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] Connecting a ps3 to the internet through HTC Hero

I'm trying to connect my ps3 to the internet using my phones internet. I have a rooted Hero using wireless tether to my pc. I enabled internet sharing on that connection and hooked up an ethernet cat-6 from my ps3 to pc. My ps3 keeps timing out trying to optain an IP address. Does anyone know if it's possible to get the ps3 to share a mobile internet connection?
Edit: Manually entered IP address and it now successfully obtains, but I get a DNS Error. I've tried a few open source numbers, none of which seem to work.

Why don't you just Wi-Fi tether? Program like wifi barnicale tether
It works from my N1 to ps3 slim

I tried that first. My ps3 wouldn't pick up the network when it would scan. I read that ps3's can't pick up ad-hoc networks. Maybe the new slims have that added feature though?

Make sure you are using one of the latest versions of wifi tether (.09 or .10). I think they now are a true router rather than a ad hoc connection

So I also have an HTC hero and what I'm wondering is if I can completely bypass using a pc/laptop and go directly from phone to console using a tether app ?

Rooted for Wifi tether: Trying to obtain IP address

Hey guys,
I have rooted both my EVO and Galaxy tab so I can wifi tether the Gal Tab,...all is well but the Gal Tab doesn't seem to want to connect it reads :Obtaining IP address from AndroidTether(adhoc)
I'm sure this is something pretty simple,...can someone help me out here?
Thanks

I can connect my tab to my tethering incredible with no problem. I assume the issue lies in your evo's tether app. Have u connected other devices?

Thank you for the response
I've tried WiFi tether and Barnacle both from the marketplace. Wifi tether just gives me the error mentioned above while Barnacle does make a connection with my Galaxy Tab but when I try to access the internet the pages will not load. Any ideas? Thanks again for the help.

Wifi tether is adhoc which the Tab can't connect to. Hotspot apps aren't adhoc which is why you can connect to those.

I've tried the hotspot apps but none of them seem to work. Is there a 'how to' guide here on the forums?

Wifi Tether

Is it possible, to be connected to a WiFi with your android device, and share it yourself while being connected to it? Because i can only share ADHOC over my laptop, which i can only connect to with my rooted android, and my new android phone cant connect to it... help please.

What exactly are you trying to do? Using something like "Wifi teather for root users" you should be able to set up your phone as a wifi router. Clients (your PC) would get internet access via wifi and your phones cell network connection.

Yep, so tethering will share your mobile internet connection (GPRS, 3G, ...) with other WiFi-capable devices like your notebook. And when tethering is on, you can't connect with your mobile phone to a WiFi network because the WiFi chip can only operate in "client" or tethering mode (as long as I know).

Anyone else think that wifi tether uses way for data than it should?

[Q] Can I Tether A Wi-Fi Connection

Hi guys. This might be a silly question, but here goes.
I am currently staying in a hotel with my family abroad. Each room gets only one username and password for their Wi-Fi network. Once used, no other device can use that username and password. The problem is that there are 3 devices in the room.
I was wondering if I could use that connection on my note 3 and wirelessly tether the connection to everyone else.
I have managed to do this through Bluetooth tethering to a note tablet, but the third device is my dad's iPad so I don't think that's gonna work. My best bet is Wi-Fi tethering to him.
Wireless tethering is disabled when I'm connected to the Wi-Fi network, so I guess my best bet is an app.
Is this possible, and how?

You can use wifi hot spot on your device if iirc, then run the other devices via the Note.

If you have a laptop, you could connect to the wifi through your phone, and then tether your phone to the laptop via USB. Then install a hotspot program on the laptop to enable other devices to connect to the laptop, as if it were a router.
