Im having Internet Problems

I have a problem too.. Everytime I play ps3 I get in a match then 5 mins later, I get kicked out of the server and shows a gray box saying connection (not my internet). I did what pinnacle said - turn off my firewall and I did but its still happening.. Some1 help me please?

just to let every1 know, i have found out there is nothing wrong with my internet but its my phoneline that is making the internet cut out all the time so i have booked an engineer to fix it so i wont be playing until it is fixed

also, try getting the dashboard update, you have to manually download.  It doesnt do it automatically.

i remember alot of people had this problem and it was fixed from the ps3 settings not the routers if i remember correctly

lol thats what they told me when it started happening to me one time, reseting it wouldnt work. i got the same message, DNS error 9124blablasomething. they said the problem was on my end and i never changed anything. came to find out it was a lose wire in the main cable port box outside after i kept complaining about it and i finally got them off their lazy a**es to come and check it out. but also try reseting your router box by unplugging every thing from it. that helped me a few times when i had the same kind of connection problems when i first started playing ps3 online.

yeah they said it was on my side. but i havent touched anything or messed with any settings it just happened. im so confused :(

things are not looking good guys, im gonna try my hardest to get this solved for tommorrow :(

Yeah so in your PS3 the one called "default router" should your router IP address.

The other way to find out your router IP is to go on a computer on your network and bring up a cmdline window (start->run->type 'cmd' and hit ok) and type in 'ipconfig'.  The router IP is the "default gateway"

You are going to need to know the username and pa**word to login to the router.....hopefully you have that!

Have you tried powering everything off and back on?  I mean that's not a permanent solution but at least it'll get you back on for now...especially if you can't login to your router. 

In general the best sequence is to turn everything off...then power up the cable/DSL moden and let it sync up completely....then power on your router and let it come up all the way...then turn on computers/PS3's etc.

dont you have to put your ip address into your internet browser to get your router setting page up coz im doing that but getting nothing !!

im gonna go and get my ps3 ip address but i need to get into my router settings so how do you do that ???

thanks in advance for your help WOPR coz i really need it :)

how do i do that? I.T nOOb xD

The first thing that I do is reset my router (unplug the power for about 30 seconds). I don't have a modem though.
