Not all ethernet cables are white, the colour is irrelevant, my cable is orange lol, but yah go to network settings and reconfigure your connection to a wired connection since you have your cable and it should be pretty simple all you have to do afterwards is put in your network's password and choose the recommended or automatic settings.

Yah the 40GB model doesn't come with an ethernet cable, but to use a network you have to put in the password, you should have a password, this keeps others from stealing your internet.

No it doesn't come with your PS3 it's given by your internet service provider, do you live with anyone who would have the password written somewhere? You need to use the password to gain access to the internet on your PS3.

Go to network settings, choose wired connection then it should ask you for the password afterwards.
