oh man, now it says internet connection failed=( dns error of some sort. but i can sign in to my psn account. what seems to be the problem? can you send me a detailed how-to with if you were using a modem like mine?

hey bro my dns is already okay. but still getting nat3.is my use of a switch hub the reason why its nat3?is it possible to get a wireless router and connect to the hub?the modem is in another room and the only way i can get internet into my room is using hub. i am asking this as i can't buy a wireless router without first checking if it works because in my country routers are still expensive. its like this: ROOM1 has my PC and the modem,i used hub in ROOM1 and connected a utp cable from ROOM1 to ROOM2(ROOM2 is where my PS3 is located.)both rooms are separated by walls. I can't put the router in ROOM1 because the signal cant penetrate the wall. so i am thinking of getting a wireless router(assuming ill get nat2 by doing that) and put the wireless router in ROOM2, in turn the wireless router will be connected via utp cable to the hub in ROOM1? i hope you can picture it out thanks a lot!!

so what you are saying is ill replace the hub with a router?and connect a utp cable from my ps3 to the router?PS3-router-modem?my modem is a prolink adsl modem/router, is it okay for double router?wont i still get nat 3 because it is being double firewalled?

thanks bro!!ill try it out.you have been very helpful thanks=)

Is this thread still open? Well...I finally got my PS3...best buy ever!! But before going with my internet issues I have one question.
I got my Internet service from my cable operator...they installed a modem with an Ethernet out-cable which goes to my computer...Does this cable go to the PS3? I already tried but failed miserably...I read the threads and tonight I'm going manual with everything but my problem might be that this cable is not even the right one. To me it doesn't make sense to plug a router to my modem...Which info should I take from my PC and the network settings? I'm gonna do the switch off modem thing...thanx for your time.

I am using a wired connection directly from the wall from my apartment internet service provider. i have enterred all the information manually but i am continually getting the successful obtaining of ip adress but a failed internet connection with the error 80028E06. I have read all the previous posts but none have really told me how to deal with this problem with a direct wired connection with no router involved. What do i do?
