QUOTE(RaymondT @ Jan 13 2009, 02:13 PM) Correct me if I'm wrong, Demo you have to do it on the PS3.....as for firmware updates you can download from PC and use a USB stick to update it.....as for internet I don't know if windows can do it......I'm on a mac.....I can set my mac to share my internet connection through WIFI and connect my PS3 through WIFI...... Mean configure your wifi as an access point and use ps3 to conenct to it? I know that ICS can be done on windows.. but i'm sure if i can configure my wifi as a access point... anyone mind to share? FYI, I don't have any switch that can connect my laptop and ps3 togather... This post has been edited by edwinlcw: Jan 13 2009, 02:18 PM |

QUOTE(guest5201314 @ Jan 13 2009, 05:29 PM) edwinlcw, if ure connecting ur pc to ur modem thru LAN cable, then i guess u can connect the LAN cable to ur ps3, which makes it able to go online. second senario...... IF ure not connecting ur pc to ur modem thru LAN cable, then u definitely have a LAN socket on ur notebook/pc to connect it to ur ps3, and u share ur internet connection on ur pc, which in turns grants ur ps3 online access. Thanks.. I understand that by using a crossover cable i can connect my ps3 to the pc's RJ45 port... but is possible to configure the wireless card as an access point.. as i don't wamt to have a cable lying around the living room.. since there is a distance between my laptop and ps3hope that helps. in other simple words, u can go online wif ur ps3. If really no other way.. think that i can only use the method you provided.... Thanks |

QUOTE(vorchiel @ Jan 14 2009, 10:24 AM) it depends on the network adapter. my laptop wifi adapter can only function as a client & in ad-hoc mode. the only way is using softAP, which is a software/driver hack to make it function in infrastructure (AP) mode. I see...this thread was created on 2006 though. i dont know about newer wifi adapters / softAPs available now. good luck Thanks..I'm currently downloading the softAP software and will give it a try when i reach home later today. If it doesn't work.. then the only option that i have will be using a crossover cable to connect both my laptop and ps3... Will keep you guys posted... |

QUOTE(vorchiel @ Jan 14 2009, 12:58 PM) you might want to check your hardware settings for your network adapter. some usb wifi adapters can change their mode into infrastructure mode out of the box without tinkering with other 3rd party software/drivers. Oh... then i will giving it a look.. btw, my wifi card is a Intel WIFI 4965... don't know if is supported... |

QUOTE(Sairenji @ Jan 17 2009, 08:03 PM) Thanx, i'll give it a try. Just wondering, if we make mistake on the invoice number, is the warranty still valid? I think the invoice number is optional... it doesn't matter if you enter or not.. the registration will still able to proceed... just keep that receipt in case you need to send it for warranty... |

QUOTE(durian @ Jan 20 2009, 12:02 PM) hey guys, I think now they don't have the promotion for 2 games package d....i wanna ask something general. i'm going off to sony style in the curve to buy a ps3 later so i just couldn't decide which 2nd game to get along with this promotion   i understand it's all up the player's preference but if i pick up ninja gaiden sigma then my girlfriend wouldn't able to play. if i get Rachet and Clank:TOD then i wouldn't be able to play because she will have the controller by herself. so anyone out here have issues with your girlfriend/boyfriend/spouse hogging the ps3 to themselves? should i be expecting a contest every time to decide who gets to play? btw the 2nd game available along with this promotions are: Assassins Creed Ninja Gaiden Sigma Warhawk Rachet and Clank : TOD regards, lau If not mistaken, now they are having the 1 game package only... and the price should be at RM1788 I bought mine 1 week ago with LBP for RM1788... |
