Posted November 15, 2010 I wish wired was possible but at this moment in time the family router is safely located in the loft of all places.I've spent countless hours looking up possible solutions, finding ip and dns addresses, turning features off but the furthest i seem to get is it finding the ip. It's always a dns error message i get. Apparently you can configure the router to a certain dns and then match it on the PS3 or something, i may give that a go this weekend as i really do like the PS3 but the online is giving me a headache. DNS error? Who is your ISP? Can you go online on the PS3? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 15, 2010 Another solution to consider is homeplug? You could put a homeplug in the loft by the router and one by your PS3, it uses your house's power supply to carry the signal. Not a great place for a router, anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 15, 2010 DNS error? Who is your ISP? Can you go online on the PS3? DNS error is something like i have an internet connection but it won't connect to PSN, so it says i have a good signal but won't sign me on. BT is our ISP, a homehub. And it was on and off like it would work 50 percent of the time but since trying to resolve it, it won't go online at all even with the 'easy and automatic settings.' I've read countless pages with people having the same error so this weekend i'll probably go and look at the router end of things. And yeah i agree, loft isn't the best place but if i remember correctly it was moved as the dogs kept knocking it off the window sill, disconnecting it.

Posted November 15, 2010 Go into your router settings, through your web browser and change the wireless channel setting to 11 or higher. I remember my friend having problems with his wireless, so I told him to change the wireless channel and it worked. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Is the error code a DNS error (80710102)? Seems like a router issue. Temp fix if you cant get it sorted: 'Go into Network setup (in Settings on the XMB). Choose 'manual' skip through the screens until you get to the one saying DNS servers. This will probably currently be set to auto. change them to use 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 These are Google's DNS servers as opposed to your default. Alternatively Open DNS are 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220 . Try that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If that doesn't work it's probably a problem at the router's end, will try and sort it out this weekend sometime. Cheers for the tips : peace: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted November 20, 2010 (edited) From Joystiq Sony revealing new PS3 exclusiveRevealing your big new game during the Spike Video Game Awards? Pfft -- that's so last year. Sony is taking the wraps off of something for PS3 big enough to warrant its own event the day after the VGAs in Hollywood. It all goes down at 2PM PT on Sunday, December 12. (We'll definitely be in attendance.)Let's have some fun with this -- what do you, dear Readers, think it could be? We'll throw a name out there to get you started: Uncharted 3. You can surely do better than that. Let the brainstorming commence in comments! Edited November 20, 2010 by Cookyman Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted November 20, 2010 Seems the best place to ask.. My 40GB fat PS3 got the Yellow light.. I've rebought a Slim so I might sell the 40GB on eBay. I was planning to keep the HDD and sell the unit but I wonder if anyone would buy it as it is. I was reading some listings and one said the HDD included was reformatted and restored to factory defaults. Is it possible to change out the 40GB and reformat that on my new Slim? Obviously, after that I could sell the fat PS3 with the HDD included. Any advice, help would be great. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
