Wireless PS3 Direct To Laptop
July 26, 2008
Is there a way to create a link between my laptop and PS3 without a wireless router for the purpose of streaming and internet (Bell Canada is gay and if there is a way to get their internet to work with my ps3, then please, tell me how to do that… they say I have to use a wireless router, a direct link from modem to ps3 wont work, and I’ve tried it) please help… I need my internet back on my PS3.
The best way to network a ps3 with your laptop is with a router, you don’t need a wireless router you could use a non wireless router and connect it directly to the PS3 via Ethernet cable but you said you wanted to connect to the PS3 directly to your laptop. Some people have had success with connecting their laptop to get the Ps3 online but it’s all trial and error and takes a bit of tinkering to get the setting right.
What you need is a “Crossover Ethernet cable”, you would plug this into the laptop and the PS3 this will bridge the two devices. Then you need to head over to your Windows machine and allow “internet sharing” in the Network Settings. You may also need to configure the network settings on the PS3. If that doesn’t work try using Windows XP Internet Connection Wizard. Basically let the wizard know that you want to connect other computers with your laptop wireless card. There’s a good description here on how to network the PS2 with a laptop and it should work for the PS3 as well http://www.i-hacked.com/content/view/118/62/.
Another possible way to connect the PS3 to your laptop is getting a usb Ethernet adapter, you will also need a built in wireless card in the laptop which I will assume you do. Plug the usb Ethernet adapter to the PS3 and configure your Windows machine to allow “internet sharing”.
