Windows 7 & PS3

I cant figure out the correct settings to share internet connection with PS3. Its wired, so should be straightforward (as it was on XP), but PS3 can not obtain IP address.

I have shared internet connection on Network adaptor, enabled file sharing & streaming (which works ok, PS3 is picking up WMS), and played around with the new Windows 7 Network and sharing centre, but no joy.

Can anyone help?

Just download the PS3 Media Server and be done with it.

Pretty much plays everything you can throw at it apart from your kitchen sink (upgrade & registry hack may be required to get sink working tho).

Im struggling. All the info is with regards to sharing and streaming media. I have my PS3 wired to PC to gain internet access. I have wired modem, no router, so can not gain access via router, wireless or otherwise. I managed to configure it using XP, but im hitting a wall today! :mad:

Im having virgin 50mb installed in 2 weeks, with wireless router, so might just wait for that. Thanks anyway.
