Your PS3 supports both wired and wireless. Heres how I have mine set up, Ive been running wired since day 1. 1st- hook your ps3 up to your modem or router with an ethernet cable. {im assuming ps3 is plugged into the tv, if not hook it up}
2- go in to your network setting on ps3.. If you start at the far left go over click and all the way down. You will see network settings. click on it and go down to the 3rd option there.. Internet connection settings. You will get a pop up that says your ps3 will be disconnected from the internet if you proceed, just hit ok. It usually automatically detects if you have the ethernet cable plugged in but just in case it doesnt go ahead and select wired. after that, just select auto for everything else. You will go through about 5 questions and it will be ready to do an internet connection test. All should be well.
If that doesnt work, make sure all the cables are plugged in and try again.If you are able to connect to the internet after that but get booted off, go back into network settings again and disable the media server. Hope that helps.. Happy Gaming

My ps3 all of a sudden is giving me an error code. i cant getr on-line.

Check your WiFi settings on the PS3 compared to those in your ISP's WiFi router - they must match (the protocol and the password) exactly.

If the WiFi password was recently changed for some reason and other devices can connect, once you confirm that make sure you go through the PS3 WiFi settings again to reset them to those known to work.

There is no wifi showing up on my playstation 3

You have to turn the WIFI option on for the PS3 to recognize wifi connections.
  • Go to "Network Settings" under the "Settings" option in the Main Menu.
  • Select the "Internet Connection Settings" tab and select "Yes" when the system displays a new screen saying you will be disconnected from the Internet.

  • Choose "Easy" on the next screen.
  • Choose "Wireless" when it asks for what type of connection you would like to use.
  • Select "Scan" on the next screen.
  • Select your wifi internet connection.
  • Select your Security Settings and enter your password
  • .Test the connection by selecting "Test Connection".
  • If everything works out, your network information should show up.
Cheers!

We just bought a new computer and now my ps3 cant obtain the ip address and for some reason i had linskys as my internet connection but now it switched to the computers internet connection and it will not...

You need to get a router. Buying one of these, (perferably D-Link model-DIR 615 best bang for your buck), will help distribute internet via WIFI. If your PS3 doesn't support WIFI just connect an ethernet cable. This should work.

PS3 wont connect to internet

Your PS3 should have WiFi built in unless you bought he 20GB version back when it first came out, that is the only one that dosn't have WiFi. But you can still connect it the way you want. You can use any type of ethernet cable, straight through or crossover. You need to go into your network connections in the control panel, select wired and wireless connection at the same time and bridge them. That should do it if you wanna go that route but you would have to have the computer on anytime you wanted to connect your ps3 to the internet. The best bet I think would be to just use the WiFi built into the PS3

PS-III Rock Band - Internet Load While Gaming

Yes, the problem is with the PS3.
When using the PS3, if possible, disconnect any computers and devices (PDA's, PSP's, Phones, etc) that are using the internet both Wireless and Wired.

This should minimize the connections being used.
Another tip is disabling the PS3's Network connection when NOT using the Online features of the PS3. The Ps3 does not have to be connected so that it could be played offline.
