Hi guys, I just got myself a PS3 last weekend (40Gig R3) but yesterday I spent hours and hours trying to get online.

I have followed so many guides online, It will just not connect!

My main PC is on a wired connection but I use my PSP, Dopod phone and Laptop all on the wireless connection without any problems.

If I scan on the PS3 it finds my wireless network and says its at 95% so no problems there.

If I ask it to obtain a IP address then on connection test it will time out while obtaining IP address.

If I go through, manually set an IP address and all the other details it will pass that part but then fail to connect to the internet.

I have tried disabling the WEP and it still wont connect.

Its driving me crazy! Has anyone else had this problem? I'm just about ready to try anything as I have run out of ideas what to try next.

Thanks for any help!

P.S. Sorry this was originally asked in the wrong place.... =/

Just an update in case anyone else was/is having the same problems, I have now solved the problem.....

Basically I just changed my router! I was using a wireless ZyXEL router and had no problems with it at all but like I said, The PS3 just wouldn't connect to it.

I am now using a DLINK wireless router and the PS3 connected first time! No need to set anything, just scanned, connected and worked.

So anyway, it seems that the PS3 doesn't like ZyXEL very much or at least it doesn't like mine.

PROBLEM SOLVED.

Thanks anyway.
