Connect PS3 to internet using MBP?

I thought teh PS3 had built in wifi?

 

I would guess that osx has some sort of internet sharing built in, similar to how windows does. You should be able to use the same cable that you did with windows, but as for enabling connection sharing, someone else will have to chime in

 

I haven't tried this myself so don't know if there's extra steps, but go to:

System Preferences> Sharing> And select Internet Sharing and which network card you want to share with.

 

buy a mifi

 

Have you tried connecting it to the MBP using an ethernet cable (and is it a patch or crossover?), then ticking Ethernet?

 

Hmm. Try this.

Go to System Preferences and click Network take a screenshot of what shows up (cmd+shift+4, then when you see a crosshair, press the spacebar. click the window you want to take a screenshot of). Post it here (the file will show up on your desktop as a png). Make sure you take a screenshot when you're connected to the internet.

 

interesting. take another picture of the what shows up when you expand the menu under Sharing->Internet Sharing for the "share your connection from" drop-down.

edit: sorry, the when you take a picture for that it doesn't show the drop down. Just tell me what it says in the drop down.

 

Ok here's what you have to do.

Go to the System Prefs -> Network again and click the one that says ethernet. Click the little gear at the bottom and make it active (tell it to apply settings if it asks you to)



Then, go back to the Sharing and the Internet Sharing. Keep the share your connection from at HUAWEI Mobile and select Ethernet on "To computers using." Then, check the box next to Internet Sharing to turn it on. Try connecting the ethernet cable from your MBP to the PS3 and tell me if that works.

 

In Internet Sharing, when you view ethernet does it say Configure IPv4: Using DHCP? If not, try to set it to that.

 

Check System Prefs->Security. If it is enabled, disable it (you may have to click the padlock and type in your password to be able to do this).

 

So you were able to enable sharing by disabling the firewall (forgot to mention that you have to go under the firewall tab in security... sorry) or by changing the gateway to 10.0.0.1?
