A Stupid Question

[wik2007]

If i dont use a router and therefore dont share any internet connection plugging my broadband ethernet cable directly into the PS3

Why do cant i connect to the Playstation network since last Thur 24th.

My Internet works perfectly with a PC

I need help, Playstation Support are giving me the run around

Use the search tool dude.....top of the page...loadsa people have had
similar probs that'll help you out....

You're post is also difficult to understand. I gather that you're not using a router
to connect your PS3 and you're wondering why it works for PC and not PS3 ??

You'll need the router as it's most likely a broadband modem too...your PC
may have a built in modem......

All in all you'll need to use the router for your PS3....


One more thing....how is your longevity as long as it is and yet you've only posted
for the first time today !!?!

A router is now a system requirement is it

My system work perfectly via router or without router for the last 12months plus, why not now

The stickies or forum threads did not answer my questions, unfortunately

Point to note I updated folding home today, so my ps3 has internet connectivity ????????

I hope this can be the start of many posts, maybe i can offer something to somebody

I needed a kick start

Who is your ISP?

I had to go in and set the DNS server address on the PS3 and my PC to get them to connect to tinternet the other day. Worth a try

[wik2007]

I'm using a company called wireless connect, no prob with them so far,
I have internet on my network, must check the DNS settings on the PS3
If i can put down GTA4, awesome, who needs the psnetwork

[Madman]

Check you're IP is different on your PS3 to any PC's you've connected to the router.
Check your DNS settings too. (Try going to the router's home page on your pc, the web address for your router is often 192.168.1.254 it should give
you all the info you need....)

Oh and officially....Welcome !!

Checked setting again and i have 3 different ip addresses set by dhcp server

All via Belkin mimo g router

Laptop (wireless) 192.168.0.147
PS3 (wired) 192.168.0.146
Desktop (wired) 192.168.0.237

DNS for all is 192.168.0.1
Default Gateway is 192.168.0.1
DHCP Server is 192.168.0.1

When i change the ps3 ip to 192.168.0.147 ip conflict occurs

Any suggestions

thats because that ip address is taken. do an internet connection test on urps3 and tell us where it fails

[wik2007]

Its failing at Playstation Network, I have internet in the PS3 browser, i even updated folding home and can use that.

[mmccx]

then lower the firewall settings, or open the psn ports on the router, or put your ps3 into your router dmz, these are the only solutions i can think of

[wik2007]

Tried everything , even resetting router and setting up network again
Set DMZ, Ports etc and no sucess.

7 pics on flickr with the details

Would appreciate if someone could take look and see is anything wrong

put the secondry dns the same as the first and set ur connection on the router from dynamic to always on

[wik2007]

Tried setting the 2nd DNS the same and changing from dynamic ip to static

I just dont know anymore!!

I'm holding out for a system update to solve it, its a long shot.

[guil07]

try opendns.com for the dns address i'm not sure but i'm nearly certain that ur dns cant be the same as the gateway
