In regards your issue connecting to the internet. You need to make sure that you are connecting your ethernet cable to the PS3 or connecting to a wireless router. If you are connecting to a wireless router double check your WEP/WAP settings. Also note if you have a USB modem to my understanding those would not work with the PS3 because you would not be able to install the drivers.

If you have any more questions let me know

Can't connect bluray to WBR1310

If the IP address is fixed in the BlueRay player, I would reboot the router or modem, which will reassign IP addresses. If one is in use, such as the Blue-Ray, whichever device is currently using it will get assigned a new IP address, assuming it too is not a fixed IP address.

How do I find the new IP address for the Zonet ZSP3611 Printer Server so I can set up my printer to work

An easy way would be to download and install nmap. For the IP address to scan, if your computer ip is say, 192.168.0.52 then enter 192.168.0.0/24 and select the quick scan. Whichever device comes back with an open port of 9100 is most likely the print server.

Tried connecting my ps3 with the wi fi . It obtains ip address successful but fails to connect to the internet . It says dns error 80710102.

Go to the PS3 Network Setup, choose "Manual".
Leave the option for DHCP under "automatic", and under DNS servers, manually add:

208.67.222.222 or/and
208.67.220.220


These are the IP addresses for the Open DNS project and now your PS3 will be able to resolve internet addresses.

I have scanned for my internet and connected to it by typing in my wpa key. but when it comes to connecting the connection my ip address fail. do i type in my ip address manually? if so, where can i find...

First, make sure that DHCP is enabled.
Second, Don't use the pass phrase use the key.
  • For example, if you setup WEP to use a pass phrase like ROSEBUD, use the generated key code under it which would look something like AA34578E9...

Cant get xbox live connected

You have to make sure that your xbox knows your ip address and if your using wireless, your wep key. Your wep key should be on the back of your wireless router and you can make your xbox recieve your ip address automatically by editing the settings. you can edit settings by testing your connection. If your xbox does does not have your ip address, next to ip address it will say failed and next to that it says edit settings.

Connect it to your router with an ethernet cable.
Make sure the router is setup correctly to your modem, if you can connect all your devices by ethernet cable to the internet then it's set.
If you are using a wireless connection and if it asks for the WEP or WPA key, make sure that you are entering the correct encryption key. You may want to call your router manufacturer to know the correct key for the wireless connection. FYI, it will say that the wireless network is connected but it will still fail the IP Address.

If you have a wired connection and the IP Address or DNS failed, I suggest you to call your Internet Service Provider to check for the Internet connection and obtain these (static IP address, subnet mask, default gateway, primary DNS server and secondary DNS server). If your Internet is okay, enter the IP settings manually on the console (System > Network Settings > Edit Settings > IP settings).

That should work.
