Hi All,

Anyone know if its possible to connect a ps3 to the internet, via a pc running windows 7?

My old PC ran on windows vista. Once I set the PC to share the internet connection, the Ps3 found the IP address and internet connection automatically.

On my new PC running Windows 7, I can't get the Ps3 to connect to the PC's shared internet connection. Any ideas?

(PS3 is connected to the pc via ethernet cable)

cheers

Least you know the basics of it

Do you have different antivirus or firewall running on the Windows 7 PC?

McAfee came with the PC. I switched the firewall off. If i input the IP address manually on the Ps3 it will connect to the PC, but fails to find an internet connection.
