Hey, I need help with my wireless connection. Everytime I try to connect to the internet, it says go to the settings and fix something, so I go there. But when I try to fix the internet settings, after I put in my WEP key, it keeps saying:

The attemp to obtain the IP address timed out.
The WEP key you entered may not be correct.

I know for sure that the WEP key is correct so I have no idea whats wrong. Plz help.

Having a problem again...

I get the error code (8002AD23) 30 minutes into playing and if i try and sign back in its gives me error code 80010201. I cant connect to the internet at all (even the internet browser doesnt work) unless i turn my ps3 off and on again. I've also noticed that when i get the first error code the light next to the ethernet port switches off. I think it's to do with my network and not the ps3 as a few days ago i had no problems for 3 days until now.Im using wired and have tried wireless but no difference and using a Belkin router. Any help would be appreciated!

Oh and if i do an internet test it says it failed to obtain the IP

Hi Guy's. Cannot connect to PSN. Checked my internet settings, all succeded. Still cannot connect, even though i can surf the web check emails etc. Could this be my ISProvided capping my signal as i have reached my download limit?

Thanks Lyndon. Tried connecting other ways, playstation store no bother, midnight club la online, no bother. The problem seems to be with "Grid" the game, wont let me connect,says no connection detected.

Any idea whats wrong with my PS3? Does it need replacing? (post 203)

Thanks Lyndon. Eventually got on last night.

Hi,

I've trawled through this thread and not found an answer to my problem, can anyone help please?

Basically, I am connecting my PS3 through a wired connection into a Belkin N+ router. I have manually setup the IP address etc and opened all the relevant ports.

I am able to connect when switching on the PS3, but after 3-5mins the connection drops and I get the 80010201 error that everyone seems to get. No matter what i do i continually get this message until i reboot and then the same thing happens again?

I have setup a reserved IP which seems fine and even added my PS3 to the DMZ but with the same results.

Anyone?

Unfortunately it appears I have the latest version 1.00.23. There is a beta in pre-QA status at version 1.00.25 which i'm reluctant to try as yet, the things it lists as fixing are:

an updated ADSL driver that improves ADSL sync speed on certain lines
a problem with having more than 4 MAC addresses in the MAC address filter is solved
a problem with very long pre-shared keys for WPA security is solved
a problem with forwarding port 80 and using Remote Management at the same time has been solved

Do any of those look likely candidates?

Thanks

Finally got to the bottom of my connection problems...

Turns out if I have my PC switched on when i switch on my PS3, after a few minutes my connection on my PS3 drops. If my PC is switched off when i switch on my PS3 my connection is fine!

There must be a service or something on my PC that is interfering with the PS3 connection. At least i have a work around so i'm happy!

Thanks for all the tips guys.

my ps3 is having problems connecting to the internet, half the time it will say it can't obtain the IP address. But occasionally when it does connect, it is really slow and only stays connected for a few minutes then gives me an error message, why is this?

my problem is i have optus pre paid broadband and net gear routor but im not sure how to obtain my ip adress

Hi everyone 1st post, having read through this thread ive been trying to sort out my little brothers ps3 to connect to the internet. Ive changed the wep key on the router to 'none' to try that, but now i cant connect to the internet with the laptop. Any ideas how I can get the laptop to connect to the internet? I want the laptop online while trying to sort out the ps3. I know its abit off topic but worth a try.

Many thanks! Stu.

Thanks for the reply Lyndon. Ive read on this thread it may be a good idea to change the SSID and Wep Key on the router then input these on to the PS3. Im sure i can do this, but have you any idea how to change the laptop settings to look for the new wep key? thats what im struggling with really.

Many thanks, Thorpy.

Thanks for the quick response Lyndon. Yeah I understand what you meant in your first post to me, sorry if i was un-clear in my reply.

I dont know the original wep key. I was going to try and change the wep key on the router so its easy to remember, then make the laptop look for the new wep key and go from there. Is that possible? hope that makes sense..

many thanks again!!

Thorpy.
