    Alright M.J.W,

    I was able to set this up with by connecting my laptop to my ps3 using the ethernet cable i got with the PS3.

    In the window where you right clicked on the 3g connection click on help and search for Internet connection sharing. It will bring up a step by step guide.

    You've already ticked the box for internet connection setting. But then when i was doing this i also had to make sure the protocol settings were set to automaticaly optain an ip address.

    The help from windows will show you how to do this as well under the search for Internet Connection Sharing.

    When this is done connect your laptop to your PS3 and connect to the internet. On your PS3 go to settings.
    Set up a wired connection and pick the easy setting.
    I have everything set as automatic except for the proxy settings which i have set to "do not find" i think thats what it says I know its something like that.

    Just test your connection and that should be it.
    Let me know how you get on trying it this way i could help you out over email later if your still having trouble.


    What time will ya be on at ad ill give ya a shout

    I done everthing there and it said no ethernet cable connected. Have I done something wrong or is it just dodgy cable?

    If you are connecting your PS3 directly to your computer a standard network cable will not work, you need a cross-over Ethernet cable.

    Any decent computer shop should be able to sell you one.

    Later,

    The one I have is not the same as the one that came with the playstation so I think it is a cross cable
