    Hi All,

    I will be getting a PS3 soon and i want to be able to connect it to the internet. My problem is that my only connection to the internet is through a huawei modem with O2.

    Would i be able to run an ethernet cable from the PS3 to my laptop and then connect to the internet?

    ICS might work. Or running a Proxy like Wingate on the Laptop (works much better than MS ICS).

    A Dlink DIR-451 router would be a better solution and definately works. Gives you 4 ethernet ports and WiFi. The USB modem then goes on the Dlink Router.

    Some types of gaming may be useless.

    Even if you could make it work it would suck, you couldn't play games or download stuff with it
