    Internet sharing between PC and PS3

    I have the main Ethernet port and I bought another PCI Ethernet card and installed it. I have the Ethernet cable coming from the wall to my computer and I have the PS3 hooked up from the PCI Ethernet to the PS3 via another Ethernet cable. When I turn the PS3 on the PS3 finds the ip address and the Ubuntu network manager says the the connection was established but not internet.

    Need some help, any ideas??

    Thanks.

    A) You need a crossover ethernet cable between the PC and PS3.

    B) You need to (1) enable ip_forwarding on the Linux machine and then (2) configure iptables for NAT / masquerading of packets sent to/from the PS3 machine.
