well I'm kind of a cheap bastard with my internet and I'm trying to piggy back on a neighboors connection, so I can't hardline it right now as I don't have a dedicated connection. I'm going to go over to my buddy's place to hard line it at his place eventually. if that doesn't work I'm just going to have to go back to best buy to get another one.
I'm going to try calling Sony as well to see what's going on. I'm just kind of stumped why the system won't recognize any connections. I'm going to try and restore all the default settings tonight, reboot the system and see if that does the job. I'm hoing that might somehow do it so I don't have to do the hardwire.
