Hi there,
just thanking you for your help a few days ago.
I had problem putting my ps3 onto my lan through my router. I was getting 80710102 error code with error message: an error occured while resolving the name with the server.
Seeing as nothing worked automatically as it should through the router i then went through and did everything manually dns nos the lot and lo and behold still did not work!
The problem i relised in the end was that my router although an 8port ethernet switch is so old that they no longer make them and therefore it was my router causing all the problems! At least with your help i eliminated all other possibilties before discovering it was a router problem. I have a new one winging its way from amazon as we speak!!!
I am using ps3 straight through the modem and it works like a dream!!
Even no delay on internet game playing as you used to get on the pc (ok only a few secs delay but it makes a difference!)
But thank you for your help and fast replies and i hope i've posted this thankyou in the right place i'm a bit new to this posting thing!!!!

I need help/guidance about COD4 online. Until recently, about 3days ago, I could find a game no problem, now whenever i go online with it i get the message DOWNLOADING GAME NSETTINGS on screen for 45mins or until i get ticked off n turn the unit off.

any ideas why this is happening?

if that was the case would it not be affecting my laptop also?

it workd thanks mate

PS3 internet problem solved.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I to had the same problem with my PS3. I could not access the Internet. I kept getting DSN error messages. Here is how I solved my problem.

1. I upgraded my wireless router ( D-Link 524) version from 3.00 to 3.23.

2. I changed my SSID name from default.

3. I changed my WEP password from the default 9 zeros to my phone number (easy to remember)
4. I went to Network connections on my PS3.
5. Changed my SSID and WEP password and to my suprise, it worked.

Please e-mail me if this solved your problem. I hope this saves someone a little time.

PLEASE HELP!
My ps3 connection is very low on any game i go on and glittches
but on my connection test it says everything is fine
and i have 100% signal.
So why cant i get a good connection?

Hi i'm new to the site i've got a problem and that is that when i try connecting i keep getting DSN error messages. I've typed in the right ip address, dns ip and subnet mask ip. It says ip addres: success but then the error message. And yes, i've also tried doing it automatically.

Please help me.

Yeah im sorry, I didn't make myself just clear enough. I'm using a wired connection from my modem and i don't really know what ssid and all that stuff eb was talking about is, so i probably should check the manual ( thought of that just now) sorry for any inconvenience but thank you for your answer.

The SSID is the name of the modem/hub/router your PS3 will be trying to connect too. You haven't been an inconvenience at all? If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask. It'll be a pleasure to try and help...

Mainly what Eb is saying is change the wep and SSID of your router (by going into its network settings) to something else and input this on your PS3 after. That will rule out any indication that its a problem with your password or a general mistake or something similar, if it doesn't then work that is...
