Thanks to some people on here, I had a problem fixed.

but now i have one more problem that i need to fix and was hoping some of you guys could help me.

i cant figure out how to connect my ps3 to the internet...i want to do a wireless connection because i have a router...and i followed the steps that the book says to take, and the ps3 recognized my internet connection (100%), but when i set it all up and do a "test connection"...it fails and it says that it couldnt recognize/pick-up the access point.

the steps i take are...wireless...ssid selection...secruity setting password...easy...(then it checks my network configuration)...then it asks me to either manuelly set or automatically set, ip address, dhcp host name, dns setting, mtu, proxy server use/not, upnp enable/disable.....and then it shows me all my selections and asks me to do a test connection and when i do, it says it failed, because the connection to the access point timed out.

does anyone know how i can fix this and get wireless internet connection working?

thanks in advanced!!!!!!!!!

try and do it again with the contoller plugged in with the usb lead

if you look in the ps3 manual it says something about the contoller effecting some wirless routers and if so you need to connect to the internet with an ethernet cable. its in the internet connection section

I am having trouble with this too. I am using a secured Linksys router, and my computer has no problem connecting to it. When I scan for networks on the PS3 all it finds is the computer, and no router. I have tried setting it up custom, but to no avail. Does anyone have an idea that can help me?
