PS3 Connection Problems

So, the misses treated me to a PS3 for xmas

- quality piece tbh, much better than i thought

However..... when trying to get the thing to work online im getting errors, where as the PC and 360 have no probems at all.

Router is Zyxel NBG3185, 360 connects wirelessly no problems - yet when I use the PS3 im getting a 80028EA7 error whenever I try to setup my PSN account, it also fails on the internet connection test with error 80028E01 cannot connect to server

Anyone with any experience on these issues - I have googled and am currently battling my way through random posts on various PS3 boards

All I wanted for christmas is simplicity :mad:

hmm, maybe I should wait a bit - have been trying the odd setting change without any luck

this is ridiculous, its impossible to get this console online

plug in a wire and the thing dies, let it go wirelessly and it fails to find an internet connection

looks like a Sony problem from what im reading, i can browse the net pages, so its connecting OK, just something not letting me setup a PSN and thus play games

Thanks for the replies - turns out it was a Sony issue for consoles not updated to the latest software

Mine was running 2.42 or something, but as the servers were playing up I couldnt get the update and thus a circle of misery

Im on now though, nice tbh - love the browser, surfing via the console is nice and relaxing

Played Motorstorm Pacific Rift, good fun - have R2 / LBP / FIFA 09 to crack on with as well
