HELP PS3 Question?

Question

Hey guys, I have comcast cable and I am trying to hook my Ps3 up, I have a ethernet cable running from the PS3 to the back of my modem but it is saying that it can't find a IP address, already talked to Sony, and they referred me to the comcast internet provider and of course they did not know what I was talking about. its not a wireless connection but its a wired connection. Please help!!!!!!

Answer 1

If it is a cable modem (i.e. the box only has one ethernet port to plug in either your PC or the PS3), then plug in the PS3, and resart the modem. Either press a reset button, or pull the power cord of the modem and replug it.

This should get an IP adress to the PS3.

However, I'd recommend getting a Router. Ask Comcast for compatible devices. Plug the router into the cablemodem, and your PC(s) and PS3 into the router.

If getting a router is not possible, connect the PS3 with a crossover ethernet cable with the ethernet port on your PC.

Then connect the PC with the modem via USB (if the modem supports it) or a second network card.

Then run the Internet connection Sharing Wizard on your PC.

Answer 2

Hook through a router, than to PS3. By the way, you should use router with VPN support. Wired or not - your choice, if I were you, I would use wired connection, because wi-fi isn't stable, it isn't fun, when connection goes down smack in the middle of the game. If you want wi-fi really bad - make sure PS3 isn't far away from router and there are no obstacles in the way.

Answer 3

reset the router...Ifno reset button then unplug it and replug it in.... If that doesn't work use the comcast netwrok configuration on the Computer to get the router to recognise the ps3 ...
