hey guys

i'm trying to connect my ps3 to the internet through an ethernet cable from my PC's cable modem (Motorola SB5101 SURFboard). when i insert the ethernet cable into the PS3, a green light turns on, which i assume indicated there is an established connection. i've connected to the internet at a friends place wirelessly on the PS3 on previous occasions.

i set my internet connection settings on my PS3 to easy and set everything to automatic. but when i test the connection, it tells me "The attempt to obtain and IP Address timed out"

can someone help me out?

i also tried restarting the modem when i switch from my PC to the PS3 but that didn't work either >.<
