fair play to guil07 for actually reading my posts!

[guil07]

did ya get it sorted yet

[guil07]

if ya havent try this programs>accesories>communications>network setup wizard and select connect through this computer and it should set it up properly

[neu-york]

no, keep changing settings and no matter what i do the test fails.


if i go to local network, it says limited connetivity.

i even rang the ps help line and said i was getting a dns error and was just told to contact 3g provider for dns settings...

still don't know what to put in for dns, have tried using the laptops ip, the vodafone dns's, tried just primary, primary and secondary etc etc, wish i knew what settings i had correct so that i could narrow it down

[guil07]

try what i said above and then on the ps3 auto detect settings should work

[G_O_L_D]

my appologies i was unaware it was a 3g vodafone card , shesh that must cost you a fortune! anyway good luck with the whole internet share on it! hopefully see you online gaming soon. see you on warhawk hopefully!

have you looked at the settings on the router? firewall blocking the connection to the ps3 maybe?

(maybe a stupid answer, but you never no :P )

i have vodafone 3g broadband on my laptop.

i have internet connection sharing turned on on the vodafone network.

i have given the ps3 an ip and used the routers ip as the 'default router' and as the primary dns. i have secondary dns as all zeros.

when i test connection it fails every time.

i have both my ps3 and laptop plugged into a router.
the router is an eircom netopia router that's no longer used for dsl.

i also have a 4port hub if neccessary.

does anyone know what i need to do here? do i have to do something with ports?
