TWO PROBLEMS-urgent help needed

I cant log on to the internet with the ps3. The 3G is connected to the laptop,so yes I can log on to the internet on the laptop.

Edit: I am using the ethernet cable to connect the ps3 to the laptop.

Apparently Adobe CS3 could also be the reason for this bug. Further down this page some gave a possible fix to the problem. What do you guys think? I'm no expert on these things. It seems Bonjour is not that easy to get rid of.

Have you enabled ICS (Internet Connection Sharing) on laptop? It must be enabled in order for your PS3 to connect to Internet using laptop's connection.

If not enabled you need to do that, here's our tutorial for that in case you do not know how to do that: https://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials...ng-enable.html.

What's the make and the model of your laptop's Ethernet adapter? I just want to check if we need a cross over cable, modern gigabit adapters do no longer require it when connecting two devices.

I am at work right now. I'll have to get back to you after work(later). Thanks for the replies. It's really appreciated.

P.S. How do I check for the ethernet adapter?

Forget it, I was really stupid asking it. We can see it from your IPCONFIG data .

You seem to have a Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet. It should not need a cross over cable, even if the PS3's adapter is an older model, for it's enough when one of connected adapters has Auto-MDIX enabled. Gigabit adapters as yours have Auto-MDIX enabled by default.

That 0.0.0.0. default gateway is the problem, as you yourself already mentioned in your original post. I do not understand it could work, how you can still use the Internet.

Let's check what the Windows Network Diagnostics has to say about this. Connect PS3 to laptop with ethernet cable, turn PS3 on, and then when connected to Internet on laptop, right click the network icon in notification area, select Troubleshoot problems:



Please post results here.

the ICS part of the adapter will have a static IP address 192.168.137.1 with netmask 255.255.255.0 (It would be that Ethernet adapter in this case). This ICS host will act as a DHCP server and assign other IP addresses in the 192.168.137.x/24 range to the PS3 or any other device connected to it.

That's the problem here. PPP adapter (3G USB) has according to the ipconfig data DHCP disabled, and static IP. Ethernet has DHCP enabled but it's getting IP from wrong pool, 169.254.X.X (see for instance this article: Invalid IP Address 169.254.x.x - Microsoft Community).
