 Network help I recently bought a PS3 but am having trouble connecting it to the online network. It recognises the Wireless network i will be using but won't let me connect to anything. When i try to connect to sony network it says "a connection to the network could not be established" check settings\etc. So i check my network settings and it says internet connection is enabled.connection method-wireless,signal strength-100%,it has an SSID name and BSSID number(whatever they are), has a channel number etc. what do i need to do?      |

| Re: Network help Is your network encrypted? It may be it cannot connect because you did not put the pass key into your PS3 connection settings. |

| Re: Network help Part of the process when setting up the connection on the PS3 when going wireless is selecting the encryption type- if you do choose an encryption (WEP as an example) it will bring up a blank to enter the key. You will have to go into the router settings to find the key set up to allow passage onto the network. |

| Re: Network help having already done the setup on my ps3(and potentially overlooked/bypassed that) how do i get back to this point to be able to input the key? |

| Re: Network help You simply go back into Network Settings and do the process just as you did before- you will be able to edit any settings you made already and add anything you may have missed. |

| Re: Network help First i would try going into the router settings and making sure all of the ports needed for gaming are open. I've listed the ports needed in a number of the recent threads so a quick search of the forum for "port numbers" should turn them up. Then head into the port Forwarding section of the router settings and enter in each one. |
