For ethernet hookup



Either reset your router by pressing reset or just unplugg and replug it in or if it routed through the computer run network setup on the computer...



Then run wired set on the ps3 if you have network security you must use the security codes.



Goto settings



Goto network settings



Goto network connection, select enable



Goto Internet connection settings just below internet connection-



Push yes when it says you may be disconnected



Select wired or wireless



For wireless use scan or enter manually



Follow on screen instructions.



Once that is set up return to main menu and go to network near the right



Then once in the internet browser press triangle and goto file and enter the internet address you would like visit.I need help getting online running on my ps3?
now the system is still new and a lot of people have a hard time getting online. so when the start asking you all those questions. you might need to say yes to some of the question.
Wow, it brings some bad memories. I had the same problem, so, finally, I went to a PC store, had bought myself a router with VPN support D-link 604. Than I did all of them operations again (easy setting of the connection, that's more, than enough). No problems. The router costs around 35 $.
