If this in the wrong place please let me know the place to be. the PlayStation forums just went down and i need a little help with my connection. I'm hooked up wireless from a router that also has two computers. I have comcast high speed that has a tendency to drop out every now and then but when it's on, my PS3 is at 97% or higher for the connection. I log in and have no problems getting on the Internet browser and into the store. i downloaded a wallpaper and that worked fine but when i try to download something larger like a video or demo it stops after 3 to 10 percent and gives me a DNS error. I'm not 100% sure what the DNS means and I'm not sure how to fix this. I'm assuming it has something to do with my router set up as i did it myself and I'm not to good at these things. when i did the original setup and tried again it tell me that I'm successful accept the Pnp something is "unknown" or "not available". Thanks
the people at xboxrecommendedIclean the cash to keep my games from freezing periodically. I beleive it's just like a computer where it makes things work smoother and faster. it lessens the pool of garbage information has to go through to get from disc to processor to memory etc... It worked for a little while
I have two computers, an xbox360, and now the PS3 hooked up and didn't have to unplug anything. I can't remember exactly how it was written in the manual but there is a section for hooking to the internet. In this section it talks about security settings and your firewall... also the possability of contacting your internet provider. Try going to manuals.playstation.net on the playstation web site. If your computer works online then it sounds like thats your problem. It could also be a bad cable.
this will sound a little silly but did you make sure you are enabled on the ps3? is there a computer hooked to the router as well? if so some of your security settings may be blocking your connection. You may have to customize your settings instead of the easy install. This may require you to add an IP and other settings manually.
