Okay I've had my PS3 since launch and it's never had ANY problems. I've used the wired connection as well as wireless feature. I like to just switch ethernet cables and power cycle my modem if i need to switch my internet from my ps3 to my laptop or vice versa. (I prefer not to use my router). Since two days my wired connection stopped working! I go to Test Connection and it gets the IP Address but the Internet Connection fails and I get a DNS error. Someone please help?

I've used a wired connection all the time and now its not working. When I use the wired connection through the router it works fine, and so does the wireless. I prefer to have a direct connection to the modem and for some reason it won't work. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
