Check the cable, use it with a computer - see if it works. If not it could be the cable OR check the port in the wall. If not, and your sure it's the console, phone Sony.

Well apparently it was a problem with my Ethernet ports on my router, so I hooked it up Wirelessly, Can anyone tell me how you sign up for the Playstation Network?
