Vista - Internet Connection with a seperate Media Sharing Connection?

03-13-2008

I'm on a Windows Vista computer right now using a wireless internet
connection. The wireless network set up right now is on my alternate
computer, which is a windows XP. I have a Playstation 3 which is also
wireless, and is able to play media files shared on my Vista computer.
Lately, I wanted to switch my Vista computer to a wired connection, while
still being connected to the for my PS3. I asked a fellow friend of mine and
he said that I needed another IP adress?

Can anyone help me resolve my problem? I just got a second modem and
plugging it with the correct software won't work.

Thanks in advance.

Assuming the Playstation 3 still uses wireless, you may setup Vista wireless
connect to the wireless and wired to wherever you want to.
