Internet provider is persona ,would like to be able to play on line ,but the playstation3,times out before picking up ip address,is this the fault of the provider or my ignorance?
If you have your internet to your computer and the PS3 you need a router to provide an IP for both. Otherwise your ISP will only provide an IP for what ever was hooked up first most of the time. If this is the case try only the PS3 and do the auto setup. Linksys is a simple router with great support. If there is already a router hooked up please clarify.
Ip address ususally needs power cycle on modem and ps3. turn off both modem router and ps3 / wait 2 mins turn on modem / wait 2 mins / turn on router / (dumb routers and switches dont have to power them off) / wait 2 mins / turn on pc or ps3
