Internet of My Own (Again)... At LOOOOONG Last!

Yeah. You read it right. A year and a month after I left our house (together with my internet) in the province to transfer here in the Megapolis of Metro Manila, Philippines, I finally have (again) an internet connection of my own! Gone are the days that I need to go to internet shops to be online. During office hours (8 am - 5 pm), I'm still gonna use my internet in the office, but now, at home ,I can still go online at will!

The only problem is, it is my brother who chose the ISP... It is a broadband connection, but in the form of a USB device (looks like a USB network adapter). I have a decent speed at max 3 MBPS. My only complaint is... When I tried it in my PS3... I DID NOT WORK!!!

I guess my resort now is to make this PC an access point for wi-fi so I can connect my PS3 online. The problem is, I do not know what to do. My friend told me I can use a wireless router or a USB Network Adapter. Well, I have both. I already installed my USB Network Adapter, but I cannot find a way to make it release wi-fi signal. I think it is just for scanning if there are wi-fi signals around, but it cannot be the source of the signal... So, my next option is the wireless router. Unfortunately, I do not have a cross cable with me. I'll just buy tomorrow... and hopefully, after some tweaking, I can play with you guys via PSN.

If anyone can help me how to do all what I have just said, I will greatly appreciate it. If none, I'll just Google everything.

For now, at least, I can be with you even during night time here in the Philippines.

[UPDATE (October 4, 2009): I was finally able to remedy the situation. I connected my PS3 via LAN to my PC. The only drawback of that setup is that I cannot be online in my PS3 without booting on my PC. Anyway, my PS3 is already connected. ]

Hmmm I use a wireless router for my connection. However someone set it up for me and all I had to do was scan for the signal and put the code into my PS3 to add it. So I dont think I can be of much help sorry Let us know what your PS3 ID is when you get everything set up! I want to add you to my friends list

@ FeltLyner: Thanks!

@ pikastar: Sure! You'll be my second invite priority next to Symon. I would love to add Chobi, but she has no PS3 yet.

@ TriEdgeFury26: Okay naman. I'm very busy during weekdays, but I always find time for my unions here.

@ megatonB: Huh? Filipino? Nice! I was not affected by the floods 'coz I live on the 20th floor. You never wish for a flood to reach my place, right? Else, a lot, LOT more would be affected.

About Me

I'm a Filipino. A gamer since 5. I got my first game system (NES) when I graduated in kindergarten... During my childhood days, I always loved action games and platformers like the Marios, Megamans, Kontra, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Donkey Kong, etc. Now, I'm very much in-loved with RPGs (including SRPGs), but I also play Action and Survival Horror... and other types of games in my extra-boring times. My favorite most cherished games are Megaman 3 (the first game I finished), Final Fantasy VII and Metal Gear Solid. My top 3 favorite game series are: Final Fantasy, Metal Gear Solid and Resident Evil. The Playstation 2 is my favorite game console. i own a ceramic white PS3 (gotta love the looks) and a PSP-2000. My US PSN ID is Fantasy_GamerX. I'm a regular poster at GameFAQs. (GameFAQs User Name: Fantasy Gamer) In my extra times, I sometimes write game FAQs there. :) Here at GameSpot, my life is the union system. I am no expert in web designing, or news writing, or running a website in general, but I am given the opportunity to lead some of Gamespot's best unions. I am the only guy here who has lead two of the top 5 highest ranking unions in Gamespot (and also 2 of the biggest): Final Fantasy Experience (Top 4 and "oficially endorsed") and Square Enix Experience (Top 5). I am also the founding leader of Kingdom Hearts Experience (Top 20) I would love to see you in any or all of our said unions. :) Many people think of me as very serious (even here at GS), but those who have talked to me know that I am very approachable. Feel free to PM me anytime if you have any questions, or asking for ideas, or just want to chat. ;) Let's mosey!
