possible to tether raspbmc to PS3 to use PS3's net connection?
#1
Hi all, I realise this is not strictly XBMC, it's raspbmc.

Basically, I've got a ps3 with WiFi connection to get online.

Is it possible, if I connect an network cable from the ps3 to the pi, to tether the two to use the ps3s internet conn. to get the Pi online?

(I've never done anything like this, I don't know if the ps3 could offer this without some kind of custom firmware). But, in the raspbmc settings I see you can choose how to connect to the net. Would via 'proxy' be of any use here? Setting the ps3 up as a proxy for instance?

(I've only ever gone straight Ethernet or WiFi connection so they're just noob theories) :-)

Any help appreciated.

You should probably find out if the ps3 can tether internet first.
