OK, i am at my girlfriends house and she knows nothing about NTL, how here internet works or well anything.

She got herself a PS3 and I am trying to hook it up, unfortunately she has a really old set top box. It has "cable and wireless" on the front.. i don't know how much boxes change..

Anyway she gets her internet through the back of her set top box, this then has a cross over cable which goes to her computer. At her computer end she has some usb converter. I'm not sure what this does.

What i want to do is plug the Playstation 3 directly into the NTL box. I have tried both the ethernet and cross over cables but have had little luck with either.

Does anyone know why this and how i could get it working?

If you need more information please ask and will supply it asap.
