Howdy all!I am having a problem connecting to the Internet... I bought a 100ft Ethernet cable to run threw my attic from my master bedroom where my PC is, to my PS3 in my living room. To make things faster here is what the PS3 is telling me: Internet Connection Enabled Internet Connect test Obtain IP Address Succeeded Internet Connection Failed Software update is required Go to settings and perform System update Internet Connection Settings Connection: Enabled Method: Wired Connection Speed and Dupley: Auto- Detect Address Settings: Automatic IP Address: Automatic Test Connection IP Address: Succeeded Internet Connection: Failed System Software update is required Go to Settings and perform System update -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Now it keeps telling me all this stuff over and over and my router is telling me that all is working fine! Any idea what the problem is or what I could do to fix this??? Thanks! Worfsonofmog |

| Your PS3 needs a firmware update before you can do all that you can online. Go into the Settings menu and at the top you will find the System Update. Have this download and install the latest version of the firmware (it will work even with the messages it is giving you) and try the test again after the restart. When it goes to install you will need to connect the controller to the system via the USB port- it will ask for this before starting the install. This sort of thing will be a semi-regular event as they bring in new features. those of us with PSPs are somewhat used to it already. |
