I keep trying to connect my PS3 to the internet both wired and wirelessly, and everytime I try, It says that the IP address timed out. Can anyone help? I've heard this is a common problem among new PS3 owners

do you have a static ip set up?
if you don't.. its probably because the ip on another electronic device is randomizing to the same number as your ps3..
you can try turning on and off your router or if that doesn't work.
set up a static ip for all the devices connected to your router
www.portforward.com
has a guide.

My only question for you is, did online ever work wirlessly, because if so then you should try turning your router off for 30 seconds then turning it back on, or you may have to call your internet company to find out whether or not something is wrong wirelessly..

Yeah, the first time I tried to connect to the internet, it worked fine, but now it can't connect at all from the IP address timing out. Can someone explain that static IP address stuff short and simple?

Static IP is what it says.

You run around and set each device a unique IP Address so there are no mix ups and loss of service. Read the guide in the link above mate, they will walk you through step by step for your router.
