Connecting PS3 to Notebook

So I have been trying for ages to connect my PS3 to my Notebook through WiFi, so that my ps3 can use the internet. At the moment I have my Notebook connected to the net through a network cable, but it just wont recognize my ps3 nor will the ps3 recognize the notebook. So anyone got any ideas.

So you are trying to convert your notebook into an accesspoint for the PS3? OK, what you will have to do is to switch the notebook's wireless adapter from infrastructure mode to ad-hoc mode, then you must assign your notebook a unique SSID, a static IP address, and a unique channel number (ie. 6,11 etc).

Similar with the notebook, the PS3 must also operate under ad-hoc mode. In addition, you must also make sure the PS3 is operating in the same channel and subnet as the notebook. For instance, if I gave my WiFi card on the notebook an SSID of "test", a static IP address of "192.168.3.1", while operating in channel 11 range, then I must set my PS3 to connect to SSID "test", with a static IP address range of 192.168.3.2 - 192.168.3.254, and the PS3 must also be set to operate on channel 11.

Once you have done all of the above, then your PS3 and your notebook will be able to talk to each other, and at this point you must enable Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) service and route the connection from your ethernet adapter to your wireless adapter, please refer to the hardware / network FAQ to see how to route with ICS. Hope this helps.

The wireless channel can sometimes be found under the hardware properties of your network adapter... Also, as a reminder, be sure you set static IP addresses for both the PS3 and the computer, and make sure they have the same subnet mask.

Ok so I am trying again, though the main problem is that my playstation wont connect to my notebook. It wont even recognize that its there.

I have my wifi setup to a static address and its configured to my default gateway.
I have tried setting up an ad hoc mode but still there is no connection.

has anyone actually managed to get this to work and if so could you give us step by step instructions on how to do it, its all such a dam pain.

Thanks
