What You Need:

*Ethernet cable (crossover cable may be required)

==============================================

1. Connect an ethernet cable from your computers' ethernet port to your PS3.

2. Go to Network Connections (Windows 7 users - Control Panel/Network & Sharing Center/Change Adapter Settings).

3. Select both your Wireless connection and your Local Area Connection, right-click and then Bridge Connections.

4. You should now have a new connection titled 'Network Bridge'. Click Start, type CMD and press enter, a new window should show up. In there type ipconfig and press enter.

8. Login to your router Settings (usually by typing 192.168.1.1 into your internet browser), find Port Forwarding & forward port 30000 (start & end) for both TCP/UDP to the IPv4 Address you wrote down, call it "kai" & save the settings.
