PS3 online without a wireless connection.

If you can't have wireless, then hook up an ethernet cable. Right now you probably just have a wall connection that goes into a modem, that then goes to a PC?

If it is like that, then get a router (might as well get a wireless router) and either use the wireless feature on it, or run an ethernet cable from the modem to your router, then to the PS3 and also the PC.

Okay, thanks. You may have guessed I'm not very PC-savvy. This is veering away from PS3 now but necessary either way, If I bought a wireless router would it involve a lot of a lot of installations and such? I set my internet connection up at about 3 years ago and I have lost all the CD's, passwords and all that jazz. Would that be an issue or will I literally be able to buy a wireless router, hook it up and away we go?

If you've got cable internet, you should just be able to slap the router in between your computer and it'll work automatically when it boots up. If you've got DSL, you might need to clone your MAC address (it'll be in the router's setup page accessed through your web browser) or phone your provider and give them your router's MAC address. Cloning is easier, though.

Once you've got that done, go into the setup, enable wireless, WPA2 security, set a password and a network name, disable SSID broadcasting (for security reasons), and click update.

Then just punch in the SSID (network name), the security type, and the password on your PS3 and you'll be golden.

i have a internet pendrive from that can i get online on ps3

It depends on which router you buy. A lot of them nowadays are very easy to set up. You just put the installation disc into your computer and it guides you through the process. I was really worried about setting up a router myself, but I muddled through, swore a few times, but I got it working and now I'm very glad I did. The worst that can happen is that you can't get it hooked up and you take it back to the store for a refund.
