Wireless Ps3

[daz]

Ps3 is about to be kicked out of the house:mad:. Ive tried everything to get in online through the wireless router but it keeps coming back with I.p address failed even after ive manually put the address in!!

It works fine through a ethernet cable on the same router, so whats the fecks one????

Anyone got any suggestions????????

P.s me WII works spot on with the same wireless router..

What router are you using ? some are incompatible even though they claim to all use the same standards.

[daz]

its a speedtouch from aol

Try disabling UpNP on the router ?

Just had a quick look on the 'net google searching "speedtouch aol ps3" and its not much use. About the most sensible thing one poster put was throw it away and get a Netgear which doesn't help you much. Can you change the channel on the router? I seem to remember I had to do that or summat with mine to get it to recognize my laptop, I think it was something about an MTU setting. Have you tried one of the ps3 forums, or the overclockers forum?

i use a speedtouch with the xbox and mtu bandwidth is fine so the crappy ps3 should have no problems:lol:

You havent got it set to allocate ip address to only certain mac addresses or something like that?

Not sure, im a bit of a numpty when it comes to computers.

[chris_dono]

best advice I could give you is to get rid of the speedtouch and get yourself a proper router (linksys, netgear etc) that will be compatible.

[Southwell]

You dont start 'proper' routers with Linksys :p but i would agree, provider provided equipment is normally pants.

Sky gave me a nice Netgear one..:D

[daz]

Sorted it, for some reason it didnt like my wap key. Changed it to a new one and works:thumbsup: How weird

[Southwell]

You were typing it in wrong then :lol:

[daz]

No it was typed in just fine, just didnt like having all numbers in the password.

[Southwell]

If you can you wanna be on WPA, you can have a security word of your own choosing then, some older laptops/desktops don't like it, but most will. It's also more secure.

Story of my life at work. Computers and kids = numpty...
