How do you hook up Ethernet cable to ps3?

You do not connect the PS3 ethernet cable to the computer. Just as you connect an ethernet cable to your PS3 to allow it to go online your computer may also have a spot to connect the ethernet cable to allow it to go online. The way the completed system will be set up is that ethernet cables are connected to a router for both the computer and the PS3 and the router is connected to the modem to allow online access to both your computer and the PS3. If you do not have a router you will need to purchase one and until then if you have a computer with online access the computer could be connected directly to the modem which you can unplug and plug in the PS3 to the modem with an ethernet cable. Then you go to network setting on the PS3 and complete the internet connection. In order to use your computer again online you need to unplug the PS3 and Plug the computer back in.

How do you perform wired connection on PS3?

Purchase an ethernet cable (I prefer a cat 6 but cat 5 will work). Next you need an internet connection and it has a monthly fee.. If you have a computer hooked up to the internet you have an internet connection. Plug the ethernet cable into the back of the PS3 and run the ethernet cable to your cable modem. Unplug your computer and plug in the PS3. If you want to keep both always wired then you need to purchase a router. Then you plug the modem into the router's in spot and both the PS3 and Computer into the router. If you only have dial up for your computer I have no Ideal if a connector is possible.

How can you get internet on your ps3 if you only have one Ethernet cable?

Buy another cable they are cheap. You can always plug in the PS3 and unplug whatever was and switch back and forth like you would if you needed to purchase a router. That does work better if you at least have two ethernet cables and only need to switch at the modem between PS3 cable and Computer cable unplugging the device you are not using and then plug in the one you want too.
