WMWIFI and Playstation3

Hello,
Long time listner....first time poster.
I've been using WMWIFI for home internet access now for a while. My laptop and desktop have no problems finding my mogul as an access point.
I just purchased a Playstation3 (mostly for the bluray). It has a wireless card built in to access some of Sony's online stuff.
My problem is that the PS3 cannot find my mogul as an access point. Any guesses? I've searched to earth's end, however, it doesn't seem there are many people trying to do what I am...and unfortunately I can't exactly call sprint and ask them.
Thanks for any help.

Found the answer...the PS3 will not connect to an Ad-hoc network...
Reported to not work
Nintendo DS
Nintendo Wii
PlayStation Portable
Unable to connect to a device providing internet using ad-hoc mode.
Do ya'll think that there is a way around this?
I don't have any other internet access (except for the mogul) but would like to get the PS3 connected.

i'm sure theres a way to rebroadcast from the PC

The psp can connect to an Ad-Hoc network (at least the last time I tried), don't know about the others. I just know under network settings on the psp you have to change it to ad-hoc mode.

Yes it can be done. you need a laptop or a desktop to act as a middle man.
If your desktop or laptop has a wireless / wired port, simply share the internet conenction from your phone to your PC.
plug in a wire from the ps3 to the PC
highlight the wireless icon, and the wired icon in your network manager and right click and hit bridge network connections.
it will work after that.

If you have a wireless router,that should make it all work. Set your mogul to connect to the wireless router and set the router to be 192.168.0.2 instead of its default. Now setup your devices with a static IP,on the same subnet and set the default gateway to be 192.168.0.1 (your moguls ip). In the earlier versions,this just works as is.
In the latest version,you will need to set some other settings on the phone as well. Go into your phones wifi settings and set the wifi adapter to 192.168.0.1 (earlier versions of wmwifirouter set this as the default,but the newer one is more flexible,so you need to specify this) Now,connect your wifi to your routers network. Next launch wmwifirouter. Clear the check mark next to dhcp allocator and adhoc netoworking. Network block should be set to the 192.168.0.x subnet. The router wont actually be used as a router,just as a network access point. Your mogul is actually the router. The clients are setup as before,with static IPs with a default gateway of 192.168.0.1.
This is how I connect my computer to the internet. I expect that it should work with any device that can be set with a static IP.

Thank you pflatlyne...
I have a wireless router but have not been using it as my computers can access the mogul directly. I will try your set up tonight.
Hopefully I can follow your instructions well enough to get it set up.
Thank you!!

WMwifiRouter and Xbox360
This did work with my 360 and WMwifiRouter. Had to config for my settings but it works!!! Yippee
EDIT
In case anyone asks, I did'nt need anything except my phone and 360. No router, or computer. Just fired up my wifi and entered the settings in my 360. It didn't see it, but it allowed me to edit my settings. I don't know about the PS3, wouldnt mind having one though. :..(

Hmmm....I still can't get it to work..
I'm not the most literate when it comes to how to do this.
Any chance of a detailed walkthrough on what to connect to what?
I have a desktop, an Actiontec wireless router, a wireless adapter for my desktop, mogul, and playstation....

Yes a step by step would be great. I have been trying to get the wireless router idea to work with no luck.

Mine works
What I did was what the other guy said with bridging the connection. once you connect your mogul to the computer and get online through the pc, connect an ethernet cable from your pc to the wifi routers main plug.
go to network connections
highlight your internet connection for the mogul and the one for the ethernet ( on my pc it is defaulted as internet connection 11 for the mogul and 12 for my NIC card) right click the highlighted connections and click bridge. connect the ps3 to one of the available hub slots and your ps3 should connect n/p.
IF YOU DON'T HAVE A ROUTER...
you must purchase a cross over cable to get an internet connection directly from your pc to your ps3. the method is the exact same as above except no router.

conncting pc -internet blackstone wirelessly?

I have a problem. ...well i have many, but this specifically -
I currently have a wirelss broadband router which sends the internet to the pc and the blackstone... but i cant figure out a way of connecting the pc to the blackstone wirelessly..... currently I have to access my pc with the usb cable....which is annoying....
my pc has asus wifi solo...
is there a way... ?

What excactly do you want to connect. ActiveSync isn't able to deal WiFi connections since a few versions, as this was mentioned to be a security issue.
If your HD is able to connect to the internet through your router, you have a valid connection, but you this doesn't mean that you can just access your HD with the explorer, or whatever you are supposed to do.

oh....so i cant connect to the blackstone with the pc through the broadband router...shame.... i could switch the pc wireless adapter to send mode to connect to the blackstone....but that would mean losing the internet whilst i did this..... how frustrating!!!

Actually this wouldn't bring any advantage. You have a valid IP connection between your HD and your PC, but you also need some services like FTP, HTTP, or whatever.

What about Remote Desktop to your PC?

Wireless Adapter

Hi,
Was just wondering if the polaris can be used as a WIFI adapter for PC?
i.e. using the wifi capabilities of the phone to connect to internet on the pc.
Thanks

hi I think what you are looking for is wmwifirouter - google that and will bring you to there homepage. Not only does that but can do other sort of tethering as well eg - 3g to bluetooth, 3g to pc, wifi to pc, and others.

Hmm, so with this program, basically I can connect via the following illustration?
wifi router ----wireless---> polaris ----USB---> PC?
The site you sent to me sounds moe like making the smartphone into a router.. Though, i may be wrong..
Thanks though!

hi yes it does both though i believe to do what you are asking the computer has to have internet sharing enabled someone correct me if i"m wrong, but I have done this myself when i was playing with this program and had it working although i have only done this once as i use the program to make the polaris a wifi router.

PS3 and wifi to Sprint Hero

hi.....
I have been trying to establish a wireless connection with my PS3 Slim
I had a HTC Diamond with wifi tether...before my Sprint Hero..
I have rooted my hero.. and now running tether wifi.
they both act the same....
my laptop can see and use wifi
my Tivo can see and use wifi
But my PS3 Slim (purchased in November 2009)
The PS3 can see other wifi in the area... but not the cell phone tethers
does anyone know.. why or can give me a guess?
thanks...

PS3 needs to connect to an Access Point, Wifi Tether only creates an ad-hoc network as far as I can see.....

I did ot think that it made a difference to the device.. because.. it sees it as a connection point..

you can only connect with a local wifi network or via ethernet

[Q] Xbox Live using Android's WiFi

Hi, I've been searching and searching for a answer to this question for a while now. I apologize in advance if theirs a post on the forum somewhere that answers it. I wasn't able to find any however. My question is: Is it possible to connect my android phone (Samsung Captivate) to my xbox 360 and turn it into a wireless router so it can connect to my PC's router. I don't want to spend money on the wireless router that Microsoft offers for the xbox. And I'm talking about using WiFi, not data connection.

i wasnt aware that Microsoft offers a router with an xbox. But yes, you can turn your phone into a wireless hotspot and have your xbox connect to that.

Do not expect any huge connection speeds.

I think he means he doesn't have the dongle so his xbox can connect to his wireless network. Don't know if the phone can receive the wifi signal and tether it out that way. You can try the usb tether.

Yeah its about 60 dollars now (the network adapter Microsoft offers). The thing is the xbox doesnt even recognize my phone as a storage device. I was wondering if anyone has actually tried doing this before. I was going to try the usb tethering but I was reading up on it and most of the people that were using it were using data connection and not wifi so I was unsure.

for usb tethering you would need a xbox client....and i doubt that has been done before.
The only way your gonna get your xbox to connect to any wireless signal is with a wireless adapter.

You need that adapter, no way around it.
