The related link will provide more information. After you have a place in your house to plug in both ends of the Ethernet cable like a router or modem and the PS3 and you have DSL or Cable Broadband service setting up the PS3 is very easy. Plug in the cable to the router or modem (you may need to purchase a Router if you have other internet devices and want to have them all remain connected, otherwise you can swap Ethernet cables each time you want to switch devices) and into the back of the PS3 {Ethernet cables come in different lengths (6-8 ft 14 25 50 etc) and in Cat 5e or the better CAT 6 and can be purchased on line for the lowest prices and largest selections or are available locally at Lowe's Home Depot Best Buy Walmart Kmart etc ( I purchased a 50 foot Gold Plated Cat 6 Belkin from EBay "buy it now" for $20 delivered and had it a few days later) I ran it through a hole into the basement after leaving the router and up to the hole I drilled behind the PS3}
Once the cable is plugged into the back of the PS3 go to network settings at the bottom of the PS3 and the PS3 will automatically connect after you click and you can then go to a different part for the connection test.
