OS System = Operating System System... :lol:

He means OS -- Operating System, such as Linux. YellowDog Linux works well with the PS3.

os system? please explain....

there is a way of doing it iirc but you have to load an OS system onto the PS3

gona have a play and see whats what. never had a 3g connection before but as you said ime not in a fixed location as work up and down the country atm. also bt fleece me for line rental that i solely use for the internet and i cant get a landline through anyone else at my current location, something to do with a contract between me employer ect

You could just configure ICS on your laptop and create an ad-hoc wireless connection between laptop/PS3.

I don't understand why everyone is going the 3G broadband route. ADSL/cable are so much better if you're in a fixed location.

If I need internet access on the laptop somewhere else I'll plug it in to my phone...

what if you ran a ps3 on is it linux? i believe sony are backing that software now?

My mate connects his PS3 to his orange wireless modem without the dongle, cant you do that then?

They will not work i dont think.

i used to have a router on my pc and connected through the ps3 ethernet cable into that. because ime binning that off i wonted to plug the orange usb dongle into the ps3 and connect through that instead, when the laptop/pc is using the dongle the ps3 dosnt connect to that wirelessly so abit stuck

What, you mean you're not using a wireless router?

I dont quite understand, if you are connecting a wireless dongle into your ps3 then your mad coz its already wireless.

this is a usb connection though. i have it in the ps3 but it cant seem to connect through it

PS3 is wireless though :boggle:

anyone no if you can use a orange ect internet dongle on a ps3? use it on laptop and wont to cancel bt and aol on pc but cant seem to connect on ps3:boggle:
