Well I connected my to a modem, first plug your internet cable into the wall then into the modem, then get an ethernet cable (Comes with pro and elite console packages) and plug it into the modem and the back of the xbox.
A DSL modem is connected to an Ethernet port (looks like a over-sized phone jack)
If for instance you have a PC connected to the internet with an ethernet cable at a cable modem you can unplug the ethernet cable to the PC at the modem and Plug in a ethernet cable from the PS3 to the modem and a connection to the internet is possible. If the PC and PS3 are close enough you can just unplug the PC ethernet cable at the PC and move it over to the PS3. The first time you do this you need to go to the PS3 network setting and auto set the network settings. When you are done using the PlayStation 3 you just unplug the ethernet cable for the PS3 from the modem and plug the PC cable back into the modem for the PC to go back online or switch the cable back if it was close enough. When you get tired of doing this just purchase a router and plug the PS3 and PC into the router and plug the router into the modem.

If the Modem was already working and for example you unplug your computer and plug in the PlayStation 3 it will work after you go to the PS3 network settings and make the connection. It will be easier on you to find a used router and plug it into the modem and then plug both the computer and PS3 into the router.

First, make sure it is actually an Ethernet cord, since Phone Lines and Ethernet cords are commonly confused with each other. But if you know its an Ethernet cord, look for a fairly large port that looks rectangular, Google a picture of an Ethernet port and look for it on the back of your computer. Once you find this port on the back of your computer, plug one side of the cord into it, then the other side into your modem or router.
