Solve : Router issue...??

1.	Solve : Router issue...??
Answer» At least I'm guessing its a router issue. Lately I've been having a problem where the connection to my Playstation 3 is not quite right. I can get online just fine but when I get into a game it will boot me within about a minute. Usually I don't get that far and it will boot me before I can even get into a game. My computer works perfectly fine and it shows no sign of dropping at all if I'm surfing or downloading or whatever. When I hook up directly to the modem everything works just fine so I figured it was a router thing. Well I tried 2 different routers, with updated firmware, wired and wireless, with the same result. I also tried another PS3 with no change. I've tried everything I can think of like opening ports/DMZ/messing around with settings to find the problem but nothing helps. I also called my ISP and they claim everything is fine with the modem. ANYWAY I've tried 2 of everything and done all I could. Can anyone think of anything that I'm missing? Thanks. I am unfamiliar with ps whatevers. but when i am tracking down a network drop problem (boot just don't fit the bill) I usually set up a ping on one of the pc's and LET it hammer out to keep the connection "hot". If i add a second machine and the first stops pinging then it usually is one stealling the others network address. Change either one or the other and the first goes back to pinging and then the second will also ping and not cause lockups or drop outs. It could be that one of the units is set to dhcp and the other hard coded into the dhcp.Hello sounds like a IP address conflict. Make sure both devices r set for DHCP.my ps3 is not reading my ethernet cord. i can plug the cord in the router 2 my laptop but it doesnt read when i plug it in my ps3. sum 1 plsss help Quote I'm guessing its a router issue. Well, you have done the legwork. You said you have tried two of everything. So, from your post I understand the the problem only happens when you are using a router, the Playstation and a game Is that right? You may have answered your own question. Routers have lots of work to do. The have built in firewall and lots of stuff that can get in the way. Like not letting some ports pass. Or pass slowly. Is the problem just with one game? You may want to try a site that has people that work a lot with the Playstation 3. ok so i have a time warner cable router that i pay 9.99 a month for and i cant seem 2 get online with my ps3 with a wired connection. it doesnt even read tht its plugged it but if i plug my laptop in it it reads fine. could a firewall or closed ports cause this or do u think it would just give me an error? wen i go 2 internet connection settings on my ps3 it says plug in ethernet cable when it is its just not reading it. please help.. i dont want to buy a LINKSYS router if its my ps3. please help me -DustinIt is an router issue. Sorry, I do not have any experience with the Playstation 3. Ypou could buy a router that is recommended for it. Or, you could try a software program that overcomes the conflicts. I ah not way of telling you which will work. Burt there is free software the does NOT require you to flash the router. Some of the forums you go to try to get you to buy some software that has little to do with the problem. The forum stays away from that.
