(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); I personally use dual as i can have my network connection disabled and still ftp, rtm etc, that and for me network sharing through laptop gives me a big delay and my wifi has really slow transfer speeds for files so i use wifi as my main on ps3 and have a cord connected from ps3 to computer for my rtm and mostly ftp. so i wanna know what you guys prefer to use and why.

For people who have never got it to work or tried it:
1. Console thats on dex
2. ethernet cord. (some types wont work fully)
3. console turned on with other side of cord in it.
4. For windows 7/8 go to change adaptor settings, right click on local area connection and select properties, in networking tab select internet protocol version 4. then select properties. now manually set the the ip and dns etc, i use IP: 10.42.0.2 Mask: 255.255.255.0 Default: 10.42.0.1 and primary dns: 10.42.0.1 now hit validate then ok.
5. now on ps3 go to debug settings and hit enable dual settings and then set network for dual setting go manual and put ip as 10.42.0.XX and mask as 255.255.255.0 (XX being the a number example 3 - 99)
6. reboot system and you should be able to connect, don't set a DHCP as your not on a acctaul network
7. refer to notes for information test with ccapi if its working for not for you or tmapi, to search for it you might need to change the address in the search tab. example. 10.0.0.20 - 10.0.0.137 is my default to search in target manager in order to find console, simply change the to 10.42.0.XX - 10.42.0.XX

Notes:
1. for ftp you need webman other wise it will not find consoles second ip address
2. for tmapi options to work you need to have all debug options set up like normal use expect single is now dual
3. do not share the connection of your wifi on pc to the local network adaptor its a separate network for offline use
4. this will not interfere with you computers wireless connection but on the ps3 in rare cases it will error on sign in if this happens sign in though xmb or hit sign in again that should fix it.

to an extent
