ok so here's my story in full, my PS3 could not reach my wireless modem becuase it was too far away and could not be moved closer, so I decided to call in a cabler who will put a cable through the house or roof im not sure where but it will connect to where I need the connection, whilst waiting for him (1 week)

I had to play online so I got a ethernet cable and dragged through my house to my PS3 and my Computer, it all worked fine my PS3 could play online and it was perfect, but I wanted both of them to be connected at the same time (PC and PS3) so I went out and bought a router that allows you to plug the main ethernet cable running through my house in to the router and then more ethernet cables come out of the router to reach my Computer and PS3, which is great cos when the cabler does his thing this router would come in handy....

So now my Computer's internet seems to be running fine, but my PS3's internet is not, it allows me to sign in and I think go on to the internet and playstation network BUT THATS IT, thats all I get to do, I cant do the following:

-play online (when I star Warhawk up and log on it sing out of the network and says its not connected, but when I leave the game it signs in again WTF).

-view mine or anyone elses DP.

-media share.

-download anything from the Playstation Network.

And the great thing is that I think I know what the problem is, UPnP is not available it was before but now isnt, so im sure that this is the cause, so does anyone know how to make it available???? thanks so much if anyone can help....

my internet modem is a Netgear Bigpond Cable internet.

and the router that I bought is a ****** brand name.

I'm getting the same thing too, right now. As soon as I log into a game, I get an error message saying that I am disconnected. The error message code is 80028ED4. Does yours come with a code?

you didn't need another router. you needed a switch. more than likely, your second router is blocking some of the protocols the ps3 uses. you'll need to logon to the router and "open" it up. if there's a firewall on, turn it off.

That happened to me a few months ago. I went into my router config and updated it. Since then I haven't had any issues.

On mine, Media Sharing is turned off but to no avail. Go to Network Settings -> Media Sharing. I'm trying to enable UPnP cause on my PS3 its unavailable but it is on my router.

It depends on what kind of router you have. For some it's 192.168.1.1. Also the default username/password combination could be anything like admin/(blank), admin/admin, admin/password, user/pass, username/password, etc.

maybe you need to forward some ports/turn off the firewall in the router. theres a site and i think its something like www.portforward.com

but dont quote me on that. i dont have upnp or NAT type 2 :( but everthing is fine asides from that

you don't need a switch - u need a hub (much cheaper) just to extend the length of ur cable (because u already have a router it seems)

then u don't even need to set NAT at all just let DHCP choose ur device's IP for u and it should work fine.
