OK COMPUTER PEOPLE I NEED YOUR HELP
I have a superfast internet provider. Last night I played on the PS3 online. Today I cannot. The wire is not the problem, for the PS3 knows there is one in there. The provider dosen't seem to be the problem because I am online talking to you on my laptop.
However, when I go on the test connection option, it times out. It says the ip address couldnt be found.
But I use a MAC address to register my online devices with my internet provider. I've checked this and it is correct.
Now and again when I go on the 'settings and connections list' an ip address does come up but with (private network) after it. This number changes every time I go on the connection list.

The PS3 should automatically find the IP, so I don't think it's that.
Sounds more like the security settings. Odd that they might have changed though.

That is fine, however you can create your own Thread for your own discussion or issue. Please do not post in Threads with different subjects.
It is possible that if your ISP has changed any information to do with your account, then you may need to create a new session. This can be done by powering down your router/modem for about 3/4 minutes. I know this is relevant to ADSL but not sure about other connection types, i would imagine it would be similar.
You could also try setting up a static IP address for your PS3, which i know you can do through the network configuration.

I need an answer not a redirection.
