As stated in my other post, I would recommend using this, because it
updates the name servers automatically if your isp changes them.

This is the usual bahaviour of network activity leds. Permanent on means
link to switch/hub in this direction is ok, but no traffic. Blinking
means traffic in this direction. Along with the corresponding led at the
switch you get a complete status of the link and traffic.
I did not configure ethernet yet (and ifconfig did not list eth0 this
morning, only wlan0), so the ps3 might still be the big exception from this.
