So, I plug everything up, but only the CPU connection works. PS3 is doing the same thing it did when I first bought it. It cannnot find the IP address. So, I decided to unplug the router from my CPU, reset the modem and try it that way. (THE OLD WAY)

That worked for about 5 minutes. Had both (CPU and PS3) running an internet connection at the same time. But, all of a sudden the CPU told me I had "limited connectivity" and now I'm back to square one.

My set up:

telephone wire >>> ARRIS Modem (mod# TM402P/110) >>> 5 port Network Hub (model # NH1005-WM) via ETHERNET CORD into UPLINK port >>> PS3 wired connection via ETHERNET CORD port 3 (not the 5th port that's disabled because of UPLINK)


Any suggestions? BTW, I don't want a wireless connection.

You have brought a hub, not a router. A hub will not share your broadband between multiple items, only a router will do this.
