Hi all,
Just purchased a PS3 for my son, and, as Dads do, tells him, "No problem connecting you to the Internet"...OOOPS!!!...spoke too soon.

I have a cable Internet with a static modem, combining a USB connection to my PC and an Ethernet cable connected to my PS3.
Did all the usual instructions from the quick ref booklet but to no avail...Its the 'finding IP address' that ends everything for me.
It says it fails and it has timed out....How many times have I tried to connect using automatic settings...."YAWN!!!"........So, I tried putting in my IP address manually,...not a problem, but I just couldn't go any further, it wouldnt let me accept the address, just edit or back..AAARRRGGG!!!!

I hope someone on here can help me out with this problem before my son divorces his Dad....LOL
