I have both an Xbox 360 and a Playstation 3, and I have them both hardwired into my wireless router. If I leave my PS3 on, like when I am downloading a demo or something, and turn on my Xbox 360, the 360 will not connect to the internet, let alone Live. But once I turn off my PS3, the 360 will connect.

Running tests on the 360 always shows that there is a DNS error. Has anyone else ever noticed this? Seems the 360 and the PS3 don't play well online together, at least not at my house...LOL.

That would be most likely because your internet connection can't handle it.

Actually, I have, and the same thing happens, just the other way around. The 360 will sign in to Live, but the PS3 will not connect to the PSN.

And, I run three PC's and my Wii wirelessly, as well as the PS3 and 360 hardwired. But the only things that conflict with each other are the PS3 and the 360. Even with everything turned off, and the PS3 and 360 being the only two devices accessing the router, the still will not play together. My router is a Linksys WRT54G, which seems to be a fairly standard router.

I have a PS3, Wii and 360 all conected through the same router and they work fine, sounds like you own a cheap router or your settings aren;t right.
