Do you have a wireless router? Sometimes that is an issue.



1. Unplug the cable between your cable modem and your router.

2. Plug the ethernet cable from your cable modem into the PS3 network port.

3. Unplug your cable modem, count to 10, and plug it back in.

4. Set your PS3 to Easy Network configuration, auto everything.

5. Check if you can now connect to the internet from your PS3.



If that doesn't help you may need to troubleshoot with the helpful people for Sony.

For complete help with internet connection for the PS3, read below. I'm assuming you're using a wired connection since you didn't mention which type you're connecting with.



Internet Connection Settings (wired connection)



Set the method for connecting the system to the Internet. When making a wired connection using an Ethernet cable, you can follow the on-screen instructions to automatically select the basic settings.



Network settings vary depending on the network environment and the devices in use. The following procedure describes a typical setup when connecting to the Internet using an Ethernet cable.



1.





Connect an Ethernet cable to the PS3™ system.



2.





Select (Network Settings) under (Settings) in the home menu.



3.





Select [Internet Connection Settings].

Select [Yes] when a confirmation screen is displayed stating that you will be disconnected from the Internet.



4.





Select [Easy].



After you confirm the network configuration, a list of settings will be displayed.



Depending on the network environment , additional settings for PPPoE, proxy server or IP address may be required. For details on these settings, refer to the information from your Internet service provider or the instructions supplied with the network device.



5.





Save your settings.



6.





Test the connection.

If you select [Test Connection], the system will attempt to connect to the Internet.



7.





Confirm the connection test results.

If a successful connection has been made, information on the network will be displayed.



Hint



If the connection fails, follow the on-screen instructions to check your settings. Refer also to the information from your Internet service provider and the instructions supplied with the network device in use.





Good luck !

Reboot your rowder, and if that doesn't work, reboot your modem. Your internet provider could be having a problem
