I went on-line and purchased a 50 foot Cat 6 Belkin gold series Ethernet Cable from EBay for under $20 dollars. My router was 32 feet from the PlayStation 3 and the next available reasonable cable size was 25 Feet. If you are closer your cable will cost less and you could also use a Cat 5 cable with good results. Because I only had a cable connection and did not have a router I purchased a Cisco Linksys wireless-n-broadcast Router to allow me to set up the PS3. I found than I could have purchased the cheaper router without wireless capability, but at least now I also have wireless if I need it for something else. The router I purchased was wireless and also had four different slots to attach the Ethernet cable. I was using only one for the computer. I have a basement and it was easy for me to just go down from one room and back up behind the PS3 in the other room. I found that the reception was much better and the connection quicker with the Ethernet Cable than it was using a wireless connection. What ever set up you have you need to connect the cable from the back of the router to the back of the PlayStation 3. Once the connection is complete you need to go to the setting on the PS3 and go down to the very bottom and click network connections. Then click internet connection settings. You should have no problems letting the machine complete the connection. If your router is password protected then you might need to enter that information. I can not remember if I only had to do it with the wireless connection.

You have a desktop with broadband internet bought a PS3 and router so you can use it online and your PS3 wont let you connect?
The internet connection needs to be made before the connection to the computer the router goes between the broadband and the computer. Try a wired connection with a purchase of an ethernet cable that goes from the back of the PS3 to the router or modem. A wired connection works best with the PS3 so that it doesn't have to maintain a wireless signal. Try using your connection without the router or computer and then adding them after your PS3 has already been connected. Just plug an Ethernet cable into the back of the modem and the Back of the PS3. After that works add the router between the modem and the PS3 and finally plug in the PC into the back of the router. You really don't have to do it this way but it will allow you to gain confidence that the problem was never with the PS3 and just your setting up of the connection.

Can the ps3 since the comcast is wired internet do you have do you have to connect PS3 with the Ethernet cable to the comcast modem or you can get wirelees internet for the PS3?
You have to have a router to connect more than 1 item with Comcast Internet unless you also got the wireless router from Comcast. You can either go out and purchase a router either wireless, both, or Ethernet. I purchased a wireless router and then decided I liked the wired system better and purchased an Ethernet cable to hook up the PlayStation 3 because I saw that the router also had 4 Ethernet plugs in back. So you still need to purchase a router even though you have Internet access with Comcast.
