Just need a little help with this stituation. OK so I have the PS 3 (40 GB) and I have a Ethernet Cable. Now I plugged it into a couple diiferent players, but do I need to plug it into my computer or router? Also what do I do after that? Anyone that has experienced knowledge of this, please help me out. Thank You.

You plug it into your router, after that you shouldn't have to do anything out of the ordinary to connect.

I am pretty sure I tried that. What is the specific spot to plug it in? Just where it fits?

well if you have a wireless router ( one with an antenna ) you should be able to have it plugged in and then when you go under system on the ps3 and find the internet settings or connect to internet you should be able to find what you need

Thank You. Put it in one of the ports on your router. Then from there connect the other end of the ethernet cord into the back of your PS3. Router[--------------Ethernet Cord---------------]PS3 From there you then just go to Sign Up for Playstation Network. Very easy process. |

Yeah but to plug the eternet cord into my router, I have to take out the internet cord for my comp out of the router right? |

No, a router has several spots for ethernet cords. One for the main line, and then usually four additional spots for other lines.

The ethernet cord I'm using is from my bro's 360, but my router has one main one for the internet, two phone lines, and one other open one but its too small for the ethernet cord. So then what? Also, this is what my Router looks like, no antenna:  |

I don't think that's a router, it may be your cable box. You will have to take the cord out of there and put it in your Ps3. Only bad thing is you can't go online (pc) because the ethernet cord will be occupied by the Ps3.

This is a router  If you want to have two products connected to the internet at once, you need a router. If not, then everytime you play the PS3 online, you'll have to unhook the cable from your PC and plug it into the PS3. Or get a wireless router and connect your PS3 by wifi. |
