Thanks in advance.

Need some help please!

I have had my PS3 for over a year and have never had a problem but just in the last few days I keep getting a DNS error when trying to connect to the playstation network. If I enter hockey for example and keep selecting to play online and try to connect to the network it will keep giving me the error message and then after about 8-10 attempts it will let me in and I can play online as long as I don't change games or turn the machine off. If I test the internet connection with the PS3 it always checks out until I get to the Playstation network and it then fails. Haven't changed any settings in the PS3 or router so I really don't know what to do. If anyone has any ideas please let me know.

Thanks

thank you! but now i have the problem 80710102 i posted everything but came up with this can u help me? i mean it found the ip adress just fine but it checks the internet access and it fails... im pretty sure that i entered the DNS right because i went to my command prompt and by the way is the default gateway the same as your DNS? im just asking because i saw 3 DNS adresses and 1 default gateway

Lyndon staff do you have any ideas for the problem I posted?

i can download things from the playstation store, but i can't download updates for games to play online. i keeps saying "an error occurred during the download operation. (80710723)"

i don't know what that is but someone told me to disable the media server connection and that worked.

okay so when i try to test out the connection it says that the key information exchange timed out whats going on?

Ok I am really bad with technology! My PS3 is getting 100% signal and everything seems to be right except that when I try to go to the playstation store or anything like that it says that "A connection to the network could not be established." And then it tells me to check my settings. I don't know what to do!

If I'm reading the correct thread (on the first page) there wasn't a page link.

I am using Comcast as my provider.
Am getting a succesful 'Obtain IP Address'
Am getting a faliure on 'Internet Connection'

I do not have a PC or a router (at the house), it is direct connect, I can use it successfully on my PS2 to play Final Fantasy XI, and all other games that just require a network adapter. I have a friend with a similar problem, but his was fixed but getting someone else (unprotected) ethernet. Would anyone be able to help me solve this problem?

Hi. I have an 80gig PS3 running firmware 2.52. I'm trying to connect to the internet through a Linksys WRK54G wireless router. I keep getting the error code 80010201 and a statement saying that an ethernet cable is not connected, when it is... I've tried resetting the router and modem numerous times, I've also tried inputting the networking numbers myself. The most recent thing i did was a complete reformat of the system. I just bought the system and have never been able to get it online. Please help.

It still gives me the same problem. I'm thinking of testing it on my friends router before i buy a new one. (my current modem and router setup is about 5 or 6 years old...). Is it possible the ethernet port is bad? Or should I try something else?
I also tried direct connecting to the cable modem itself only to get the same problem.

wen i try to connect it fails on the IP address

Can someone help me also? When I first bought mine I had no problems until one day it decided not to connect at all.

I tried to attempt another connection but it stays on "Checking network configuration... Please wait"
