| recently i purchased Battlefield Bad Company. when i first started playing everything was awesome. then a couple days later i kept getting booted from the game during online play. a message would come up saying "Connection problem: connection tot the game has been lost. please check your network connection and try again." i check and recheck my connection and every time everything is working fine and i am at 100% connectivity. i am not sure how to fix this problem. if anyone knows anything please let me know. Thanks. |

| Have you played any other games online on your PS3, does this happen regularly with them...? What is happening is that you're losing connection to the host. This could be due to a number of reasons, such as a sudden loss of connection. But what i would put it down to at the moment is the BFBC servers. They're a bit 'unstable' at the moment, lots of laggy games and connection losses. You may just be getting stuck in the middle of this, the only thing to do then would be to wait until the servers are improved, or play at off-peak times... If this is happening often with any other games online though then it is a definite problem with your connection, does this happen with any other game...? |

| I have not tried any other online games yet. i just got my PS3 recently and this is the first online game i have gotten since buying my PS3. But i do not have any problems with any other internet functions with my PS3. |

| You may just have to put this down to the unstable Battlefield servers for the moment. Give it a little more time, maybe a week or so and see if it works better then. If there's still a problem after this time, then we'll go through all of the other options (port forwarding etc) with you, and try and get you gaming comfortably again. |

| hey im having the same issue with battlefield bad company online, i play mgo quite offen aswell as tekken 5. they both work all the time with no problems, any sugestions?? |

| Like we've mentioned before the Battlefield Servers are having issues at the moment. If your connection is fine with other online games, and it's just Battlefield that poses the problem, then there's nothing you or we can do. It's just the Battlefield servers, dimsims. I would suggest to just give it time. They should improve eventually... |

| hello there i wondered if someone can help me, ive set my internet connection up on my playstation 3 using a wired connection through a modem. i did the test and set everything to automatic, and the test came back sucessful, the browser and everything works fine 2. i went on pro evolution soccer 2008 to play a network game online and it comes back wit a port error message??? |

| You'll most likely have to do some Port Forwarding then... Here's a link to a site that will guide you through the Port Forwarding Process: PortForward.Com Just find the exact model # (should be found on the front of your Router) and then use these port numbers: * TCP Ports: 80, 443, 5223, and 10070 - 10080 * UDP Ports: 3478, 3479, 3658, 10070, and 50100 Once you have these in place on the router, this should fix your connection problems. |

| Hi guys i bought a ps3 a few days ago and i want to connect it to the interenet. i remember i had a ethernet cable which connects a desktop with a laptop so i used it to connect the ps3 with my desktop coz my modem doesnt have a lan slot . it's an adsl dial up modem that's why. When i make an internet connection test on my PS3, obtaining the ip address is successful but the internet connection fails with an error saying the connection to the server timed out. 80710092 PLEASE HELP! i want to play online MGO! ohh and one more thing i also made sure my pc was on interent connection. |

| Hello, I need some help with my PS3 internet connection. After reading other threads, I realize im not the only person with problems. I am trying to access the internet via Sky broadband (ADSL) to play online and it refuses to connect. It used to work fine with no problems at all with no port forwarding or complicated setup when connecting via wireless but now all of a sudden the PS3 times out and fails when trying to obtain an IP address during the internet connection test. I have tried it on my girlfriends internet connection which is also ADSL as I thought it was my connection/router but it does the same thing. I have double checked the WEP key and everything . Could it be a malfunction with the PS3 wireless system PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP, any help would be much appreciated as im missing online gaming. ![]() |

| Was there any sort of change made in the router settings that may have led to this? I think your best solution would be to completely re-do your connection settings as well as make some tweaks in the router, either port forwarding or perhaps set up a custom IP for the PS3 and put that in the router's DMZ. |

| Hi Lyndon, Thanks for the prompt reply. I can confirm that no changes have been made to the router and I have tried setting a static IP on the PS3 and still has the same result ![]() |

| Allrighty then- here's a possible simple solution if you haven't tried yet. Power cycle the router (unplug the power for a minute and plug it in again). Sometimes the router's memory get a bit of brain freeze which would cause the connection to act up. If that doesn't work you may want to try either going wired or get into the other settings like port forwarding- the wireless on the PS3 can be a bit flaky occasionally. |
|

| OK, I will try the wired method. You say the wireless facility on the PS3 can be a little flaky, will the problem rectify itself or by any kind of system update when available? reason being is that my router is in the attic |

| If running ethernet cable is a problem one solution for you may be "power networking"- this uses the existing power lines running through the house to network to wherever you want. Companies like Netlink and Linksys have the adapters available now- may run you about $80 or so but it is something to consider. The flaky bit comes from the wi-fi card in the PS3 itself- there are times when it just isn't nearly as dependable. I don't think any sort of firmware update would fix it, they just went a bit cheap on that end. |

| Lyndon, Thanks for your help. I will try your suggested methods. If all else fails, do you think it may be worth looking into the warranty of the PS3 as it is under 1 year old? |

| I'm doubtful if they would say it requires sending in but they most likely would be able to suggest other solutions to get things working. |

| Hey guys, sorry if this is a stupid question but i need some help. I just bought a ps3 but having trouble connecting to the internet. I have a wireless setup using an Netgear WGT624 router. It wont automatically detect my settings so i manually type it in. It is able to obtain the IP address but unable to connect (some sort of DNS error message). My router does not use security access. Also, my signal strength is around about 80% as the router is in my room but i have the PS3 out in the living room, Is this a problem? Any help to get me going would be much appreciated as I've spent quite a bit of time trying to figure out the problem and it is getting a bit frustrating. |

| I wouldn't call it a stupid question- a common one perhaps. If you are getting a DNS error have a look in the router settings and make note of the DNS servers listed in there- these are what you want to have in the Primary and Secondary DNS blanks on the PS3. As for the rest of it, i would suggest checking out the port forwarding on the router. The ports needed are listed in a number of threads in this section (a quick use of the search function for "port forwarding" will find them) and the site PortForward.com - Free Help Setting up Your Router or Firewall will give the step-by-step on how to use them. The signal should be good enough but, to be honest, I much prefer a wired connection if possible for stability. Sometimes it does not take much for the PS3's connection to get interfered with. |

| I just checked my router settings and the DNS servers are blank as it gets this information automatically from the IP. Is there a way to show the DNS addresses? |
|

| ||||
| On your PC head to Run> Type 'CMD' and enter> Type 'IPConfig' and enter. Your DNS Address will then be listed under Default Gateway. |

| Appreciate your help guys, but im still not getting a connection. I port fowarded the ports that needed to open, and i entered the DNS that my IP provided but still getting an DNS error (80710102). What i find interesting though, is that the DNS that i see on the run cmd is different to that of the one provided by the IP. Is it advisable for me to change this setting? I ask this because nothing seems to be wrong with my setup.. I have a few wireless setups running and its all working well (including xbox 360), I just cant seem to connect with the PS3. |
