Trouble getting PS3 online?

May be...

Hi,



I don't have a router in my apartment, all I have is a switch. I realize I can't have the PS3 and computer online at the same time, but is there a way to even get my PS3 online. I thought plugging an ethernet cable from the PS3 into the wall would work. But it's not unless I am doing something wrong. If I plug my PC directly into the wall the internet works, so this isn't making much sense to me unless there is something in the PS3 I am doing wrong. I set it to wired connection in the PS3.



Or do I have to have a router to get it online? Thanks.

im guessing your modem is in an external place of your apartment? if so, then it should work. If not then you need to get a modem.

If you have a modem you just need to plug the PS3 into it via the Ethernet cable. Why are you plugging the Ethernet cable from the PS3 into the wall?



If I were you I would invest in a router. If you paid 400-500 bucks for a PS3 you may as well shell out 50 bucks for a nice router.



Edit: Please tell me you don't have dial up? If you do then you cannot go online with your PS3. It's only capable of using a broadband connection.

OH CRY CRY
