Have you got a wired router/modem for your internet, or is a USB modem into your pc?

There are ways around this ;)

if you have an ethernet cable, you can simply plug from the back of your ps3 to your router or modem.

Craig - you have to have a modem to connect to the internet. What does your phone line plug into?

To get your PS3 online via an ethernet cable you need a broadband router and a phone line to plug it into. So it needs to go like this:

Image

Yellow line = Phone line going from the router to the DSL filter that goes into your phone socket in the wall

Red line = Router's power cable

Blue line = Ethernet cable going from the router to the PS3

If you have a wireless router you don't need to connect the router via an ethernet cable but I would recommend using an ethernet cable for online gaming unless the wireless router is in the same room as the console. Hope that helps.
