if you are using the cable you got with the ps3 then i think you need a different cable, one which is cross over. its either cat 5 or cat 6. check wich one you have then get the other.

this may be the prob, but not 100 percent sure.
hope this helps

HI there, the cable should be fine as most 'modern' NAT s are auto sensing.. if you've connected it straight to the computer is the internet connection coming in on a USB modem? if so, you will need to check that you are sharing the internet connection, and also make sure you setup the DNS servers on the LAN connection (PC > PS3) to the same that are stated in the Internet connection

If this doesn't work i'll need some more info!

Click Start > Run > type "cmd" > in the black box that appears, type ipconfig -all

paste the outcome of that here!
** F.Y.I. if you dont already know, you need to right click on the black window and click Mark, and then drag the white box round the text to copy and paste!

Hope this helps post the outcome back!

Q2: Can I route my Internet connection without a router?
A2: Yes, you can route your Internet connection through your computer, please follow the guide below to perform this operation:

1. Get a CAT5 or CAT6 crossover cable. The cable that came with the PS3 is a normal Ethernet cable, therefore it cannot be used for this operation.

2. Make sure you have two sources for network communication. For example, you can have 2 ethernet ports on your computer, or you can have a wireless card and an Ethernet port etc. It helps to draw out a connection blueprint such as this:

DSL Modem > CAT5 cable > Network Card 1 > Computer > Network Card 2 > CAT5 Crossover cable > PS3

3. Connect your computer to the modem and verify that you have an Internet connection. Then, click on Start, go to settings, control panel. Double click on Network Connections, and identify the connection to your modem (Network card 1).

4. Right click on the modem connection, and choose properties. Next, click on the advanced tab (Sharing tab for Vista users), and check the “allow other users to connect…” checkbox. After the checkbox is checked, click on the “Home networking connection” drop down box and select the name of the second network connection. Click OK and exit the properties window.

5. Finally, connect the CAT5 crossover cable from the second network adapter of the computer to the PS3, and voila, your Internet connection is now routed to your PS3. Please be aware that your computer must be on in order for your PS3 to stay online. In the long run, a router may be a much better device to use than your computer, since it consumes only a fraction of the electricity than your computer does.
