Having bought my PS3 yesterday everything seems to work fine and i am pleased with the jump in quality even on a crappy standard def tv. However i am having trouble connecting to the internet/network (like a few people). Specifically getting the ip address on the connection test.
I have the internet on the PC downstairs
ISP Virgin Media with a NTL:250 modem connected via usb to the pc
I have an ASUS P5W-DH Deluxe motherboard with in built WiFi-AP Solo 3 in 1 Wireless LAN Adapter
I have set up a wireless access point on the PC and the wireless network connection is working with a excellent signal strength.
Within the Interent Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties i have an IP address and Subnetmask but no Default gateway or DNS settings.
On the PS3 when i go through the network setup prompts it picks up the SSID from downstairs with a 95% signal strength and i went throught the next few prompts clicking automatic and the like. When it comes to 'test connection' at then it cannot pick up the IP.
This is the first time i have gone about doing anything wireless as i have had no need previously. Am i going about it the wrong way using the ASUS WiFi gubbins, do i need a router instead of using the motherboard?
Any help would be great
The console looks chuffin gawgeous
