PS3 Online via Ethernet Cable Question
OK so I searched for about 30 min on this one and couldn't find anything detailed enough to help me.
I've had my PS3 for almost a year now and I'm finally aching to hook it up to the internet to download content for GH3. The problem is that I can't get the damn thing to hookup to the internet via the ethernet cord. I am trying to us the Ethernet out on my HD digital cable box as a modem (will this even work? I tired doing it with my regular internet modem but that didn't work either). Every time I try to connect or establish the IP address it says "Failed". I called my cable company to see if they could give me my IP address manually but they said they don't support this kind of thing so I hung up on them... unfortunalty its not the 1st time I've done that, Charter Cable SUCKS.
Anyway, any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
I don't even care if it's not a perminant hook up... just want to get on to download some more songs to play on GH3 since I beat the game in 3 days (only on hard, not expert).
Thanks.

Yeah, I don't think doing exactly that is possible, Usually they only let you hook up 1 modem per account, as far as internet goes anyway.
Your better off plugging it back into your cable modem and trying that again. You may need to power cycle the cable modem and the ps3 after you plug them both in. I don't know jack as far as the ps3 in concerned though.

Get a linksys router and share the connection. if you are going to be cheap, that just try power cycling the modem each time you move it from one device to another.

Get a router and be done with it.

Anyone do this with the linksys router specifically and have any tips or know how to find the ISP and all that info manually?

By a router, they are like $50. Or get a wireless one and use your PS3s build in wireless to connect it. Simple.
