Playstation 3 Online - Desperate Need Of HELP!

Okay, for nearly a year now i've tried to get online to play call of duty 4, i bought a ps3 first month it came out and i was rapped about online.

My situation is that i'm using a Wired Modem (surfboard modem) and whenever i try to connect it using ethernet cable to ps3 it always says IP Address timed out and thats pretty much where i'm at.

I've tried turning it off for 10+ minutes and turning it back on and nothing, the only thing that got me an IP Address was when i turned the modem off and tried while it was starting up, it got an IP but instantly it said no connection.

I have a router but i've lost the disc and i think i made an error on something so i have to ignore that.

Please, detailed help would make me sooooooo happy, you guys have no idea.

If anyone has messenger or something i'd love to take step by step instruction, that would be bloody great! :D

Thanks for reading and i hope so badly i get a reply that helps, Joel.

P.S

I'm going to cry if i don't get this working :'(

U GOTTA use a broadband modem atleast 250 kbs.The_Solid

Currently i'm using Optus Broadband

And im quite sure i got past the speed requirements.

Funny you mension the router manual, i've been reading it for last hour, didn't help a bit -_-

Its still like impossible for me to get into my router options, i go "Cmd", ipconfig and the answer i want don't come up,

It is perfectly connected into the modem so idk, i've tried over 10 router ip addresses in the URL for settings but nothing :(

I'm half nerd if that helps?

In other words i will understand nearly everything you say just there may be 1 or 2 speed bumps.

Please tell me you got msn for easier chat? (btw thanks!!!)

Bump :(

Btw nice amount of posts, 1000+

Did you try entering 192.168.1.1 into the internet browser?

Usually that's how you get into your router settings. With the default settings, the username is usually blank and the password is admin.

Which bits, router? modem?

Modem: Motorola SURFboard SB5101 USB Cable Modem

Router: D-Link, Model:DI-704P, Ethernet Broadband Router.

That good?

I said in first post i'd tried all router ip addresses, sorry if you didn't understand.

Yes i've tried http://192.168.1.1/ along with many many many others.

It just say internet explorer cannot display the webpage, perhaps router error?

I dont know if the router works for computer, when used with ps3 it finds IP but no connection.

Its over a year old (was bought for use of online ps3)

I use automatic settings, i've put them all in customly before (that took agesss), but nothing.

All the plugs to the router are in (unless guide is fake? lol)

I've already pushed the button, a big problem for myself is that i don't know where the router box is = no disc

I tried to download it but somehow all i got was spyware etc.

God i wish i could take a photo, save alot of explaining.

My modem is connected to the router using an ethernet cable.

My router is connected to the 8x wall plug-in and the modem

My modem is connected to the computer using a grey cord, sorry i don't know the name, its the one located under the ethernet spot on modem.

I use auto, custom takes too long, i tried that once and nothing good came from it for the time i spent on it.

I just found the booklet for the router.

You sure i need an ethernet cable in both? Because theres only 1 ethernet cable spot for computer or mode, the "WAN" input bit.

There are 4 others but they are the other external ones for shared internet (4 labelled 1 - 4)

HOLY HELL!! nice work on the diagram, thanks a bunch for the effort into that, i noticed you didn't use the WAN slot on the router, that one has to be put in, i think by the router.

The router only came with 1 ethernet cable, so what your saying is i just gotta put the router cable into the computer then try? (cause the rest is already done, except ethernet cable from modem goes into the router WAN slot.

You don't have an Input/Uplink/Internet slot? That type of slot is designed to intake the internet signals... While the rest output it... I guess that could be what your Wide Area Network(WAN) slot is... but I have never seen the uplink slot with a WAN label... So I have no idea if it is or not...

My ethernet cable slot thingy has been kinda stuffed up from a power serge a while ago, i got a converter (plugs into usb slot so i can use at ethernet slot, but i have no clue where it is, currently looking), any other things i could do, and any thought about the WAN input?Joel_Atkins

Oh okay, for the picture of the router, i think if you look closely at the ethernet input on the very right you may be able to see WAN.

I've got a spare ethernet cable from the ps3, i had to buy a 15m cut6.

So all i need now is pretty much a spare ethernet castle spot.

On the back of my computer, it looks like this.

[ethernet spot] (stuff up) [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ]

[ ] = USB PORTS

Took me like 5 mins to get the spaces right on post before but spaces don't let you double space on this.

ethernet slow (stuffed up)

Yeah thats about it, all 4 usb slots are full but im sure i can remove one for time being, in mean time, looking for converter.

Means i can't use.

And thats the only ethernet input on the computer :(

Any thoughts on what else i could do?

I have another computer but this one has got graph chip, burner and all that put into it and other one is just plain type of the comp.

Sorry i don't know what a wireless card is, but i assume i don't have it because my modem, router, everything is wired.

But the router is wired so i don't think wireless is accessible?

I'm pretty sure a wired option is only available considering the router is not wireless, it's possible im wrong.

Booklet says nothing about wireless availabilities.
