  • Connect your PlayStation 3 game console to your cable modem using an Ethernet cable. The length of the cable needed depends on the distance of your PS3 from your cable modem. The Ethernet cable plugs directly into the rear of your PS3 console, as well as the rear of your cable modem.
  • Power on your PlayStation 3 and your cable modem.
  • Move to the Settings option on the XMB (short for cross media bar--another name for the PS3's home menu).
  • Scroll down to Network Settings and press "X" on the controller.
  • Select the Internet Connection option and make sure it's set to Enabled. Then scroll down to Internet Connection Settings and press "X."
  • Select "Yes" when the console notifies you it will be disconnected from the Internet. Select the "Easy" setting method. Your PS3 will configure your settings automatically. Press "X" when prompted to save the settings and test the connection.

Hookupplaystation3tointernet

Hello Cabage344,

Easiest way is to connect the pS3 to your wireless network.
If you don't have a wireless network, connect a ethernet cable from your PS3 LAN port (on the back of the PS3) to one of the numbered LAN ports on your router.

Thanks,

Pat

My Playstation which I have just bought, will not allow me to get onto Playstation network. I can get onto the internet on my PS3, why is this happening?

Sony are doing maintenance on the PlayStation Network at the moment. We should all be back online soon, don't panic, there's nothing wrong with your PS3.
Hope this calms the nerves!

You must go back to the origional place you used the HDMI last, and do all the setting up & hook up again, to get a picture, THEN set it to component, or AV, and THEN turn off shut down, Now it will work at the other place OK.
