    I may have to do the former though...... I'm unsure I can locate a spare cable.
    If I am assuming right, you connect the desktop wirelessly too?
    If so, then
    I'd buy a router and go with all wires. The only things I do wireless are the cells and the wife's iPod Touch.
    edit: and the laptops

    Yep. The router and modem are about 3 rooms away. Above me.

    I even bought a 100' CAT5 cable and ran it through the wall outside, under the siding and upstairs through the wall to my son's room for his 360. I knew it would be faster, and it was 10x cheaper than the wireless adapter.

    Don't have to worry about cost of an adapter with a PS3 though

    *locates PS3 info in router*

    *tries setting IP and everything manually in PS3 with said info*

    Hope this works.

    The thing is, I have no clue what could have possibly changed.

    Ha. Bridging fixed nothing. In fact, now the desktop isn't connecting wirelessly, despite resetting things

    ....

    *tests something*

    Wow. Seems that those devices that were connected to the network (laptop and desktop) remained connected (in the desktop's case, up until I tried to bridge it, then it came disconnected), but those that weren't (PS3, computer I tested) won't connect. Kind of odd... Maybe getting those upstairs to reset the router will fix things. Of course, since it's 11PM, those upstairs are likely asleep. Good thing I wasn't intending anything important online on the desktop or console

    I HOPE that'll fix it....... I don't know what else to try if it doesn't...
