[TUT] Get your Xbox 360 or PS3 Online Wirelessly Without va Wireless Adapter

[Steve-O]

Most people ask me about the xbox and the fact that the wireless adapter for the old models cost alot of money, well here a little guide showing off a nice trick on how to get your xbox online without one..... you do need a pc, a Ethernet lead, and a way to get the pc connected to the internet via wireless, this will work for PS3 as well incase you want the wireless on the ps3 for ad hoc party but your ps3 is to far away from the router

First, make sure you have admin rights for your pc, as this requires admin permissions to do, also this ONLY WORKS ON WINDOWS VISTA AND WINDOWS 7. finally, make sure your pc/laptop has both wireless and a ethernet port... now that aside let begin

first log on and make sure your connected to the internet via wireless, then go to control panel and click on network and internet

Next, click on network sharing center (again the big link

Then at the side of the window, their will be a blue strip with links (green if running vista) click on change adapter settings

you will then see all your network adapters that are installed on the pc (normally you should have 2, one wireless one wired) highlight the wireless network connection and the local area connection do this by holding CTRL as you click

next Right click to get up the context menu, and click on bridge connection (if needed, you may be prompted by UAC (User Account Control), click Yes or type in an admin password if it needed)

then it should pop up with 'windows is configurating bridge connection'

afterwards, you should have a new adapter called bridge connection, wait til that says it connected

after that, plug one end of your ethernet lead into your pc, the other end in your XBOX 360 or PS3, then turn your console on and if everything goes well, tada, you now should be able to connect to XBOX Live or PSN. well done, you just save yourself 60 quid on something microsoft should of have built in

any questions just ask

Does the PS3 need a wireless adapter at all? Mine just picks up the wireless signal automatically. Or are you talking about the old 'fat' models?

Mines a newer model and has wireless on it but I have to have a Ethernet Connection for Ad Hoc Party :/

Sadly this wont work for me cause I have a XP system ~.~

The fat models do not need an adapter either, as both of my PS3s are the fat ones. I think what he is trying to do is show how to use a hub in order to use wireless signals that are too far from the PS3 to work (although the "it works on PS3s" seems to just be a side thought?).


Good tut, Stevie.

all ps3 models have wireless, but if you want to play psp games like dissidia via ad hoc party, the wireless is needed to connect the psp to the ps3, which means a wired connection is needed, and not all people have their ps3 right next to the router

their is another method that you could look up called internet connection sharing, it works in pretty much the same way but it should work with XP as well

try looking at this http://community.us.playstation.com/thread/1602166?start=0&tstart=0 I don't have a XP Machine to make another tutorial for this, but hope it helps aaron
