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.

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.

Thanks a lot for your help and insight. hopefully this problem will go away soon.

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 ? I havn't had chance to try the wired method as im a bit confused as to why it used to work fine via wireless.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP, any help would be much appreciated as im missing online gaming.

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

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 and maybe a little difficult to run a wired connection. Maybe thinking if I run a wired connection for a while, would it be worth trying wireless at somepoint in the future?

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?

OK, Thanks for your help.

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 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?

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.
