I really need help with connecting the PS3 to the Internet

I bought my PS3 about one month ago ..

But until now I don't know what I need to connect it ..

I have an ADSL connection (512 KB) but my Modem only has one opening for the phone cable ..

So the LAN cable is too big to fit in it and I really got desperate now ..

Please help me and I'll be thankful .. :oops:

I do have Highspeed connection ..

but I just asked can I connect in this case or I need to change the modem??

How is it connected to the PC? Doesn't the same cable work for the Playstation, too?
If you need to install drivers for that modem it won't work anyway because youcan't do thaton the PS3. In this case you would need a router.

thanks for the help guys but I'll buy a new modem that has two LAN openings so now I just need to put the LAN cable from the PS3 to the modem or not.?

do I still need a router??

It might work if the modem does not require to install drivers. But I'm no pro either. You should ask someone at thestore (if you are not buying on the internet.)

How is it connected to the PC?MogFromLeipzig

thanks mog I really appreciate your help but the modem has a USB out that must be put in the PC

so if I got lucky and it worked and I'm playing online nowdo I still need the PC running ?

I connect it to the PC by putting the USB out in the modem to a USB opening in the PC

and the Modem is Speedtouch but no model name or number is in it (it's the modem I'm using now)

thank you very much guys

but I got a last question..

I have an ethernet card in my PC I tried to connect I network cable from the PC to the PS3 and I changed some network options (not sue if it was right) and when I tried to connect to the internet using the PS3 it said that there's a DNS error

it was hard for me, too, to find the right options. unfortunately i do not remember everything i did :/

in the properties of the broadbandconnection you need to allow other users in the network to use this connection. i enabled all checkboxes on this tab. but there might be more to it...

in my case it was a little crazy that i could not connect to the internet via pc first an then let the ps3 connect. it only worked when the pc was offline, then the ps3 requested the internet from the pc and both went online... but i guess that is not normal.

good luck anyway! and if it does not work buy a router.
