hook up sprint usb air card to the playstation3

teacup69 · #1 02-04-2008, 04:29 AM

Alright I have been working on this for the last 6 hours, I have a sprint sierra wireless aircard 595 USB plug in style. As of right now I have the ps3 plugged in with the Ethernet cable to the back of my computer. I finally figure out how to share the internet connection after getting a few wrong codes. So everything is sharing when i go to my network and sharing menu, so now i turn the ps3 on and try to connect and then i get a 80710092 a timed out message, so I am completely lost and about to throw this aircard out the window. I have seen a lot of people saying that they have the sprint card and working the ps3 internet all fine. Can someone please that has success walk me threw it and break it down dumb style I dont want to hear computer mumbo. Thanks

It's going to be a bit hard to avoid all of the mumbo-jumbo but we'll try to get things figured out.

That particular code means the PS3 has lost the connection. I'm wondering if you have a firewall going on the laptop that may have blocked the PS3's access. have you checked that?

Well, what operating system is your computer running- Windows XP, Vista, etc.?

That would work if it was the standard Windows Firewall but maybe not if using a third party app such as the security software from Norton or Kaspersky. If you have something along those lines running you may want to try shutting it down.

Did you go all auto/ easy for your settings when setting up the connection on the PS3?

both actually i had to enter manual to get the right ip address and i entered the dns and dns2

I think the simplest solution may be to pick up a router to share your mobile connection. The Linksys WRT54G3G-AT should fit the bill nicely.

I DID IT, I DID IT I turn off the firewall and to run a test got the farthust ever got stuck a UPnP then i ran it again custom disable the UPnP and presto im online

Glad to hear it, teacup! I had a feeling at first it was a firewall issue- good to see i was in the ball park.
