    Unable to connect PS3 to PC

    Hi everyone i own a Play station 3 and i want to connect it to my PC. I tried connecting it with the help of wire connection of the playstation 3 and my system is itself connected to the internet. I have also set the internet connection to share for my lan card. I go on the PS3 and search for media devices and it doesn't detect my PC. why i am unable to connect PS3 to PC. Need help.

    The probelm here seems as you have not enabled the auotomatic IP and DNS. After doing this you are requested to repeat the same with your second lan card which is the ps3 Lan card and then connect playstation 3 and set it to connect to the internet automatically. This will now get connected.

    It seems as you have not enabled the auotomatic IP and DNS so don't waste time and configure the your second lan card and enable the automatic ip obtaining. After this has been done connect your play station and set it to connect automatically and this will connect your PS3 to your system.

    In order to connect the playstation to the PC follow the steps which i have mentioned below:

    * Open the network connection and right click on the LAN Ethernet that connected to the PS3
    * Now select the Internet Protocol and manually select an IP for the PC, eg. 192.168.0.XXX then have a subnet of 255.255.255.0.

    This will definitely solve the issue.
