PS3 - some questions

tomanders91 · 2 Apr 2007 at 10:43

i no im trying to connect via an ethernet cable, its an ntl modem

Oh I hate connecting directly from cable modems.
Have you reset the modem to release the IP's?

You would make life a whole lot easier by going out and buying a good wireless router, something like the Linksys WRT54G.

And if you are connecting from the cable modem to the PS3.. how are you able to post on OcUK?

yep tried nearly everything, maybe its time for a router, but first i want to get online at least once lol.

Then the problem is almost certainly that IP's aren't being released.
I was never able to just swap a cable and away I go, I had to wait upwards of an hour to do that.

Thats why I got a router.

He said he was connected directly to the modem, not a PC.

Yes. You can't go wrong with Linksys.

Good man. You shouldn't have a problem, my Linksys proved a perfect purchase for over 3 years, I couldn't recommend them more. Leaves the BT Total Broadband (ADSL) router standing for range and stability.

I have a linksys WRT54G v1.1 with linux 3rd party firmware on it.

With 8 PCs, 3 XBoxes and 2 DS's running on it it's never skipped a beat. Not bad for £25.

<3 Linksys.

The signals are fantastic and I have never had a problem at all. The dashboard on it is also very easy to use and looks a lot nicer than those presented by Netgear, BT or Belkin.
