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

[rruelas]

I was wondering if you got it to work for you? If you didnt, let me know and i will see if i can simulate what you are trying to do and write it up

If you look closely at the ends of a normal "straight through" ethernet cable, the color of the wires match the other plug, but on a crossover ethernet cable, you will notice that 4 of the colored wires are swapped (crossed). there are 4 pairs of wires (8 wires total) but only 2 pairs (4 wires)that are important in most cases. One set is data Recieve/In (+) and (-) and data transmit/out(+) and (-). If you connected 2 or more devices through a router, then the router will swap the transmit/receive wires internally for you, if you connect two devices directly, you normally will need a crossover ethernet cable.

I was able to use a normal Ethernet cable to share my cell phone connection through my laptop with my PS3; and have been using it successfully about a week now. The only complaint I have, is that it seems every single time I turn my PS3 off and back on, I have to go through the Internet Connection Settings again for it to successfully gain the needed IP address and connect to the web for me to sign-in to the PS3 account.

**One thing I did want to mention, is that I am having BIG ISSUES with one thing: The Firewall, evidently has to be completely turned off, for ANY of this to work. I wish there was an exception to this rule, so I wasn't left so open to attack and hacking - if there is, someone please tell me.

***LAST THING - I have been 100% unable to use the Built-In ICS through tethering on my HTC Touch Pro since day1. I have been forced to rely on selecting the USB to PC function on WM wifi Router... but the 21-day trial is almost expired. My original TP1 worked like a champ, but every time I click the "USB to PC" tethering program on my TP2, it says "END DATA CALL." (?)

I would LOVE to hear more about this... so you were able to sign in to your Play Station Network, and even play online, by sharing your HTC TP2's MightyROM included WiFi sharing app!?

I just used a regular old Ethernet cable I had laying around from past service providers, and it worked like a charm. I have yet to figure out how to keep the settings from reverting and needing set back up every time I disconnect my laptop and power off my PS3 though.

Also, I now own a Droid2, and like it a lot, but just wish someone somewhere would release a WiFi sharing app with INFRASTRUCTURE MODE so it doesn't show up to consoles as an Ad-Hoc Connection!

NICE! I am just going to bite the bullet and get DSL, because I can't upload videos larger than 15MB from my Droid2 without a WiFi signal from home, UGH!!!!!!!!!!!

You can tether with just phone wirelessly with froyo 2.2 tether i do it with my psp all the time. my question is if this works with android why cant someone make an app that allows it in windows mobile? i only use android to tether my psp i like windows mobile better for everything else
