how the hell

hiya people

have a nice shiny ps3 o yeah its shiny, my eyes, anyways

was wondering if anyone of you lot knew how i could connect it to my pc via the ethernet cable supplied so far my luck has been zilch

any help would be great

cheers :dance:

 

cross-over, not patch.

 

In other words you need a cross over ethernet cable or an adaptor for the cable you already have.

 

nah the cable fits in both ends but not speaking to each other

 

......

fitting connectors doesnt mean anything.

the ODEM card for example fits a SCSI, but it's a special cable because some things are rearranged.

a cross-over is a twisted end wire, whereas the patch cable is two parallel wires.

 

Basically a cross over cable looks exactly the same as a normal Ethernet cable but internally it switches several connections over so the "write" wires go into the "read" socket on the other end of the cable and vice versa. This allows the machines to talk to each other

 

k cheers guys

and yep made feel quite dumb hehe but thanks for the hlp mucho thanks
