if your home is set up with wireless modem or router and
your computers are connected wirelessly its pretty simple to set up. more likely you or someone who set it up probably set it up securely meaning with security key and password. So you do have to know few things about your home network. like what is the name of your home network (SSID). the security setting of your home network. and finally the password of your network. if you don't know these things about your home network you will not be able to get connected wirelessly. but if you do have these info on hand read along....
JUST
MAKE SURE YOU DO HAVE A WIRELESS HOME NETWORK... it definitely wont
work if you don't have a wireless setup and u are trying to connect
wirelessly. people overlook this no brainer.
1) go to Settings
2)
Network
Settings
3) Internet Connection
Setting. confirm on "O.K."
4) easy *it may or may not give you a
message reading "checking
network configuration
"
5)
wireless
from this point on you need to know few things about
your network.....
6) scan -- once scanned it'll give you other
wirelss access point for you home network and some other near your home
along with few information such as
SSID (which is what you set your network to be -- i.e. "the jones" or
"linksys" or "summer home" or "my connection" etc etc) SECURITY (this is
the password you set up your network with) SIGNAL STRENGHT (usually your
network will be the strongest among your neighbors since you are closer
to your router)
7) highlight your network and press x . (you should
know what it is) selecting on the other network will probably not do
you any good since it'll probably be all locked with password and such
and so should yours be.
8) SSID which means service set identifier
basically mean the name of your network. if your home network is set up
with security and password your home network will not show up under
SSID (this is one of the things you need to know about your home
network. if you don't know ask the person who set up your home network)
9) on WLAN
SECURITY SETTING
page (this is another thing you should know about your home network or
ask
the person who set it up) -- most people i deal with have a WPA-PSK /
WPA2-PSK security password yours may be different so choose the one that
you used.
10) WPA KEY - which basically means password. input the
password you used to set up your home network (this is another thing you
should know about your home network or ask the person who set it up)
**it'll give you "checking network configuration"
11) if you input
all the correct info you should get the "setting list" screen
12)
press "X" to save the setting
13) do the connection test and if all
things were entered correctly you should have success.
all this
seems complicated just reading but if you follow it step by step its
easy. you just need to know the name of your home network, the home
network security setting, and the password of your home network.
on the other hand if you are setting up a wired connection it makes it a whole lot simpler. you don't need to know your network name, security key, and password.
make sure you have the ethernet cable plugged in to your ps3 and to your modem or router
1) go to Settings
2)
Network

8) do not set
8) automatic -- DNS setting
9) automatic -- MTU
10) do not set -- PROXY SERVER
11) ENABLE -- UPNP

if your home network is set up and u got the ps3 connected it should work
