I've been looking around and have found various articles to do this so I can use Ad-Hoc Party, although none of them are working.  I have found my DNS server and have all the network information entered into the PS3 and have opened the web and internet sharing in preferences and it comes up with a DNS error.

Does anyone have any ideas of how to resolve this? (And would you enter the details of the router or ethernet connection into the PS3?)

from memory (as I don't have a mac), the DNS IPs you should use will either be the IP of the Mac itself, or the same as the ones the Mac uses (probably the router), I would have thought...

also, ensure that the PS3 media centre setting is turned off (turn it back on later if you need it )


also, check the the Mac firewall (for the shared connection, NOT for the Mac itself!) is turned off (apparently)

I've checked that and it still doesn't work.  Do you think it would matter if the wireless router (AirPort) was not connected to a computer and is directly connected to the modem?

[TTDegs]

Unfortunately I know very little about Macs, so I'm not entirely sure.
How is the Mac connected to the router? (on the grounds that as I understand it, it is the Mac which is doing the sharing, not the router itself)

Or are you connecting the PS3 wirelessly to the router rather than to the Mac?

[CrocStock]

The wireless router is linked to the Mac, and the PS3 is then connected via ethernet to the Mac.  The wireless router connects directly to the modem.  It comes up with Error 8070102 which it says is a DNS error.

Just to add, im using the IP address, Subnet Mask and Server the computer is listed for the router.

To close the thread, after looking further for Xbox 360 tutorials I have found one that works!
