Ps3 + Mobile Broadband (Vodafone)

Ok Leeg17 I saw the issue you were having with the latest Vodafone Mobile Connect software. So you werent crazy afterall.
See the document below for changing automatically managed connections to OFF.
Any questions let me know.

Thanks again for the help Edd, I tried your method, and got this:
1. Before LAN cable is connected:


2: As LAN cable is connected (resembles the expected end result, as it's my 3rd time trying) :


3: LAN cable is removed (Modem btw is in pic):


4: Settings changed (LAN cable is re-inserted before they're changed):


5: LAN cable is removed again:


6: LAN cable is re-inserted:


7: At this stage I try and go online on the computer, and websites won't work, and I try to test the connection on the laptop, and the Ip address test times out -- This might be the problem stage .. As I do this ip address test, this happens:



Sorry for the big post
I'm starting to think that gateway adaptor thingy might be the only option, but it's like e70 :eek:

AT stage 6 try and go to the PS3 and go through the internet connection wizard.
I know it says you arent connected to the internet but i think its a limbo land while you connect the ps3.

Leeg17

When you say internet conneciton wizard, is that on the ps3 or laptop you're saying?

eddhorse

Sorry the internet connection settings on the ps3

Leeg17

Tried that, no luck.
When I insert the ethernet cable, both say connected, but when I start the internet connection settings, and click right after "easy", it disconnects from Vodafone, and instead of saying there's a better connection, it says that there's a "mobile IE" (-> the vodafone) connection being detected, and to start this connection, click on the message.

eddhorse

Have you done all the internet connection sharing stuff on your laptop for your vodafone connection?

Leeg17

Mhm, connection -> properties -> enable sharing.
On vodafone software, I did all the things you told me.
Could it possibly be ip address clash or some thingy-ma-bob like that?

Ok i have made up some screenshots in a pdf for Vodafone in Vista and XP.

Mods can you sticky as these threads are a dime a dozen, even create a new thread/sticky with just the PDF's, i have a mac one somewhere as well

Did you do this in the guide?

Ok from the beginning you need to do the guide attached.
DO the internet sharing in the control panel when your vodafone dongle is attached. Then connect your Ethernet cable when it tells you.

See what happens

Leeg17

I really am sorry about this taking so long.
I changed the connection as you said, and now it says that it's "Local Area Connection 3: Network 3, Shared", so I guess that's a start.

I plugged in the ethernet cable as before, but yet again, as soon as I go into "internet connection settings" on the playstation, it disconnects from the vodafone IE connection, and tells me that it has detected the very same connection... I'm confustered

eddhorse

Im getting stumped on this, uninstall the vodafone client and reinstall it again on your laptop and start from scratch. Sorry it worked nearly straight off for me but mine is XP

Leeg17

Lol, I'll try, I'm starting to wonder if there's even a point anymore
Even though it didn't work, I wanna thank you for all your help mate, it means alot. (I'll pm a mod, about seeing if those guides can be stickied)

eddhorse

I aint finished with you yet !! Reinstall the Vodafone client

I lol'd so loud, my mom came in to see what was so funny
I'll get right on it, sir.

Leeg17

Uninstalled, re-installed, re-started, same problems.
I can go online on laptop, plug in cable, disconnects from vodafone IE connection, offers to restart me on this connection, but even if I try to, it won't connect as long as the ethernet cable is attached...

Leeg17

Leeg17

Leeg17

Ip address conflict flashed up as I reconnected to vodafone (it was windows' window)

IP address timed out means your windows firewall is on or some firewall !!

Leeg17

Bit of a hijack alright but its a windows problem and not a ps3 problem

Lol, I should be shot.
And no, still ip address time out

eddhorse

What antivrus do you have? Is it Norton or McAfee or something?

Leeg17

Kaspersky

eddhorse

can you disable that and try again just to test?
It probably comes with a firewall.
Dont ask me how to disable it

Ok here ya go
Kaspersky Internet Suite
Please navigate to the system tray on the bottom right hand corner and look for a sign.
•Right click it-> select Pause Protection.
•Click on -> By User Request
•A popup will claim that protection is now disabled and a sign like this: will now be shown.
•You successfully disabled the Kaspersky Internet Suite Guard.

Then try for PS3 again

Leeg17

Disabled windows firewall, tried and failed.
Then (while it was still disabled), I disabled Kaspersky also, again failed.
Just fyi, this is what I see as I'm testing the connection on the playstation:

both times the ip address timed out.

eddhorse

disable both firewall and then connect your broadband dongle, then connect your cable then go into ps3 internet connection settings
