PS3 and IP Address issues - Blu-ray Forum

jamclaur · 09-29-2008, 07:01 PM

OK. So here's the deal (again, as i'm sure most of you have heard this before) I can't get an IP address with my PS3. It has a wired connection directly into my modem.

I've already turned the PS3 off and unplugged the router then hooked it all back up (more than once) and nothing's happened.

What should I do?

Also, I don't have a PC so I can't look up the IP address on there and I have NO clue how to do it on a mac.

So you have a Mac? You should invest in an Airport.

I should. And need to. But haven't.

OK I found my IP address on the mac... but when I manually type it into the PS3 I can't go forward. Just back. If I hit manual again I go back to the same screen. If I hit automatic I get the error again.

Do you have your computer hooked up as well? If so try hooking the PS3 up and unplug the computer. Some routers have multiple inputs, but cannot rout the signal. You may have to go buy a router.
