Your experience with the PS3 might be different, but with the (older

The SB will only allow you to enable bridging if it can detect activity
on the Ethernet port while doing the configuration. So to enable
bridging, I would have to boot a game and startup network play, then
try to configure bridging before the game timed out.
A small switch would have probably made things easier and removed the
need for a cross-over cable.
I really appreciate that response. I just did get a Squeezebox and
tried to use the bridging with an old PS/2 and could not get it to
work. Went and bought the crossover cable and still couldn't get it to
work. I think what you describe above is probably why. Kind of a
bummer, I had hoped it was easier :(
Couldn't you put a cheap switch in between the two? The SB will probably
detect that as an active connection and go into bridge mode.
