Are you using wifi? It may be a weak connection.

You may also want to try resetting your router. I had a similar problem when trying to connect my PS3 via wifi originally. What I did was open the config page on the host computer and completely reset all settings to default. (I also changed the name of the network and added a password but that's optional)

Once that was done, it worked like a charm!

No problem. If you have a laptop with wifi lying around, you can also use that to check and see if the source of the problem lies @ the router or with your PS3.
