Re: Help please! PS3 won't connect to the internet (wired network)
If you are going directly through the cable modem, you will need to turn off the cable modem for up to two minutes to reset the DHCP lease, because it locks into the MAC address of the network card in the computer. When you move it to the PS3 without reseting the modem, it sees a different MAC address and won't reassign the IP to it.
I would suggest picking up a broadband NAT router. They aren't very expensive and you will be able to connect the PS3 and multiple computers to the Internet at the same time. It will also protect against computer vulnerabilities because the machines are behind a firewall.
