Problems PS3 Internet Connection - Page 2

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... I know it's hugely annoying and unfair, let's just hope EA get them fixed soon.

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.
