Depending on what was doing on the Wii at the time (downloading from the store for example) it could have been taking up all the bandwidth. Usually this isn't much of a problem.

Urgh, great... Ill just keep trying all your suggestions and such, and no my wii wasnt downloading at the time, would unplugging my router and then plugging it back in do anything? And please could you add me on MSN because it would be so much easyer! Thanks

That may well help- sometimes the modem and router will get a bit of "brain freeze" and make this sort of thing happen. You could try giving them a power cycle of about 30 seconds- 1 minute.

Good to hear,Josho- trying a wired connection was going to be the next suggestion. I find it's much more reliable than using the wi-fi.

The same happened to me but then this computer specialist said to change band's because the ps3 is not clever enough like a pc to change bands if it cant get ip address or go online he said change it from default 11 to 8 and 9 and the problems should be resolved ! if u cant find band then maybe it is also known as channel ?

What if the PS3 Says "(Private Networks Only)" Under The IP Ad? How Would I Fix That?

No, Josho, it wouldn't. Ethernet cable has a slightly wider plug to it than regular phone cord, it would not even fit.

Purdye, you would need to turn on Internet Connection Sharing on your laptop for that set up to work.

One other alternative would involve your power outlets, Josho- it's called "powerline networking". It involves small devices that plug into your power outlets and use the house wiring to spread the internet access wherever you need it.

Now, the devices are a bit pricey but it may be your best solution if you can't get a good wireless connection and can't run ethernet upstairs.

Josho, on the PSN log in page there is a button to use if you have forgot your password. If you can answer the secret question you set up Sony will send your pass to the e-mail address you use for the log in.

In that case you may need to call Sony and verify your info (including the incorrect e-mail). They should then be able to correct it and send you your pass.
