AOL and PS3 = Fail

GregI · 20 Jun 2008 at 16:46

Afew days ago i was playing on MGO fine but yesterday and today have seen rather not singing into PSN(but getting a connection, done a net test on ps3 and it fails when it gets to the 3rd bit being PSN)

I have a suspicion for the disconnects that it is a diff MTU size i need to use since when going wireless the ISP is Opal Telecom and when wired the ISP is AOL.

Anyone here wireless with their PS3 and using AOL shoot some MTU sizes my way?

Ah yeah just checked and they do.

I just really want to get this MTU size sorted out so i can play online.

Carphone warehouse own AOL actually but I can't imagine that the MTU sizes are causing the problem, it sounds like a DNS issue. Are you connecting to a ADSL Router, if so what model is it?

GregI · 20 Jun 2008 at 17:16

I am using a Netgear DG834PN

It seems as if the Router is losing data packets.

People say the wireless is bad on this router but my signal strength is always above 85%

Ahh i have the same router and wireless doens't work at all with my PS3, it's a well known problem

But i don't understand this. I was gaming last week on it fine(on wireless) for a few hours and only yesterday and today is it giving me problems.

I did have to install a software update for the PS3 yesterday though. (2.36)

GregI · 20 Jun 2008 at 17:58

And do yourself a favour and get off AOL

Soulja · 20 Jun 2008 at 18:14

AOL = ******** Online... I used to work as a web designer and I HATE AOL with a passion for forcing you to use their own **** browser.!!! (don't know if they still do or not though).

insane200 · 20 Jun 2008 at 20:31
