Answer 1

if you're talking about the ethernet cable then you plug that into the back of your ps3 then into the back of your router or if your router doesn't have an ethernet port (socket) then you will have to use the port in the back of your desktop but then you'll have to keep your pc on whenever online gaming

Answer 2

From the model you give it sounds like it's a D-Link adsl router. Using the USB connection on the PS3 won't be possible. It will need sftware installed to use the USB connection and it isn't compatible.

Your best option is to use the Ethernet connection on the PS3 and use the USB connection on your computer. The router should have come with an installation disk that will let you install and use the USB connection. It isn't as fast as the Ethernet connection but it shouldn't be something you'll notice too much.

There is one more option, but I don't know  if the router will support it. You can go to pretty much any electronics store and ask for an Ethernet switch. Basically all it is is a little box that 'll let you add extra ethernet ports. Another router will also work, but they're more expensive and you really don't need it.
