Hey all.

I'm trying to set my PS3 up so it can share my internet connection and stream media wirelessly.

This is the hardware im using...

- PC
- PS3
- Netgear modem/router (non-wireless)
- Netgear wireless WG311 card

Basically im trying to get my PS3 to connect to my wireless network card, aswell as trying to get my wireless network card to become a bridge so to speak to my modem so the PS3 can share my internet connection, but i can't get anything to work lol.

My wireless card picks up a wireless connection in my area (not my own) and the PS3 picks up the same connection, but they dont seem to be able to see each other.

Is there a definative guide to setting all this up or am i going totally the wrong way about it? :(

I've tried using the netgear smart wizard aswell as trying to set everything up via windows, both via ad-hoc and any other connectiuon type i could find with no luck.
 
Thanks for the replies.

As stated, my modem isn't wireless, so there are no SSID settings when i go to 192.168.0.1 and as far as im aware there isn't a similar page to change those settings with my wireless card.

I've tried setting this up via windows and via the netgear smart wizard thing, but i can't find an option with either to "broadcast" and i think thats half my problem, cause all my card can do at the moment is pickup other access points.

Im 100% sure my security code is correct aswell.

I think i need a step by step guide on this, cause none of it is sinking in. (Yes i tried google, but couldn't find anything of value)
