I can't seem to connect to the PS3 network or even get a connection through my PS3....
I'm using a D-Link router and have been able to play online since november without a problem...I do have the latest update i think its 1.54
and my connection has been working with that update until now...
I went to my internet settings on the PS3 to reset everything up ....
I'd do a wireless scan
find my SSID
Enter the WEP
Select easy for Address Settings
then it goes "Checking newtork configuration please wait..."
and this is where i feel the problem comes into play....
It comes back and then i go through this setup...Asks me for:
IP Address Setting (I select Automatic)
Set DHCP (I select Do not use)
DNS Setting (Automatic)
MTU (Automatic)
Proxy Server (Do not use)
UPnP (Enable)
----
At this point i save it and it asks to Test connection ...so i do
and then i get the "The attempt to obtain an IP address timed out"....
in the past when i was able to connect out it never use to ask me for the UPnP, DHCP, MTU options etc....
so why now am I getting all those options?
- perhaps those options are the default; when it can't get the network configuration?
-==--=-=---=---
So what do i do or need to do....? :(
-==--=-=---=---
I've tried moving my PS3 closer for a stronger connection and even hardwired it and still nada...still asks me for all that extra stuff and i can't ever obtain an IP address...
