I would suggest connecting your PS3 to your MacBook Pro wirelessly and your MacBook Pro to the modem via ethernet instead of vice versa. It's easier. Simply read below and steps have been included for setting up such a network. I don't know the features of a PS3 but if your PS3 has a wireless card, you may connect to the internet using your MacBook Pro if you do not have a wireless router. You will need to set up an Ad-Hoc (computer to computer) network as well as set up internet sharing on your MacBook Pro. Simply follow these steps; (1) Open System Preferences on your MacBook Pro, and open "Sharing" (2) On the left column, click Internet Sharing and check the box (3) Use the drop-down menu to select Ethernet in "Share your connection from..." (4) Check the box next to Airport in the section "To computers using..." (5) Close System Preferences and open the Airport menu from your Toolbar (top) (6) Click "Create Network", add a name to your Computer-to-Computer network (7) Leave the Channel as Automatic, add a password if you require (make sure your PS3 is compatible with your chosen level of security), click Ok. (8) Connect an ethernet cable between your broadband modem and MacBook Pro (9) Turn on your PS3 and perform your usual setup when connecting to a wireless network Hope that helped, if you require more assistance or have any problems/questions, please feel free to message me.

It is possible that the router (wireless network) that you are connecting to is not currently connected to a modem (the internet).

If you have access to the router, check to see that the router has an ethernet connection to a modem.
