Hi all

For the last week I have been having huge problems connecting my Playstation3 to the Playstation network. I have been in
touch with them several times and they have been unable to help.

I have got a Belkin wireless router in my house which I have set up and works fine connecting to the internet. I can also
access the internet through my PS3 so I dont think I have a problem with the IP adresses that I have set up. I have also set up the
DMZ in my router for the IP address of the Playstation so that all of the ports are open to the Playstation3.

With all of this set up I still can't get through to Playstation network; when doing an internet test on the PS3 it says 'successful' on
obtaining IP adress and on the internet connection but fails on the Playstation Network.

Have you any advice for me as I am close to taking the router back from where I bought it to exchange for a different one. If you cant advise anything, can you tell me router that you are using to connect and how easy it was to set up.

Also, not sure if it has anything to do with this but suddenly I am unable to connect to hotmail or MSN in IE7 or Mozilla.

Any advice would be much appreciated.
