I'm getting a DNS error. When I try to set my router manually I don't have the proper DNS number thus I have to connect to my router using the 'easy' setup which sets my NAT type to strict. Typically I'm the person that's starts the party, now I can only invite one person.

Is it the PS3 that tells you about the DNS error? What brand router do you have (and if you can't remember that, what does it look like)?

All I hear is that its time to upgrade to the 360. In all my online gaming experience I have never had a domain name problem before. Always a great connection, but thats most likely due to the fact that I buy superior products like the 360.

I didn't know that 360 can upconvert DVD's to Blu Ray! Oh wait, it can't? Hmmm, not an upgrade.

INteresting. I have a similar one (maybe the same router!). Do you know whether you've got a dynamic ip vs. static ip? I'm not sure this matters or not, but I'm just trying to collect all the potentially relevant information.

I'm going to try to go on the PS3 tonight, but it might not be until 9 or 10 MST. I'm taking my kids to a movie in the park thing.

I believe its static, IOW, I just set it and forget it. I can obtain an IP address but I don't know how to get the DNS info and the web isn't helpong much

Go with the Linksys E3000. I use the Linksys E2000 currently and I had the one issue where my NAT was strict but then did what I said before and I have had an open NAT type ever since.

If its an issue of figuring out what DNS your router/computer are using, it shouldn't be too hard. This website will walk you through it.

It also lists several "public" DNS addresses from Google that (apparently) work well with PS3, xbox, and wii. I don't know how using one of those DNS addresses actually works though - IOW, can you just plug it in and go, or do you need to tweak some other settings? I don't know.

Some other people (who may or may not have this exact same problem) have suggested disabling the "media connection" on the PS3. I presume they are talking about the media server option. It seems to have resolved the DNS problem for a fair number of people. Who knows.

I called the job due to rain, lightning and an itch to play MW2. After I tend to the wife, I will be online all night. Let's do this!

Stopping power with the M16 has changed my life.

And ended many others.

We had a decent group last night that was highlighted by multiple kills with one Claymore, being dominated in domination, being unstoppable in TDM, a brush with a sports celebrity, and an F Bomb from niku.
