ps3 connection problem

Hi, im having problems connecting my PS3 to the internet!

I have a '3' mobile broadband dongle connected to my PC via a USB connector, then an Ethernet connection from the motherboard to my PS3.
IÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã¢â€žÂ¢ve been messing around with the internet sharing options trying to bridge connection but to be honest I donÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã¢â€žÂ¢t really know what im doing!

Can someone please advise me?

Re: ps3 connection problem

I wouldn't even bother connecting your PS3 via Wireless Broadband if you're intent on gaming as the pings will be atrocious.

I dont know much about '3' but have you ried turning everything off first as the may be on your lap top settings. I had the same problem. Turn your router of and reconnect.

He's not running it via a router, he's trying to use Internet Connection sharing to share a 3G Broadband adaptor
