Your 20GB PS3 will only have access online if you have an ethernet cable running directly between it and the router. The router then has to be connected to the modem and then to the phone jack. And no, you cannot connect your PS3 to the internet through your computer. It can only be done through the router.

The only problem that I possibly forsee in your situation is the scenario that your router only has one ethernet jack on it. If that's the case, only your computer OR PS3 can be connected to the internet at one time, not both. If you have two ethernet ports on your router though, it's all good. Just run the cables. Of course, if your router is wireless, then you can use a wireless adaptor (purchase at any electronic store) to connect the computer and just run the ethernet cable to the PS3. Both will then be online.
