  • PS3 is using the inbuilt wireless network adapter (I cannot change this)

When I try to ping the PS3 from ANY computer which is on a wired ethernet connection, I get Request Timed Out errors.

Whenever I ping from a computer with a wireless connection, it works just fine.

To be clear:

  • Pinging from Wireless PC to Wireless PS3 works
  • Pinging from Wired PC to Wireless PS3 fails

I have tried this on several PC's and Laptops all with the same results. As an attempted solution I have set up static IP's on all related devices.

More information:

  • Default Gateway = 192.168.2.1
  • PS3(wireless) = 192.168.2.100
  • PC(wired) = 192.168.2.99
  • Subnet Mask(for both devices, I have made sure) = 255.255.255.0

Thanks
