You plug the CAT 5e cable from the PS3 to the modem. Then you go to the XMB and go all the way to the left and create a user. Then you go all the way to the right and click sign up for a PSN account and do so.

Make sure that you go to the Playstation Store afterwards and download some wallpaper for your PS3 after you sign up.

Welcom3 aboard, enjoy!

Use the cable included to hook up to a modem or router. If you have a wireless router, just run it off that.

if you have a wireless internet then all you have to do is go on your ps3 and click look for networks find your network type you password and the rest is pretty straight forward

Ummm...because you need to hook your PS3 up to your router or modem, not your computer.

Ethernet cable or wireless if you have a router.
