Can't get internet on ps3




By shoaib93iqba on Nov 08, 2009

" "
I used to play online until one day the whole network in my house went down (i have wireless). My brother (who is a computer science graduate) fixed all the pc's and tried fixing the ps3 but couldn't.

I have tried everything putting all the network settings in manually and even copying them from my pc (so they must be correct) but it still wont work.

The peculiar thing is that it says it's connected giving a signal strength which fluctuates (so its ok) but when i try to open the internet browser even the homepage wont load, i cant sign in and therefore cannot play online.

(when i try open a webpage it gives error sayin "communication error with dns servers" but the dns settings are correct)

Please help me its been ages since i played online and friends are getting really annoyed!!!

Okay, i'll see if i know what we're talking about here. There are a couple of things you could try. For one, try logging into your router, (usually at 192.168.0.1 and looking in the Client or Address lists for a PS3, or whatever you have named it, and then see if you can either disconnect or renew it. Then, redo the whole WiFi setup on the PS3 setting all the settings as you would but leave the IP settings as they are (should be Auto). If that still doesn't work, go into the PS3's connection settings and manually set an IP address. My suggestion is to use the same address as an already connected (and working computer), but change the last number. Whatever you do, make sure there are not two of the same IP address on the router. Hope this helps...
