752684 2009-03-02 08:27:00 Try this (answers.yahoo.com)

You shouldnt have to put the ISP info in it

Or it could be similar, to when I set this Xbox 360 up last week (except its connected by ethernet, not wireless)

I had to reset the modem / re-enter the ISP username / password. (I didnt add its ip in, under LAN in the router).

Then gave the Xbox an ip (I didnt put the ISP info in it), and add the Xbox's ip in under DMZ, in the router. To save me trying to configure it

Thats the only way, I could get it to connect it Xbox live

752687 2009-03-02 08:44:00 Its a dsl g604T I kind of need someone to walk me thru the set up on comp to make sure I got everything set right, I am sure something is missing in the set up on pc but could be wrong,...Thanks Spot spotthedragon (14667)
752688 2009-03-02 08:52:00 Sounds like the same one I've got (Gen II)??

Log into the router

Click on Home / wireless. Is Enable AP ticked?

If it is, leave everything as is, (if the PS3 lets you select a channel, change it to the same one as the router).

Except security. Change it to WPA or higher (if the PS3 supports WPA select it. Then click on apply (in the router). Then go to tools / system / click on save and reboot, to save the options you've selected

Or if that doesnt work, go to advanced / wireless management. Try adding the MAC address of the PS3 in here, then apply and the above (tools / system / save and reboot). Altho it may not be as secure as WPA

Does the PS3 let you add an ip in manually or by using DHCP??

752691 2009-03-02 09:03:00 What about a software firewall??

Besides windows firewall

Any installed?

What ips (and gateway, if it needs one) did you put in the PS3??

752692 2009-03-02 09:11:00 firewall ok, and I put in 10.1.1.3 which I got from accessing the DLink info via the 10.1.1.1 thingy. Sorry dont to clued up on tech terms.. spotthedragon (14667)
