hey I was wondering if someone could help me with my ps3. I've set up a secure network in my apartment for my compter and my roomates, but since setting up my ps3 in the last few months I've been getting some disconnects from the PS network (and especially while playing online) and I've been getting disconnected on my computer. I have a linksys wireless G router, and I think that this problem has to do with the DHCP settings. I'm just not exactly sure how to set this straight. Any help would be great. Thanks.

hey i can't sign into my ps3 network but i can browse the web through my ps3, i'm connected directly to a modem instead of using a router, any help would be appreciated

Hi Lyndon, all of a sudden from 30/12/08 around about 10:00am my ps3 does not connect to playstation network. It worked before that as i was playing LBP with a friend of mine then i turned off my ps3 for a while to get some breakfast, then went on my computer than i decided to go back on my ps3 all of a sudden it did not connect to playstation network. It took about 1 minute to respond and it said a message and at the end of the message it said please check your internet connection details, [settings] > [Network settings]. I was wondering if you could please help me out. By the way i redone the same settings as i used before and i then did a internet connection test. As i was waiting for the "Obtaining IP address" a message came up saying "Internet connection test complete" (near enough to that) and next to where it said "IP address" It said fail.

What do you mean a "quick power cycle of the router"? Turn it off for a while then back on? One more thing when i went on the internet it said check your connection settings [settings] > [Network settings] Then there was a phew digits in brackets (80130182) Do you think you could tell me what it means?

ok thank you, i'll try it and get back to you

Can you tell me what this means please (80130182)?

Oh my god. Thank you so much it works. Well i did it longer than 30 seconds . I'd say about 2:00 hours hehe as i went Birmingham, but thank you again so much.

My nephew is having troubles getting online with his new PS3



In his system settings it says besides the IP Address in brackets (private network settings only) and is not connecting online though the IP address is showing up as connected then fails to get by the ISP on the test connection.

how do i change this??

under my IP address it does not state that it's private networks only??

Any helps much appreciated.

Hi.. i have problem with my network eversince i switched my internet service provider. I use a wireless router and everytime i try to connect to the internet i get an error. My computer and my laptop still work thats why im a little confused. When i go into network settings on my ps3 i get a signal str % and ip address but next to internet connection it says failure. Any advice ?

ive read some of the comments and i should probably add that my ISP switched from legal to illegal so i cant really call any1 for support is there any other way to get the info that i need ?

Kk.. Well ill try to figure it out. Thx for Help

I'm having problems with my connection (wireless), it worked fine not to long ago, but now it can't obtain an IP adress when I try to connect to the net. Will it be another simple reboot?, help me please. Also. The guy who lives above me in my flat is using my connection, will this change anything?.

I have problem regarding this PS3 Internet Connection Setup.
Its wireless, I know my SSID,WEP is correct.
The rest of the other settings i didn change. (Example-DHCP,Proxy Server etc)
I left those as the default setting.

Router is Linksys WRT54-G

The error : "The connection to the access point TIMEOUT."

Please help me.
****I have the same problem when accessing from my PSP.****
