do an internet connection test and tell me where it fails

obtain ip address?
internet connection?
playstation network?
upnp?
nat type?

it is alright untill it hits internet connection and the error comes up saying it timed out. it seems loads of people are having the same problem when i searched it online .

80710102 is an ip conflict change it so that the last two code things are on digit example 200.100.2.3!

If you know, your current IP it in as an website address without www. or http. A router control screen should pop up!

When you're setting your connection up to your PS3 choose manual and specify
your IP address to be something like 192.168.1.3 (thats what I use and I have
Eircom myself).
