are you hard wired to a modem or using WIFI? How far along are you getting in your connection set up?

Wow, that should be pretty straight forward. I'm not familiar with your router but you should be able to access you router settings by entering http://192.168.1.1 into your PC internet search bar. Your PS3's IP address may need to be given permission to access your router???

just use easy set-up. don't use custom if you don't know what your doing you'll just make more problems for yourself.

Indeed, the only way you would really benifit by doing it by hand would be if you were going to setup a static ip address.

Sorry, I did not mean that it is easy for me, so it should be easy for you. I meant that setting up a hard wired connection is supposed to be easy. To get you router IP, primary and secondary DNS, I think you go to start > accessories > network connections > Right Click on your connection Icon > Properties > should show your router IP and DNS. I could be wrong. I'm at work and cant simulate it.
Also, as I mentioned earlier, If you need your router IP,DNS,SubNetMask etc... On your internet search bar on your PC, search for 192.168.1.1 . Thats probably your router's default IP address. From there, you can look through / adjust your router's settings.
