raza Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 I recently bought this PS3 and now iam willing to share my internet from the computer on it.I have dsl which works through a single port usb modem.Now ps3 has wifi and ethernet options.I donot have any lan card in my pc.I was wonderin what will be the best way to use internet on my ps3 at a nominal price?Is it possible for me to share internet by just connecting a lan card to my pc and connectin it to ps3 through ethernet?Or is there some other way?Plz help me as soon as possible.P.S. I want to share the internet that is use it on both of them at the same time.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bj-kaiser Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 you can stick a lan card into your pc and use windows internet connection sharing, but you will obviously have to turn on your pc when you want to use internet on the ps3. personally i would go and replace that usb modem with a dsl-modem/router-combo (if money allows it).

raza Posted March 24, 2007 Author Share Posted March 24, 2007 suppose I install a lan card in the pc then wat shud I do?can u temme step by step?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bj-kaiser Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 I can only say there is a option in the settings of your Internet connection, where it should say something like 'share this internet connection with ...'. And there should be an article in Windows help, that explains how to setup connection sharing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripken204 Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 (edited) dont use ICS, its crap. you should seriously just get a router, either wireless or wired, it doesnt matter. they dont cost that much. it will also have a built in firewall which will help ur comp from catching viruses and other stuff.

puntoMX Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 Internet Connection Sharing @ripken,You would be supprised to see for how much they sell a xDSL modem with gateway or router.And then there is the question if the ISP acceps it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nitroshift Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 punto, i think ripken was thinking about linking a router with a built-in switch to the dsl modem and share the connection that way. this is actually my set-up at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripken204 Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 nitro is right. punto-your way works but like you said, the isp prolly doesnt support it, or you need to get a special one from them. so all that he should do is:modem->router->comp ->ps3im doing this with my xbox and my comp, not to mention i need a wireless router for 2 other comps..

puntoMX Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 lol, Okay guys, tell me;How are you going to connect USB to a router or switch. If you found one that can do that then let me know and I will order 100 of them directly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripken204 Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 so his modem only supports usb? all of the modems ive ever seen support both usb and ethernet...i think that he should contact his isp and ask for an updated model Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puntoMX Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 i´ve seen it before, the ISP does it when they want that you only connect one computer to the net. Most of the time it comes with the cheapest, let´s say 64-128kbps, connections. Sux big time I know... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nitroshift Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 USB modems suck big time.... And they`re a PITA to set up. That's why I went with a RJ45 modem Had to pay a bit but it's worth every single cent! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raza Posted March 25, 2007 Author Share Posted March 25, 2007 Yah ppl u r right I have a usb modem.So now what should I do???Will I be able to share net by connectin lan on pc n a wire thru that to ps3???That ics??Why does ics suck?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripken204 Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 ics is just a pain to set up and you isp may not even support it, at least mine doesnt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
