Now, some people in some threads suggested connecting modem directly to PS3 and getting the numbers. I also tried to enter the same numbers that Windows was giving me in CMD - IP as 192.168.0.1 in both Mac and PS3, and still doesn't help. But as soon as I enter it manually - It obtains the IP address but failes to connect to the Internet. And here's interesting part - When it's all automatic - it cannot obtain IP address from my Macbook. In my Playstation3 I set it up as Wired Connection, and set everything to Auto too, just like in Windows XP configurations.

Now I even tried to Disable DHCP for this connection and Manually enter IP 169.254.254.200, and changed Subnet Mask to 255.255.255.0, but it doesn't connect. But here what it displays for my Ethernet -aka- Playtstaion3 connection: Now I can get online with my Mac just fine. Hook up cables, and in my System Preferences I click on Network and I see my Ethernet 6 (or en6) which is my iPhone tethering with the following settings: All I have to do is to Right-Click on my 'Apple Mobile Device Port', Select 'Advanced' tab, and click on 'Share my connection with Local Area Connection 2'. Now - Above is what Windows XP displays on Macbook when I share Apple Mobile Device Port with my Local Area Connection 2 (Ethernet). In Playstation 3 Network Settings everything is set to Auto or Auto-Detect. IP routing: Yes (Remember, this is a shared connection)ĭNS: xxx.xx.x.xxx (I know the numbers and they work OK) Here are the numbers that Windows XP displays when I type 'ipconfig /all' in CMD: The same procedure in Mac OS X doesn't seem to work. When I connect my PS3 via Ethernet to my Macbook, I have to be in Windows to get online.

Why? Well, if I can get online with my Playstation through Ethernet port when I'm in Windows, I should be able to do the same in Mac OS X. I do have Ethernet cable hooked up to my Macbook to get online with my Playstation. Next is my Playstation 3 80GB Metal Gear Solid 4 edition with OS version 2.80. Bluetooth PAN works in Windows too, because I can 'ping' using CMD, but IE8 or even Safari installed on Windows XP cannot recognize the connection. I can easily tether via USB using Apple Mobile Device Port or Bluetooth PAN (Both work great on Mac OS X, but in Windows XP only Apple Port works).

I go Online using my iPhone 3GS OS 3.0 with tethering enabled. The reasons for installing Windows will be clear as I explain my issue. I have Mac OS X 10.5.7 with all updates installed on a Macbook (purchased this April, 2009) and BootCamp'ed Windows XP Professional SP3 as second OS. But here are the specs so there are no questions about hardware: I specifically registered here just because I give up playing with connection settings with my Macbook and Playstation 3.
