Question regarding getting set up w/ Ad-Hoc Party

[Lord Shmeckie]

This may make or break my chances of going online, here, so fingers crossed...

Does the PS3 need to be plugged into the router itself to run Ad-Hoc party, or can it be hooked up to a computer with online access via ethernet cable? See, my router isn't just in a different room, but on a different floor than where I could play. Therein lies my problem...

:( adhoc requires direct connection to the router (if memory serves me right for trying to set it up)

[TWOxACROSS]

Yes. unfortunately, the PS3 has to be connected to the router with an ethernet cable, because it can't catch your PSP's wireless signal while it's trying to create a mock siganl over the internet, or something like that.

I'm supposing you live in some dorms? I don't suppose there is any compromise to getting it connected, is there?

[Lord Shmeckie]

No, I live in a house, but the router's in the computer room downstairs, while the room with my games, and this computer, is on the upper floor. I don't understand, though; the PS3 would still be wired, just connected to the computer...

God dammit, Square, why couldn't you give this damn game straight-up online...?!

Yeah I had to put my PS3 downstairs too >.>

I had this problem too. My router is upstairs, and my PS3 is downstairs.

Fortunately, I had a 50 foot ethernet cable. :>
