you might have to reduce your firewall settings on your router. I had to do this when connecting the xbox to wi-fi

 

if its a motorla router type this in on your laptop. http://192.168.1.254 .

the username is admin and password is password.

Click on firewall on left panel and select low.

This will lessin the security on you computer but if you've anti virus you shoud be grand.

 

There is step by step you tube videos on it

Make sure ye have the wep key from the book off the internet wireless box its usually a sticker in side

I remember 2 year ago I had a major headach over it

 

when this is done make sure when you sign in click the remember me box so ye dont have to go through it again

 

there is a sticker on underside of wireless box which says wireless key and then a code would that be the wep key?

 

Wireless key is the wep key.

 

thanks for that im still having no luck though it keeps saying ip address failed

 

Go to Internet setting, and inthere you'll find scan. Scan fir wireless routers and it should pick up your one, click your one and then it will ask you for your wep key, that code is under ur modem, type in wep key and you should be ready to go

 

says they are not valid

 

My wep key wasnt on the modem it was in the upc book that i got with the modem are ye sure try the youtube vedios it might help

 

im gone google eyed from looking online they all say the same thing and it aint helping how many didgets should the wep have? maybe im putting in the wrong code all this wep wpa ssid poppe ip address usernames passwords its just doing my head in if i even knew what these things were i might have some hope

 

actually could someone tell me what these are,how many didgits they should have and where can i find them,

ssid
wep
wpa
pppoe

i think im putting the wrong stuff in all the boxes

 

the only code you need is the wep code, if you want ive us a call at half time and ill talk you through it, i remember tryin to get mine on line for the 1st time. pm me if you need my number

 

ssid: = network name e,g, upc1234456 or Eircom54312654
wep = Password (Low security)
wpa = Password ( best security)
pppoe = its a ethernet encapsulation protocol, your ps3 should get all that automatically

if your stuck i can take control of your pc to login to your router

and tell you your password and ssid to enter into the ps3

lads thanks for all your help and suggestions what i wanted to do was get the ps3 shifted upstairs but seeing as i was just ready to chuck the lot out the window ive decided to keep my sanity and ive just solved the problem myself and ordered a 15m length of ethernet cable job done

 

does anyone know if i open my ports on my router will that give me a better connection for online games i cant invite or be invited on ps3 my internet connection is 100% so it must be the router will my service provider talk me through it??

 

ive it sorted thank christ
