ps3 connection problem

[bonza1980]

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.
I’ve been messing around with the internet sharing options trying to bridge connection but to be honest I don’t really know what im doing!

Can someone please advise me?

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

There are diffrent type of ethernet cable its possible you were using the wrong kind thats why Graham has asked probably.

oh right i just used the normal ethernet cable that comes with the ps3, ive got like 10 of these ethernet cables now lol but yh i used one of those...maybe it was the wrong one but you cant go wrong with a router can you...and dont vm do free routers...after i got mine i flogged it online in amazon for 30 quid
