Realise that this has been asked many times before so apologies in advance, feel as though I've tried every single how to and step by step guide on the internet with no luck.
Essentially I am on a university network and can't afford the ridiculous amount to get a dedicated connection to my PS3, so have been trying to share the Airport connection on my Mac with the PS3 via an ethernet cable. Been trying this since October last year and have probably tried every permutation of the IPv4, subnet mask, default router and DNS setting on both the PS3 and the Mac and have had absolutely no success as there is either a 'DNS error' or the PS3 fails to pick up an IP address. Compounding this problem is the fact that I am barely computer literate and the Airport connection to my Mac is pretty skittish. Does anyone know if this could be the college blocking it from working somehow and if that isn't the case does anybody know how exactly I would go about setting it up?
Any help at all would be GREATLY appreciated!
