I am new!

Ok so I am trying to connect my PS3 to the internet and i succeed. I get the browser and everything but when I go to download actual updates for games I get an error and it cannot download. I also cannot play any games online. My signal strength is ok, usually between 30% and 60%. I read some answers before and saw this port forwarding business. I have a lynksis WRT110 router which I am using for wireless and I have no idea how to do what you say about the port forwarding. I checked the site you gave and I am more confused than ever on how to do the port forwarding. Help me plz.

So I changed DNS servers to the one above, still no luck, same DNS error message. I've played around with my router settings a whole lot trying to figure out what might be wrong but still not getting through.

I guess just about most avenues have been explored and I'm just about to give up with it for now. I'll try again soon but i don't know what else could be done.

Appreciate the help guys..

Hello
so I decided to go blow my student loan on a ps3, all is cool, how ever when It came to linking up my ps3 to the internet in my room I hit a problem, I went threw the steps under ‘Internet connection settings’, however at the end where it tests the internet connection it obtains the IP successfully but the internet connection times out and as an error (80028e01) I’m living I student halls so my ps3 connects via an Ethernet cable to a Ethernet plug in the wall, so I don’t have any modems or routers in my room. My pc connects to the internet without any problems. any ideas of what’s causing this problem and how I could sort it?
Any help would be much appreciated , thank youuuuuuuuu

Hello,

I've been using my PS3 online for several months without too many problems, but in the last week or two I've started getting a new problem and I don't know what's up with it. I keep getting signed out of the PS network when I'm in the middle of something, usually when I'm playing a game I think. I have a router/ modem with a wired connection to my PS3. I noticed tonight that the internet connection LED on the front of the router was off just after I got signed out. This only seems to happen on PS3 though, never when my PC is connected to the internet. I can usually sign in again straight after, but this cuts me off in the middle of games and is very annoying. I've done power cycling, but it still ends up losing the connection after a short while. Does anyone have any ideas what might be causing this? Any help would be appreciated.

I shouldn't be, but I think you're right about it being an ISP issue, as I noticed yesterday that it's not just when I use the PS3 that this happening, as I originally thought. Thanks for the reply anyway Rob.

For some ungodly reason my ps3 has the worst internet connection in the world. I go through my modem. Ive read that the wired connection works "heavenly". But that is not my case. When i switch my internet to my desktop i have perfect connection. Ive tried rebooting my modem over and over agian but still nothing. Also i can sign in just fine and surf the web with no problems. PLEASE HELP ME I NEED MY COD4 FIX!

Hey, I have a problem with my ps3 internet connections. I use wired connections. It says my user id fail and i used automatic. It wont tell me about my internet connections, why? Its blank. Please help me!
