Default Re: ps3 wired connection problems

Okso i contacted AOL directly, because I couldn't get the DNS on my computer, so I gave AOL a ring for the DNS numbers, but the guy on the phone said that I couldn't connect wirelessly (Even though you should be able to) he rang his supervisor and he said that there isn't anything they could do, but to ring PlayStation3 helpline...So I will ring them tomorrow morning.

Maybe it is my modem, I have had it for...about a year, year and a half, maybe its too old. Its the BT Voyager 190 ADSL one. I can't think of much else...

I've tried creating a wireless connection from my computer, but all the WLAN adapters I have bought don't work on my Windows Vista.

Ok so I bought another WiFi USB that is compatible with Vista (http://www.lm-technologies.com/ci/in...ts/details/41), however I have another problem...*sigh* I can't use it to transmit a signal, it says its not connected, then when I diagnose the problem it says....
http://img142.imageshack.us/my.php?i...roblem2yv8.jpg

Heres what a picture of what I mentioned earlier, that it doesn't connect, but it notices that it is there!

http://img230.imageshack.us/my.php?image=problempl9.jpg

I've tried sharing a connection by clicking on the LAN network, selecting properties and then clicking on the shared connection bit but it says theres an error. I've tried bridging a connection between LAN and Wireless but nothing.

Can someone help?

Law, you may want to try the simpler solution and get a basic wireless router- they can be a lot easier to set up than messing with Windows to set up connection sharing.

Admiral, that's due to just going with a direct connection to the modem. You need to power it down every time you switch back and forth to free up the IP address your internet provider gives. get yourself a router to share the connection between the two and save some effort with the swaps.

i just bought a ps3 2nd one in two days as the first one failed to read disks.
But this one wont connect to the internet. the first one did fine.
it finds the IP but then fails connection, wouldnt bother me so much but i wanna play little big planet and it says it needs a system update from the internet (why its not on the disk i dont know)
I have a speedtouch router which was sent to me by aol. I've tried all the fixes in this forum but none have helped can anyone help me here.
Thanks for your time
Stacey

If the various solutions listed here do not help, Stacey, you may need to contact Sony to see what else they can suggest (and maybe AOL as well as they supplied the router).

Thankfully it connected to the internet first try today, after speaking to sony who said contact aol and then aol, who said there was nothing they can do!!
i think the playstation just needed to be off for a while to get the new router settings after i'd changed them, but its working perfectly today

I have not gotten it to work by wire either, and that is what is funny (or not funny at all) because i have had to deal with wireless, and have had to get nat type 2 to play gta4 racing online. Anyways, yes its a pain mine works wireless and have nat typ 2, but the ps3 wireless is crappy, and i have 8 gbps internet and a 2.2 gbps router so i should be cake walking.

What the case is here obviously, besides ps3 networking being bad from the get go, is that an onboard wireless device is usually cheap, like in laptops. apparently this one in the ps3 is no better.

Anyways, i hop eyou guys can get it to work wired cause i cant

Stinger, you may want to check some of the other threads where i have given suggestions on setting tweaks within the router. Even going wired you should add your PS3's MAC Address to the "allowed" list and make sure you have DHCP enabled. If your router allows it, set a specific IP address aside just for the PS3 using that same MAC Address. Port forwarding is also a must- they are listed in the pinned thread at the top of this section.

I need some help!

I live on campus apartments at my college. am using an Ethernet cable that comes from the wall and into my PS3. I manually enter ALL of my information yet I just can't connect. I registered my MAC address with my ISP too. I get an error code for a DNS error: 80710102...My ISP said they don't know what is wrong and that some people can get them online but they don't know why mine isn't.

I got my information from viewing my internet info on my computer. That didn't work. I also found information on my PS3 and used that info and it still didn't work... I am completely lost and any help would be great.

Usually that error comes from not having the DNS addresses match up with what your ISP says. Doublecheck with them on the proper numbers.

Also, you may run into trouble with the campus network as these are usually buttoned down tight in regards to the ports that are allowed to be open. You may be running into certain ones being closed that need to be open.

This may sound dumb but I just want to double check everything. How should I go about finding the numbers and double checking them? They definitely match up from what I see on my comp. Also, they said they don't block anything

You should ask your providers about the DNS servers, it's possible the computer brought up different numbers than you need.

Part of it might be the distance between you and the people you are joining up with. Lag plays a big part in most games so if you can, try joining with people closer to home.

You might also want to try checking your router settings, it's possible some tweaks in the port forwarding may improve things.

Go to the thread pinned to the top of this section- I listed the ports needed for the Playstation network there along with a link to a site that guides on how to get to where you enter them. You may also want to read the manual file a bit that comes on the CD with the router.

I have Dial up AOL and while using Aol my phone line is disabled, yet I tried with my DSL Modem (Qwest) to connect my ps3 on internet with cable. But my question is do I need two ethernet cables or do you recommend me? I tried almost everything and no solution. I also get a DNS error and time-out. Can I get Ps3 internet by connecting my ethernet cable from pc to ps3. I also connected wireless but then canceled my wireless internet because did no help. Can you please help me if possible?

You won't get NAT1, that is for a direct connection to the modem. However, a quick reboot of the router should have your connection showing NAT2, which will reflect your having the ports open and let the traffic through.
