Hello and THANK you for clicking on my little problem here. i have my ps3 connected to my laptop via ethernet. and i have my laptop connected to router via wifi. my latop SUPPORTS dual connections such as this. but where my ps3 will succeed in finding and obtaining its ip it fails very quickly (not even timing out) when it comes to connecting to the internet.

i have enabled everything on the WNC to allow the LAN to bypass the firewall. i have even port forwarded everything needed for the PSN. but they wont bridge for some reason. and even though the lan is connected it says limited or no CONNECTION.

but the ethernet cable works directly. recently my brother decided to move the pc to the living room so he could go on internet. he is now using the only ethernet port on my router and my ps3 isnt a wireless one.


i THINK i have explained as much as i can about what i have done so any help would be great. XDFor starters since this connection to the internet for the PS3 is going via the router it will be laggy (just fyi). Ok then, how did you attempt the bridged connection?

what you could try but i assume you haven't is to go to your laptop and go to the network connections and double click on the wifi, to bring up its status then select details.
Next, write down the primary DNS server that are shown on the screen
Last, go to your PS3 and input this in the DNS sever area on network connections.

This method works for the XBOX 360 I've done it. it should work for you as well. i did the same setup on my laptop until i was able to run an Ethernet cable to the room with the XBOX 360 in it.
