Greetings all. i've been stuck with this question for a while and thought if any people would know the answer it would be you brainy lot.

Here's the problem. Got a playstation 3 the other day. lovely console and grand theft auto is immense. That's not the issue here though obviously.

My bedroom is mega small but i've got a perfect combination. Computer with modem next to the television with the playstation 3. I thought connecting the ps3 to the internet would be easy.

However i don't have wireless internet. I have a modem with a usb connector to the computer. Firstly the ps3 needs an ethernet connector which obviously i don't have. Secondly i've been told i can't make a wireless network with a broadband connection running through a usb.

So my questions are)

1) How can i get my playstation 3 online?
2) Is there anyway to make a wireless network with a usb based connection?

I'm on virgin media (formely the mighty blueyonder) with a motorola surfboard cable modem sb5100





Here's some helpful pictures i found of my useless modem.

Many thanks if anyone can help.
