Connecting PS3 to the Internet
I have just bought a PS3 and want to connect to the internet but don't yet have a router.I heard you could plug it straight into a modem via the ethernet cable however my modem does not have a slot for the cable, it has a small telephone type slot and a USB wire coming out of it. Any sugestions to what i'm doing wrong?

The PS3 can only plug into a modem with a ethernet slot. If your modem only has a USB connection you will need a router as well.

Also, i have a ethernet cable slot in my PC where the modem should plug into if it wasn't a USB one and i've tried that all i got was an IP error when i try and plug it into that and the PS3 doesn't reconise it ---------- Post added at 23:47 ---------- Previous post was at 23:45 ---------- Quote:

You would need to get a router with a built-in ADSL modem, & use that in place of your current USB modem. The phoneline would connect to the router-modem, and the PS3 & PC would each connect to the router-modem using ethernet (or wireless if the router has it). e.g. Netgear DG834G ADSL2+ modem / wireless router / switch Quote:
If you connect the PS3 via the PC, the PC needs to have Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) configured & enabled. You'd then have: phoneline > modem modem > PC via USB PC > PS3 via ethernet And the PC would have to be on whenever you wanted to use the PS3 online. Quote:
They are more for turning a PC's USB port into an ethernet port. I don't think it would work using it to turn an ADSL modem's USB port into an ethernet port. |

Hi,
I am having problems connecting the PS3 to the router, I have a WGR614-6VGUKS - the same one supplied by Virgin Media... The router is working fine with my PC. If someone could give me a brief rundown on it, it would be helpful, i am slightly lost... |
