Allright, I need some wired online help.

So I got my PS3 today, which I LOVE, and am very proud to be officially apart of the community... But I have online woes.

I have an old CAT6 ethernet cable I got a while back for my PS2, and I got it out again so I could use it for online on my PS3. I plug one end into my modem, and the other into the back of the PS3. I do the "internet connection check" or whatever, and while looking for my IP address it said it timed out and couldn't find it.

So what's going on, or am I doing something wrong?

do you have all the settings set correctlyseanpul7

Sorry, I'm not that Internet savvy... Can you guide me through everything, like what you mean by settings?

What is this "wire" you speak of? It sound so foreign in this generation of gaming...

Why not do it wireless? Tell me how that works out; I guarantee you that wireless will be less of a hassle.

I actually here it's a way bigger hassle... Plus I would have had to buy an $80 router =/

With this I didn't have to set anything up (I don't think so far....) and didn't need to buy anything.

Now I just need to figure out how to get it to work.

go to network setting on your ps3 and it will say "internet connection settingsseanpul7

Bleh, I'll have to check it in a couple hours... parents are watching their TV shows >_>

do u have a routerseanpul7

Umm.. I have an internet modem used for internet and phone?

SOO,

Let me get this straight guys, to make sure I'm not being ignorant or something, but...

To get online on my PS3, all I have to do is connect a CAT cable (CAT6 in my story) from my modem to the back of my PS3, and mess with some settings on the system... I don't have to do anything on the computer or anything?

thats not a router a router is so you can connect to the internet wireless-lyseanpul7

Oh, allright, that's what I thought. Nah, I just have a modem... I was going to buy an 80 dollar one, though, until I found this CAT6 cable

Allright, thankyou so much dude!! I'll keep in touch about how things go... In about an hour or so, after my parents are done watching the finale of Hell's Kitchen.

.... yeah.
