You don't connect the PS3 to a computer but to the internet service the computer uses to get online. All the ads showing features for the PS3 state Online connectivity requires broadband internet service and network devices such as a DSL or cable modem. Most people who have this also require a router and an ethernet cable or a wireless router to allow connection of more than one device to there internet service. Once the PS3 is connected with an ethernet cable or you have a wireless router then you go to the PS3 main menu settings and then the Network setting then network connections. The router allows to to connect both the PS3 and the PC to the internet and continue to use both without having to disconnect one of them each time you need to use a different device.
