[QUOTE="*LuVmYmAcBoOk*, post: 995386, member: 138571"] Okay... So this subject has been in a couple threads that weren't finished. I'm having a hard time figuring out how to use my iphones 3g to get a ps3 online. Some people will say it's not possible but I know it has been done. Hope someone replies, 3 days looking for a solution with no luck, most of the info I've found regards PCs and people using broadband connections. Have a new ps3 slim 250gb, a new macbook OX S 10.6.2, and an iphone 3g with Rogers in Canada (unlimited data). I have NO home wifi/cable internet, just my iphones 3g tethered to the mac via Bluetooth PAN or usb, which has been GREAT (even streaming good quality movies/downloading), but the ps3 won't connect. I can share my connection with iphones and laptops with no problems! Whether I try to set up a wired(ethernet) or wireless connection from the mac to the ps3, I get the same outcome. It will show me my macbooks SSID, (even saying 100% signal strength), and it will successfully recognize the IP address (after entering manually), but the internet connection will fail (DNS error 80710102). I've heard that ps3's don't "like" macs, does that have any truth behind it?? I saw a thread on another site that someone successfully hooked up their iphones 3g to their ps3 with a usb wifi "dongle" connected into the computer, but it was not elaborated on very much, and I'm not sure which type of dongle I would need. If anyone has any ideas on this subject they will be greatly appreciated! [/QUOTE]
