Re: My Holy Grail of TP2 hack-question... Wifi Networking with PS3???

a few years ago, my brother in law didnt have broadband but his neighbor did. He would just use his neighbors wifi signal. He wanted to somehow connect his xbox to the net. We were able to get it to work by making a crossover ethernet cable ( you can buy one of course) and connect it directly from his laptop to his xbox. Then we set up network sharing on his laptop. there is a tutorial built into windows that will guide you. Just select the option that lets you connect to a computer that is directly connected to the internet. When he wanted to use xbox live, you log on to his neighbors wifi signal, then he would connect to the internet using his xbox. he used it for years until his neighbor moved a few months ago. Im sure you could do the same thing. tether the phone to the laptop or desktop, connect to the net using the phone, then log on to xbox live or the PSNetwork using the crossover ethernet cable. This will not work with a straight through ethernet cable.
