| Re: wired connection Most times with wired connections I recommend using a router to share the connection. This way the PS3 can be online while the computer can also (just in case you have to ask questions on here  ). It will also handle any log ins your ISP may require.Could you please list what you entered into the Ps3 for your connection settings? Chances are something is not correct or, if you went all easy/ automatic, you may need to enter some things manually. One other thing to try is maybe the simplest- power down the modem for about 30 seconds and then plug it back in. Sometimes the modem doesn't "let go" of the IP when switching between the computer and the PS3 as you are doing. |
