Singtel BroadBand on Mobile and PS3 Internet Connection

The information below will be useful to Singtel BBOM(Broadband on Mobile) and PS3 user.

I will mention two setup below with and without wireless router.

1) USB E220 Huawei Modem / Vista Laptop / PS3.
a) Make sure your E220 Huawei is working properly with your Vista laptop before trying Internet Sharing Connection. I have experienced problem with M1 service on my Vista Laptop before. I am much happy with Singtel service now with the more consistant connection.

b) Connect using ethernet cable from your Laptop to your PS3. Enable Internet Connection Sharing on your Vista Laptop through the Network and Sharing Center. You should see the check box to enable that option.

c) Lastly the most important step is to have the same IP address and DNS primary & seconday is setted according to the BBOM connection on the PS3. You can check these parameters on your laptop by running "cmd" and then type "ipconfig" on the dos screen.

Singtel BBOM DNS server 165.21.100.88
165.21.83.88

2) USB E220 Huawei Modem / Vista Laptop / Router/ PS3.
a) If you have a wireless router which you want to setup all your laptops, PSP, PS3 to share the internet connection from your laptop then you can follow this setup.


b) Firstly Create a wireless network connection on your Vista laptop and use the following setting on your TCP/IP4 properties. I connect my ethernet cable from laptop to the router WAN input.Make sure you can connect on your IE using 192.168.1.1. Dont do any change to the router setting except your WEP, SSID and router password. You will need the WEP password when logging in PS3 and remember your SSID.

IP address 192.168.0.2
Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway 192.168.0.1
DNS server 165.21.100.88
165.21.83.88

c) Then you got to setup internet connection sharing on your Huawei E220 for your wireless network to share. Select wireless network connection in the drop down.When both the above is setup, you should see "Local and internet" access on you network and sharing center for the wireless network connection & Hauwei.


d) As for the PS3, go network setting, select wireless, key in your SSID, WEP and test connection. I am not sure what is Nat3 connection as what was shown after the test but it shows PSN & internet connection successful.
