Attach the ethernet cable to the ps3 and your pc and you can.

Need to put in a router, or do what clum suggested.

You need a router.. and I think you need a cross-over cable to be able to connect your PC directly to your PS3.

Nope, the PS3's network card will auto-switch if it detects a direct connection.

i have a wired internet connection with only 1 ethernet port.

I'm seeing a diff question here.

Are you saying, you physically ONLY have ONE cat5 jack for internet ??
Because that's exactly the same situation my Son experienced at his
University. Simple solution was a Giga-Switch

Hi mate this what i did and it work great for me.

Plugged in a CAT5e ethernet cable from the ethernet port of my PC to the ethernet port of my PS3

From PC (Windows XP):

went to CONTROL PANEL > NETWORK CONNECTION, right clicked it, select PROPERTY
(On General Tab) Selected INTERNET PROTOCOL (TCP\IP) > clicked PROPERTY
checked USE THE FOLLOWING IP ADDRESS and set the followings to:

IP ADDRESS - 10.1.1.1
SUBNET MASK - 255.0.0.0 (Sometimes you might have to use 255.255.255.0, but both works for me)
DEFAULT GATEWAY - 10.1.1.1

checked USE THE FOLLOWING DNS SERVER ADDRESSES and set the followings to:

PREFERRED DNS SERVER: 10.1.1.1
ALTERNATE DNS SERVER: left blank

FROM PS3:

went to SETTINGS > NETWORK SETTINGS >INTERNET CONNECTION SETTINGS and set the followings to:

Select a method - CUSTOM
Select a connection method - WIRED CONNECTION
Select the operation mode.... blah blah blah... - AUTO-DETECT
IP Address Settings - MANUAL and set the followings to:

IP ADDRESS - 10.1.1.2
SUBNET MASK - 255.0.0.0
DEFAULT GATEWAY - 10.1.1.1
PREFERRED DNS SERVER: 10.1.1.1
ALTERNATE DNS SERVER: left blank

MTU - AUTOMATIC
Proxy Server - NO NOT USE
UPnP - ENABLE and save settings.

Launch FTP Server from PS3 and Start internet explorer not fire fox just add ftp://10.1.1.2 you should be able to see your ps3 hdd click on view then
click open ftp in windows explorer.Dont forget to uncheck USE THE FOLLOWING IP ADDRESS in INTERNET PROTOCOL when your finished.

hope this helps

You need a router.. and I think you need a cross-over cable to be able to connect your PC directly to your PS3.

For wireless you may have to reset the router when you are done so that the router finds the ps3

Goto settings

Goto network settings

Goto network connection, select enable

Goto Internet connection settings just below internet connection-

Push yes when it says you may be disconnected

Select wired or wireless

For wireless use scan or enter manually

Follow on screen instructions.
