I have a problem.My coworkers son got the 80 gig for xmas.I went over to his house to get him on line but it wont work.I went to network settings and scaned,they have wireless.It reads the connection point,shows signal strength but cannot find ip adress.It times out.i tried to manualy type in ip but still wont work.Mine was easy i scaned and was done.Also he got a ipod nano and i plug it in and it freezes the ps3.I plug mine in and it works.Can some one help a little kid get his ps3 online?
I had the exact same problem. On the modem/router there is a password for security. You need to go on your modems page by typing in your default gateway.Go to run, type in cmd, when command prompt comes up type in ipconfig/ all, then look for your default gateway and type it in your web browser. Go to your security page and put in a password and save it, make sure it WEP. Then go to the ps3 and when the security settings comes up go to WEP Security and type in that passwork for your modem router, then it should work. This might be confusing so send me a message if you have any questions. Also make sure the ps3 is in DMZ mode on your modem setttings.
thanks 4 the answer,but the ps3 is at someone else house.im going to go over there monday after work.ill go online at his house and follow your directions.i dont know how to send you a message though
If I read t-machine's answer right it is for a security locked router - did they set this up themselves? Did they get it through Best Buy etc and had it setup? Either way they should have gotten all the password information and also in the router info is the http: address that you need to go to.
If you are savy and can't find the passwords you can also reset the router completely - press the reset button - that will clear all information - then you are going to have to set everything up again. May or may not be worth the risk.
In regards to the nano - don't know. I would try taking the kids nano to your home and check it on the ps3 - issue there and it is the nano - no issue and it is the ps3..
