You can configure a bridged network in Ubuntu too. I have no personal experience but the documentation is here:

A router between with the connection coming out will be cheaper and easier as the PC will need to be running for the console to have web access, this is a lot of power compared to the average home-grade router which uses hardly any. It is also significantly easier to setup as the router will provide DHCP and setup both systems for you.

Can you help with this problem?
