I know you've probably answered this before, but here's my question:
I have the 60 gig PS3. I followed all of the steps, including a useful guide from this site on connecting. I get to the connection test step, and get the proper IP address (meaning that part succeeded). However, internet connection failed due to a DNS error, 80710102. Any suggestions?

I have the same problem

I know someone who can solve this problem

Are you connecting through a router?. If so set all of your PS3 settings to easy. If your trying to connect directly to a dsl or cable modem, you might not get connectivity but may get an ip address, as some providers require that you register your MAC address with them to connect a particular device. If you have a router...say a wired one, and you connect any PC through it and get internet, you should be able to hook up the PS3 and put it on easy automatic settings for the connection and it should connect. However, if the router is set for a static ip address (no dhcp), it wont hand out all of the information to the Ps3.
