    This is a bit of an odd situation. Can I reverse tether the wifi connection that I'm receiving with my laptop to my ps3 via a LAN cable?

    My laptop is connected to a wifi network via a long range USB wifi adapter, which is sitting outside to catch the signal. The wifi adapter on the PS3 doesn't have enough range to get it.

    I've tried this tutorial:
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-vista/Using-ICS-Internet-Connection-Sharing

    and I get stuck at "Click the Sharing tab." I don't see a sharing tab on my computer. There's a note that says
    "The Sharing tab will not be available if you have only one network connection."

    Oooooook, still not sure what to do.

    btw, I'm not stealing the neighbor's internet, I live with a friend on a property that has two "houses." The wifi router is in the other house.
