to look at enabling Internet Connection Sharing for the wireless port in the first instance. Then would have to set up the wired ethernet port manually so it could talk to the PS2 and play with settings until everything worked. I'm not sure that ICS would even do the job.

You haven't said how your laptop gets its access to the 'net - is it talking to a router of some sort? That would make things considerably easier (you could take the laptop out of the equation).
