I did something like this, a while back, for my xbox.

Yeah, if you bridge the connections. (you might need a cross-over cable too)

Ah... I missed that. I used a cheap (5usd) netgear switch to do that.

Don't know if the PS3 has gigabit, but if both sides do, then a crossover is not needed.

Thanks!

You could also do ICS (Internet Connection Sharing). Sounds something like what you want to do. HA

I would highly doubt it. I've only ever seen straight cables shipped with consumer products.

Should be a straight through cable with the PS3. Look at the colors of the wires in the connector to be sure. If the colors are in the same order on both ends of the cable its a straight

Really? I was making cables over the summer at my interndhip one day and when the colors are not in same order on both ends the cable doesn't work at all

I think you just said the same thing he did....


same order = straight ---> used for most connections

orange and green switched = crossover ---> used for router to router, switch to switch, pc to pc, etc
