f this issue has been ongoing, I would recommend troubleshooting the network connection. Here are a few troubleshooting steps you can take for the network: * Disable your Media Server Connection under [Settings] [Network Settings] [Media Server Connection]. * Power cycle your network devices. Leave both your modem and router unplugged without power for at least a full two minutes.
After you power cycle, attempt to reconnect to your network with the following steps: * Select [Settings] > [Network Settings] > [Internet Connection Settings]. * Choose [Easy] set up, and then [Wireless Network]. * [Scan] for your network, then select your network from the list. * Press right once you see your network's ID, then ensure that the proper security type is highlighted. Press right again, and then enter your network security key. * Press X to save your settings, and then X again to test if your connection is now working.
* Try positioning your PlayStation3 system closer to the wireless router to enhance the wireless signal. * Try updating your router or modem firmware through your computer. * If your router has a MAC address filter, please add the MAC address of your PlayStation3 to the accepted list. Your MAC address can be found at [Settings] > [System Settings] > [System Information]. * You may need to open ports on your router. I've included a link to the port information below, you will need to contact your router manufacturer for support with opening the ports for game play:
* You may need to connect the PlayStation 3 system directly to your router via an Ethernet cable to increase the signal strength. * Finally, try connecting your PlayStation 3 to the Internet in a different network environment (such as a friend's house) to see if you receive better results. If you do, the problem lies with your Internet Service Provider (ISP) or router manufacturer.

what kind of game do you all want to play?if you add them as your friend it would make it the invite or chat room better. then all you would have to do is invite them from your friend list.
The problem is your internet is not good enough to host or join their game. There is probably some type of connection problem or their game is full. Hope this helps.
Welcome to the servers at call of duty :) I've got a ps3 and call of duty 4+5, half the fun of the game is playing with a mate and I've had exactly the same problem as you. It just seems to be about trial and error sometimes, have tried connecting like you for over an hour before and then on other days it just connects wth my mate straight away. Sometimes it helps to join a game(so you can see and hear other players) then invite your mate, if he/she to reply to your invite is quick sometimes you can get in that way. The only other bit of advice is to try different times of the day as the load on the servers does change throughout the day, apart from that it really is an issue with activision and for me the playstation network hope it gets better for you tim
this is a common problem. one of you needs to reset your internet connection... i used to have the same problem. (its not a setting issue)... this should work but if it doesn't, please let me know
On the Ps3 that isn't working, go into the settings and see if there is something under it that is prevent invitations or friend requests. It will probably be under parental controls or network settings. If someone else hosts the game can that Ps3 join. Also try and get the messed up one connected by ethernet cable and not wireless, it may be cutting out as there are 3 ps3's and probably multiple computers hogging the signal.
