Connection Error After Power Out

After a recent storm where we had some power surges(Surge Protector was in place), and the power went out, my PS3 wired connection will not work. I tried resetting the connection, but it then says cannot find the IP address. I use the same modem for my Computer, switch the modem from the comp to the PS3, depending on whichever Im using at the time. Does anyone have any help?

The PS3 doesn't like the internet to be cut off while it's using it, the unit goes in a endless cycle to reconnect the signal but most of the time fails. I've had a similar situation like this happen to me, but though the wired connection wouldn't work, eventually it connected after repeated attempts(i gave it a few days first). I would suggest looking at your network settings and reestablish the wired setting.

I've tried this numerous times(Happened about a week ago), and it still hasn't reconnected

(Quoted from the official Sony Playstation website)
If you have an Ethernet broadband connection, follow these step-by-step instructions to get your PS3 online.

Before you get started, please ensure you have an Ethernet modem or router and a Cat5 Ethernet cable.

On the PS3 Home Menu, browse to Settings > [Network Settings] > [Internet Connection] and select [Enable].

Scroll down to [Internet Connection Settings] and press the X button. You will be asked if you want to continue; select [Yes].

When asked for a [Setting Method], select [Easy]. You will now be asked for your preferred connection method; select [Wired Connection].

Using an Ethernet cable (sold separately), connect the LAN connector on the back of your PS3 to the LAN socket on your internet router. From the [Address Settings] screen, select [Easy]. The PS3 system will display your network settings; press the X button to save them.

Press the X button to start a connection test. If the test is successful, then you have connected your PS3 to the Internet.

Note: If the test fails, your network may require you to enter the PS3 system's MAC address. For information on obtaining the MAC address, see the related guide at au.playstation.com.
