I m having a little problem with my PS3 when i connect to PSN. It always say CONNECTION TIMED OUT.... Im sick of that F***in sentence I tried everything and i gained lots of knowledge about portforwarding and everything including DMZ and other s**t.. Is that have to do with my router and is it true that D-Link DIR-300 is not good for PS3? or is it have to do with the place i live in? I live in Burma, Where the Cyclone Nargis has happened...

Hmm, simply saying "CONNECTION TIMED OUT" with brief problem statement without more details on your router setup and connections between router and PS3 won't do you any justice.

Are you using a static IP address (without relying on DHCP) or a dynamic IP address (with DHCP's help set by the router) on your PS3?

Are you using ADSL PPPoE routed mode or bridged mode? Did your ADSL ISP provide details on LLC VPI and VCI, primary and secondary DNS, besides your user account and password? The DNS information is the important piece of information for you to be able to connect properly to Internet. Otherwise, you will be totally NAT'ed.

I don't know your ADSL ISP in Burma. In Malaysia, for ADSL Streamyx, TM provides the following DNS settings:
primary DNS : 202.188.0.133
secondary DNS : 202.188.1.5

But, you can also use OpenDNS.org's DNS service. However, DNS service provided by your ISP is more preferred.

Maybe, you can read something at http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/637256. A lot of complaints on D-Link DIR-300 when playing with PS3.

ISP = Internet Service Provider
