Media Sever/PS3 Networking

wcullen · 2008-05-01 10:14:03

Hi, Is it possible to link my media server to my PS3 directly using the onboard network card on the Sever with a Cat 5 crossover cable and then link the server to my wireless network for internet access using a wireless USB Adapter or will this cause a conflict? Thanks

If you bridge the ethernet Cat5e LAN card with the USB wireless adapter then yes it's possible to get it to work. You'll need to manually set the IP settings on the PS3 to be able to talk to the media server (I presume it's a PC, right?) I wouldn't imagine your pings for online gaming would be too nice however, but it is possible.
