I have a Linksys wireless router, and the linksys needed to have the mac address or something of the PS3 entered into the computer so it could connect, even though all the info was right.

Yeah, make sure you don't have to enter the MAC address. Try connecting it with a wire and see if that makes a difference. You could try a different spot in the house too.

You could try calling customer service. The number should be in the back of any Sony game manual...

Have you tried setting it to automatically retrieve the IP setting?

yo i use to get tht, but one time, i started entering random things for Upnp, nat and others and set IP adress as aoutomatically, and it just ended up sensing the ip adress, maybe it was conincidence. btw did u hook up the wireless adapter well?

stand yo ps3 upwards, dont put it on its belly, cuz thts where the wireless reciever is. i use to get 65-70% signal strength on my ps3 when it was on its belly but when i stood it up on its toes i get 100%

but yo i got a wireless G network adaptor my linksys, try tradin the other one in and gettin the one i mentioned

heres a video & instructions i found hope it helps

*btw TURN OFF media server update, should be the very bottom optiion in network settins*

video description:

"A Few weeks ago I started having issues when logging in to the PSN, It was like If I didn't have any connection, all I was getting was "DNS Error 8071010" or something like that, I had the same issue when logging in to Warhawk and MGO, everything seemed ok with my ISP and internet connection, after doing some research I found a fix and also a possible solution to NAT Type 2 since I always end up getting Type 3 with my router. Now, this may or may not work for everyone but it's worth a try, here's the fix:

- Go to Network Settings on your PS3 and select "Internet Connection Settings".

- Select "Custom" and then select Wireless or Wired depending of which type of connection you have, I selected Wireless.

- On WLAN Settings select "Enter Manually" and then enter your SSID and WEP(If you have one) this should be on the back of your router.

- Once you have entered your SSID and WEP select "Automatic" on IP Address Setting and on DHCP host name select "Do Not Set".

- Now this is the most important part, on DNS Setting select "Manual", then type the following settings:

Primary DNS: 4.2.2.2
Secondary DNS: 4.2.2.3

- After you have entered that info leave the MTU on Automatic if you like, I selected Manual and left it on 1500 but there really shouldn't be a difference.

- Proxy Server select "Do Not Use"; UPnP select "Enable".

Confirm those settings and test your connection, If you selected everything correctly you should be done with the DNS error and hopefully you'll be getting a NAT Type 2 connection.

If you do get NAT Type 2, from time to time It may switch back to NAT Type 3, when that happens I just turn off my PS3, reset my router, let it connect again and it should be back to Type 2, at least that's what works for me.

Hope this helps you getting rid of the annoying DNS error and getting the best connection out of your PS3."

Thanks guys I'll try your suggestions and post back here later in the day

work?

@ Sharv,
Darn it didn't work.

@ Dgc,
Tried that, didn't work.

I really don't want to use a wired setup but if all else fails I may have to. Oh and I added more details to my original post.
