hi i wanted to connect my ps3 to the PlayStation Network using a wired coonection. i have connected a normal modem wire ( the one you would use to access dial up internet on a computer) to my ps3 but the internet won't work. is this because a need a special ethernet ps3 cable or is it something to do with the settings?
Re: connecting ps3 to internet using ethernet cable
the modem cable i tryed to use was from an older computer, which i used to use to access aol dial up internet, i currently use 3 internet, a portable usb dongle device. the modem wire was a standard wire which went from the back of my computer to my phone connection. i do not have a wireless router, so i am trying to get the internet connected wirelessly. is an ethernet cable different from the cable i am using? if so will places like maplins e.t.c sell it?
thx
You're using mobile broadband (3G / HSDPA)... this really is not suitable for taking the PS3 online. OK, you'd probably get away with using the web browser & Store on the PS3 etc., but I really think it would be too slow for gaming, & have way too high pings for gaming.
Re: connecting ps3 to internet using ethernet cable
could you please tell me how i would connect my ps3to my wired virgin media modem or pc, if i use an ethernet cable to connect my pc to the virgin media modem, and my pc doesnt have another ethernet port which i can connect my ps3 to??
Re: connecting ps3 to internet using ethernet cable
Your best bet would be to get a router which goes between your modem and computer/PS3. These have 4 ports on so you could connect your computer to one and PS3 to another. For a few more quid you could get a wirless router then you don't need to run a cable from the PS3.
