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.

Can a wireless router work without a Ethernet cable?
You need a Ethernet to connect the router to the networking box. All other things (except desktops) do not need a cord to connect to internet.
A newly bought Ethernet cable that is connected to my PS3 did not connect to the internet and it just says IP Address Attempt Failed Whats wrong?
Many different things could be wrong. The cable could be bad even if it is newly purchased. What do you have the other end of the cable plugged into. Can you unplug the PS3 and verify that the connection works by plugging it into a PC or other ethernet capable device. Many people have though that the ethernet input on the computer was an output which would allow them to use the computer to provide internet for the PS3. Both My PS3 and PC ethernet cables are plugged into the back of my wireless router (for wired connection). The router also has an ethernet cable which is plugged into my cable modem. The router was purchased to allow two items to be connected to the cable modem, but the system will also work if you just unplug one device from the modem and plug in the other. Of course the first time you will have to do the set up for the internet connection.
What does masquerading mean on a computer?
Often, this means MAC masquerading. MAC is the unique hardware address to an ethernet adapter. For instance, your computer would have one MAC address for a wired ethernet port, and another for a wifi adapter.Masquerading means passing off another MAC as the one actually belonging to the adapter.Example:You have a cable modem connected to your cable ISP, and a single computer connected to the modem. Your computer wired ethernet MAC is 11:22:33:44:55:66.You go out and buy a new wifi router+access point, and try to connect it to the modem, and connect your PC to the access point via WiFi. It doesn't work. You connect to the access point but not the internet.Why not?When your modem was initially set up with the ISP, the ISP "provisioned" (allowed access to) the MAC address of your PC (11:22:33:44:55:66).Now that the router is connected to the modem, the ISP sees the MAC address of the router (99.88.77.66.55.44) and does not see the "allowed" MAC address of your PC because your PC is no longer directly connected to the ISP.Proper fix: Call ISP and re-provision the new MAC address of the router.Quick fix: set up the router's MAC masquerading function to transmit the old PC MAC address instead of the router's MAC, tricking the ISP into thinking the old hardware is still connected.
